Great Summer Finds

Get Beach Feet
Stride in style with Flojos sandals. You'll find a great assortment of styles and colors—something to match every mood and outfit. (www.flojos.com)

Stop the Rash
Allergic reactions from poison ivy, oak, and sumac account for more than one million emergency room visits each year. Two new hypoallergenic, fragrance-free products, buji Block, with SPF 20, and buji Wash, effectively defend against, or cleanse away, toxic plant oil. (www.bujiproducts.com)

Block the Sun
Don't go anywhere this summer without skin protection. If you have sensitive skin, try Coppertone's Oil Free QuickCover Lotion Spray Sunscreen. It was formulated to protect you from the sun without clogging your pores or causing breakouts. It's waterproof (but be sure to reapply after swimming or sweating) and has no ozone-depleting CFCs. This SPF 50 sunscreen helps prevent premature skin aging from sun exposure and contains moisturizers and vitamin E. Also from Coppertone, Moisture Mist Tan Continuous Spray. (www.coppertone.com)

Food to Go
Protect yourself from illness by keeping your foods at the right temperature. Warm & Tote, maker of handy food totes, offers the Lunch 'n Buddie: a backpack into which you can toss snacks, drinks, and a lunch in the special Lunch & Go tote that keeps hot food hot and cold foods cold. A new travel option is Coach Café, which not only lets you bring your own meal in the Lunch & Go, but provides the amenities that a no-frills airline does not, including a clean pillow, blanket, linen tablecloth and napkin, and other helpful items.

Avoid Summer Colds
Blast germs naturally with earth-friendly Naturally for Hands, formulated to kill more pathogens than other products on the market. Available in a mist or gel, its ingredients are all natural and biodegradable. (www.naturallygmp.com)

New Organic Hand Washes
TerraNova has added seven hand washes to its line of natural personal care products. These mild cleaners, in a range of fragrances, are 70% certified organic, sulfate-free, and formulated with high-grade vegetable based cleansers as well as aloe, lavender, oat, chamomile, and other ingredients that leave hands soft and hydrated.

Take it Along
Spec.-Ops offers wallets and organizers that make it easy for you to tote your necessaries to the beach…or almost anywhere our travels take you. T.H.E. Wallet from Spec.Ops fits the back pocket of your pants, but is big enough to hold cash, receipts, airline tickets, and passport. You can also wear it around your neck or mounted on your belt. The Pack-Rat Drop-In Organizer gives you a place for everything with 14 separate storage compartments, and the Mini Cargo Pocket Organizer keeps your small essentials in one easy storage unit that fits in the pockets of most cargo pants, travel vests, or field jackets. The pouch has two internal pockets perfect for notepads, PDAs, or iPods. (www.specopsbrand.com)

Sweet Feet
Your feet can look great all summer, without paying consequences in the form of pain. KIWI offers a range of new products to keep your feet comfortable and fresh. KIWI Fresh'ins Disposable Shoe Inserts are ultra-thin and lightly fragranced, and KIWI Smiling Feet Invisible Gel Cushions are available in a variety of styles from Gel Ball of Foot Cushions that protect the ball of the foot to Gel Strappy Strips that help keep straps from rubbing and slipping.
