Sun smarty-party

Well not exactly a party but from today emma is having it's first in-store promotion.
It's in support of a very good cause and timely as we welcome summer 09/10!

This week is Sunsmart week and having lost my Dad to melanoma a couple of years ago I thought it was time to do my bit to help spread the word, so word up...

slip into some cool summer threads ( yours truly may be able to help you with this one:) and find shade under a big tree, especially between 11am-4pm.
slop on spf30+ broad spectrum sunscreeen thickly at least 15 mins before going outside, keep on applying throughout the day if you're outside as it doesn't last forever and rubs off too.
slap on a wide brimmed hat or styling cap with flaps.
Emma has got some cute sunhats in from Filiokus for the littlies-think strawberries, watermelons, kiwifruit-ahhh:)
wrap oh yeah... the essential, I'm too cool for school, sunglasses. Close fitting and wrap around are best.

It's all pretty easy stuff really.

My dad and I shared a great love for chocolate so all this month emma will be giving away with all purchases over $50 vouchers for chocolates and hot/iced chocolates from
L'Affaire au Chocolat (just a couple of doors down the road). Oh so yummy.

Look forward to seeing you soon and please keep sunsmart!
