Pick of the Week

I am heading to sunny Orlando Thursday and have the sunscreen taken care of with these wonderful Elemental Herbs Zinc Sunsticks. No worries about taking these on a plane or having them spill out in your cosmetic bag. Plus they are coral-reef safe and chemical-free so it's fine to use on your face too. Look for them in unscented or coconut formulas for just $7.99. Find them at health food stores and outdoor sports shops. www.elementalherbs.com

Snow Much Fun

 

I was lucky enough to go to the Winter Carnival in Quebec City, despite my pathological aversion to cold, and had an unforgettable experience. Check out the Winter Carnival package at TRYP Quebec Hotel PUR with rates starting at just $110 per person per night - Feb. 12), which includes two breakfasts and two Carnival Effigy passes that include access to most of the main activities. Check out the parades, snow sculpture events, sleigh rides and the Arctic Spa Village. http://www.tryphotels.com/en/tryp-pur-quebec-hotel-canada.html

Runner-up prizes are a canvas print and a package of pens from Pentell of America. Draw a pretty map focusing on special things you love about your favorite place with info so someone could print out and take it with them.
