The following quote is similar to what I had read a few weeks ago:
"Did you know that when sun's rays hit your retina your body is stimulated to produce more melanin, therefore protecting you from sunburn? Consider taking those sunglasses off for a while when you're out there. Remember, your eyes are designed to adjust to light." (Cindy Joseph, from the second article/link below)

Since I had never heard of this before I was really curious to what this was all about. So after a few google searches I found these sites. Interesting indeed.

and no people...the mutant squirrels have nothing to do with the article I want you to read...scroll down to the appropriate article:

this page also talks about vitamin D ...very interesting! Those certain people I give a hard time about not showering...you now have a good excuse.

So I have had tons of things swirling around in my head. Ideas I wanted to post. Things I wanted to share. However I have been holding back because I have not had the time to put all those thoughts together to make a thorough post. So since my life is not going to get any slower - I thought I would just tweak the way I will be posting. I decided that I will just post the tidbits as I get them...as they come up or just when I think they should come up! So today I will bless you with some information that I have been sorta working on...again not done researching.

So- some of the natural blogs/site I follow have talked about safe sunscreens. When I started reading I realized that the sunscreens were just as toxic as the sun on our naked skin. So I will simply post some of the sites so far and then you can decide what you think! Then as I do future research I will post those findings as well. Enjoy.
