I Fell in Love at First “Spray”! *GIVEAWAY Extended!
As a Mom the keyword to surviving the days is simplicity. Keeping everything simple makes life so much more enjoyable and just plain easy.
Simple play…go to the park.
Simple meals…fruit and veggie sticks with yummy dip.
Simple sun protection…UV Skinz.
Simple sunscreen…Kinesys!
My family had the opportunity to try out Kinesys spray sunscreen. This is one amazing sunscreen! The safest and most effective spray sunscreen with out all of the extra harsh chemicals.
First, it’s a spray (way more simple than dealing with goopy creams). My daughter’s and even my husband never complained one time when I applied the sunscreen on them. Yes, I do have to put sunscreen on my husband! Mostly the back of his neck and ears. The spray goes on wet, but dries very quickly.
Second, it’s just simply offers antioxidant UVA/UVB sun protection without any harsh chemicals.
It’s totally FREE of: 
- Oil
- Preservatives
- Alcohol
- PABA
- Colorant
- Nuts
- Eggs
- Gluten
- Nanoparticles
- Soya
- Dairy
- and Sulphite
Kinesys sunscreens are “hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, water & sweat resistant, offer photo-stable broad- spectrum UVA/UVB protection and contain topical anti-oxidants to scavenge free radicals.”
Kinesys is availabe for the whole family; from active adults, to children and even a teen spray sunscreen which comes in a green tea and vanilla scent.
I really did fall in love at first “spray”!
All corniness aside, Kinesys is the first spray sunscreen I recommend to anyone with allergies, children, sensitive skin or just short on time. It is fast, safe and effective. The microspray doesn’t require any rubbing. Just spray and GO!
Kinesys is also leading in their environmental awareness. They use recyclable packaging, non pressurized aerosol pumps, green power and are carbon neutral. You really can feel confident as a parent and consumer that you are supporting an excellent company.
To all of the lucky UV Skinz readers Kinesys is hosting a GIVEAWAY!

A Sweet Way to Protect your Kids!
Eyes Cream Shades!
(Journey is wearing Glamour Girl, Vanilla flavored!)
Eyes Cream Shades was created by Faith Smith who founded her company on a common sense belief that children need to be protected with good quality sunglasses and not “toys” or novelty items on their eyes.
All of the sunglasses (prescription or non-prescription) block up to 100% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. The lenses are made of a tough polycarbonate that are virtually shatter-proof. Eyes Cream Shades are especially designed for your kids ages 6 months and up!
Children need good eye protection too!
UV rays can also contribute to eye health problems and most eye damage occurs before the age of 8. Just like skin cancer prevention needs to start at an early age, it is never too early to protect your children’s eyes from the same UV rays that can cause a sunburn.
Don’t you just love the name?
These cool sunglasses come in some very “Delicious Flavors” that are appealing to kids; Cotton Candy, Mint Ice, Strawberry Ice, Peppermint Stick, and much more!
(Faith is wearing Fashion Frenzy, Strawberry Ice flavor and an Olivia style UV Swim Shirt)
I loved the sunglasses the minute I saw them and I have to say that Journey and Faith have started to become more accustomed to wearing them. They have never worn sunglasses except silly dress-up ones so it has been all about consistency, which is a good reason to start good eye protection at an early age.
Now I give them a choice; they can wear a hat or their sunglasses. Most of the time they choose the sunglasses. Faith will put hers on and say she is ready for the beach!
We were ready for the beach and I felt really confident that both of my girl’s were fully protected and comfortable. Even running and jumping through the waves the glasses stayed put and after a while I don’t think they realized they were wearing them.
The best thing about Eyes Cream Shades is that for the quality of product and durability they are a very affordable investment in your child’s well-being and eye health.
Kids need regular eye exams. They need to eat their vegetables and wear sunblock. And they need Eyes Cream Shades!
Now you know I wouldn’t let you leave without a chance to WIN a pair of Eyes Cream Shades for the special child in your life!
How to Enter!
(You MUST complete the first entry to qualify for the additional entries)
Entry #1 : Visit the Eyes Cream Shades website, browse around and leave a comment telling me; Which “Flavor” (besides the ones I listed above) of Eyes Cream Shades you would like to win!

