Delight of the Day: Yes to Carrots Products with Sunscreen

I don't have to tell you how important sun protection is during the summer, right? Even women of color should wear a moisturizer and lip balm with sunscreen daily.  And don't forget your hat and shades too. 

So if you're looking for a two-for-one benefit in your beauty products, say Yes to Carrots. I'm a big fan of the paraben-free products made with organic ingredients.  Plus, they're seriously affordable.

The wholesome brand's latest (available at Target and Walgreens) are infused with zinc oxide, a mineral that provides natural protection against UVA and UVB rays:


Hydrating Body Lotion with SPF-30 ($14.99) is made with organic carrots rich in natural vitamin A and aloe vera.

Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF-15 ($14.99) includes beta carotene-rich organic carrots and pumpkin seed oil.

Pomegranate Lip Butter with SPF-15 ($3.49) will protect your pout with vitamin A-and-E-rich shea butter and aloe vera.

    I've worn the body moisturizer a few times and all I can say is that I haven't been sunburned while wearing it around the city. But if you plan to go lay out on the beach I would also use a dermatologist recommended sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and

Soak Up the Last Weeks of Summer Sun At The Rockaway Hotel

Summer is winding down, but there's still time to soak up the sun -- while wearing sunscreen, chic shades and a protective hat or sun visor, of course. If you're in New York City, The Pool at The Rockaway Hotel + Spa  is a cool place to swim, lounge and discreetly people watch while swaying to beat of ambient music.  It's a vibe! Day passes are available for non-hotel guests Monday through Thursday (excluding private events, 10 am -7 pm).  Located in the heart of the Rockaway Beach community in Queens, New York, the Rockaway Hotel is just a few short blocks from the sand and surf. Besides the outdoor pool,  the  newly built 84,000 square foot hotel offers around 60 guest rooms, a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a large event space. And it's a nice addition to the area.  When my husband and I visited the popular pool, we enjoyed yummy sips and bites poolside. Lounging chairs are first come, first serve so the early bird gets the spot of their choice. After chilling at t
