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

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . 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 New York City, 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 white checkered pants with a matching lime green