Tru Kid-Healthy Habits
I am really excited to tell you about this amazing all-natural children’s skincare. Tru Kid. All of Tru Kid’s products are made from essential oils and natural ingredients (all ingredients are non-toxic and gluten-free!) in bright, eye-catching packaging with REALLY fun names! Tru Kid is “built on a philosophy to encourage kids to form healthy habits that last a lifetime.” What I love is that they do it in such a fun, encouraging, and very positive way. It is such a great concept. We can all agree that healthy habits, good manners, and responsibility are learned at an early age. To help children learn how to care for themselves and have fun doing it, Tru Kid provides printable songs, rhymes, and Healthy Habits checklists.
It is no wonder that Tru Kid would have such a great product line; from their Bubbly Bubble Wash to the Happy Face and Body Lotion since the creator and CEO is a Mom. Here is her story…
“When she first explored the idea of creating a children’s skincare product line, Jennifer Adams Bunkers was a mother of five with another on the way, and serving as CEO of her international products manufacturing company, Velocity Source Group. As one can imagine, such a busy lifestyle left little time for a complicated regimen when it came to keeping her children’s skin protected and healthy. However, with her children participating in various sports teams under the sun and other outdoor activities, Jennifer realized that using skincare products on her children was absolutely necessary.”
Jennifer’s goal is that kids will grow up taking care of themselves, each other and their environment. Even my three-year-old can use her Healthy Habits Pack and she can’t read the words on the label yet, but Tru Kid has a unique learning system that places easy to recognize pictures and labels on all of their products. If Journey sees a smiley face then she knows it is for her face only, or she knows a head with crazy hair means the product is for her hair, etc.
Jennifer also paired seven Healthy Habits with seven incredible Tru Kid’s products to come up with the Healthy Habits Pack. In each Healthy Habits Pack you get; a Sunny Days Sunscreen, a Happy Face and Body Lotion, a Friendly Face Wash, a mini Hero Stick, a Spiffy Spearmint Lip Balm, and a Bubbly Bath Bar. Now combine these with every child’s seven daily Healthy Habits!
- Eating a good-for-you breakfast (For example: cereal, milk, fruit etc.).
- Washing your hands with warm water and soap, to prevent the spreading of germs!
- Washing your face at night to keep it looking and feeling clean and healthy.
- Putting Sunscreen on everyday, to prevent sunburns and other harmful effect from the sun.
- Brushing your teeth in the morning, after every meal and before bed (when possible).
- And who could forget bathing!! We all need bath time!
What a great resource for parents and an excellent learning tool for children! And guess what?! You could WIN one! Tru Kid is gracious enough to GIVEAWAY one Healthy Habits Pack to ONE lucky winner!

It’s Party Time!–Giveaway Ended
Hi! Welcome to the UV Skinz blog! I’m Kalisha, your host and resident blogger here at UV Skinz. This is UV Skinz first time at a 5 Minutes For Mom Ultimate Blog Party and I am so excited to party it up with you today!! Take a look around…and read on for a Surprise Party Favor Giveaway!
With my new found sun savvy-ness I will be bringing you lots of great giveaways, sun protection information, my own personal adventures in the sun and new sun protection products that I come across.
UV Skinz was established after Rhonda Sparks, the founder and President, lost her husband to skin cancer when he was just 32 years old. This sparked Rhonda’s passion to raise awareness and educate others about sun protection, but never losing sight of how valuable it is to PLAY and HAVE FUN outdoors!
I feel so lucky to be a part of a such a family-oriented company. I am a SAHM mom to two feisty and loving little girls; Journey-3yrs and Faith-2yrs. Living in So. California has us all spoiled because 80% of the time we are outside at the park, taking walks, or just exploring. My daughter’s are bi-racial, but sun protection is crucial for everyone–no matter skin type or race. I became a fan of UV Skinz after I had an opportunity to review their swim shirts for my personal blog the Mommy Lounge last year. Journey and I both fell in love with the uv swim shirt (she wouldn’t take it off!) and the UV Skinz mission to prevent skin cancer and get all kids covered. That is how I came to blog for UV Skinz. I have enjoyed learning and sharing with you so far and I hope that you come back and visit again!
Here are a few ways you can stay connected to UV Skinz;
- Join our new monthly UV Skinz Newsletter! (Sign-up is on the UV Skinz main homepage)
You can expect to receive newsletters from us about once a month and our goal is to bring you all the latest and greatest sun-safety information possible; whether that be in the form of the best sun screen lotion we’ve found on the market or what the latest medical statistics are saying about skin cancer. And we will always be sure to share with you about UV Skinz special offers or when we get new styles and items in.
