Spent some time getting crafty with the girls in the office last week & upcycled some of our favorite hair accessories. First up was a hair towel, one that’s perfect for after the shower while you're getting ready for work or play!
For these we used some of our old and worn in towels. These mimic those microfiber hair towels with a little bit of a salty and recycled touch! It’s perfect for anyone with those piles of beach blankets or towels in the garage looking for a fun craft for the weekend.
Second up was the OG Sonny Scrunchie! For these we broke out the steps because they are a must have and great to make with your old linens, towels, or tees! They are also great for your hair as they decrease breakage & eliminate that classic ‘hair tie bend’ when you let your hair loose. Follow the steps below & tag us in your posts of your hair ties with #OGSonnyScrunchie so we can see your spin on it!

Does sunscreen block blue light? Some do, some don't, it all comes down to what's in the bottle. If you're wondering, can sunscreen block blue light? The answer is yes, but only certain formulas offer meaningful protection. Blue light comes from the sun and is emitted from every screen you look at, and it's been linked to dark spots and early signs of aging. The catch is that a lot of everyday sunscreens aren't built to block it. Here's which formulas actually help, and how to give your skin better backup against blue light.
If you've ever wondered, can you get sunburned under water, the answer is also yes because UV rays continue traveling below the surface. Your dip might feel like a refreshing break from the sun, but UV rays don’t stop at the surface. They travel right into the water with you, which means your skin could still get burned when surfing, swimming, or splashing around. Read on for why swimming can actually increase your burn risk, and how to stay protected while still making the most of your beach days. Because one thing about us, we’re staying in the water.
Do you need to wear sunscreen indoors? It sounds like overkill until you realize how much sun gets inside. If you're wondering, "should I wear sunscreen indoors?" the answer is yes, especially if you spend time near windows or in bright indoor spaces. Between the UVA rays slipping through your windows and the blue light off your screens, indoors isn't the safe space for your skin you might think it is. Here's when indoor SPF comes in clutch, what it protects against, and how to fit it into your routine.
Does SPF 30 vs. SPF 50 feel like choosing between green or red sauce on your burrito? We get it and we’ve got you. Here's what changes between the two and when to bump up.
Is 70 the new 50? When it comes to SPF, we love them both. From daily coverage in peak summer to all-out protection if your surf trip turns tropical (lucky you),if you’re comparing SPF 50 vs 70, or wondering does SPF 70 work better than 50, the answer comes down to how intense your sun exposure is.
We’re going for bronzed, not burned, and choosing between SPF 15 vs. SPF 30 can be the difference between the two. Here's what to know before you, ahem, reach for the bottle.
