UV Skinz Swim shirt Review & GIVEAWAY!

Living where we live (coastal sunny SoCal) we go to the beach often... at least a couple times a week. So obviously, sun safety is a concern for my family. Especially for my little guy. He's pretty fair skinned and I worry about how much sun he's getting. I've actually been on a quest not only to find a long sleeve swim shirt, but a GOOD one! The surf shops are full of swim tops that simply look cool, but a top that looks legit AND serves a purpose is really hard to find. So when I got a chance to work with this company I was STOKED! I love everything UV Skinz stands for. I love their mission statement, to help raise awareness about the importance of good sun protection. Please check out Rhonda's story about how she lost her husband to skin cancer. And find out about the DLF Foundation.

Not to mention, I LOVE their products! We got to choose a swim shirt for "Easy." I choose the long sleeve navy blue one. When I got it in the mail I was VERY impressed. This shirt is excellent quality and had all the features I've been looking for:

Long sleeve
50+ UV Sun Protection
mock neck
Micro Fiber Blend: quick drying, chemical free, and silky-smooth material
flat stitching, no tags or irritating seams.
This shirt is not made cheap at all! Thicker, yet stretchy.

Check out "Easy" in his skinz at the beach! I loved how I didn't have to slather the boy in sunblock. Fewer chemicals on his little body. It fit perfect and he was stinkin' cute in it!

Ready for some more AWESOMENESS!?! They're giving one away!!! Yep, one of you can win a UV SKINZ BABY SWIM SHIRT OF YOUR CHOICE!!! All you have to do is browse around their shop and pick a baby UV Swim Shirt, and then leave a comment on this post telling me which one you would choose.
