Every year about this time we get a note from our preschool asking parents to either sign off on the school’s sunscreen application regimen (their brand) or to bring your own. We’ve always brought our own because I was not at all keen on the brand the school used.

Not sure who got the last laugh when I learned last year that my “this one’s safer” brand was, ahem, loaded with oxybenzone. How did I know? EWG’s Cosmetics Database, of course. And for the curious, oxybenzone is on our list of ingredients to avoid.

And what did I do? Ditched the toxic stuff immediately (not cheap), and followed the practical advice on EWG’s handy 1-page guide to safe sunscreen. Leading me to a safer product and a better understanding of how the stuff actually works. Now we’re neither burned nor toxic. Success!

Tauck, one of the leading tour operators focusing on foreign adventures, has just unveiled a new brand initiative called “Culturious ” - a “new kind of guided travel” that takes intimate groups on adventures that deeply engage them in the cultures they’re visiting.

Tauck is tailoring the Culturious trips for boomer-aged travelers and combine a more active, immersive, “hands-on” approach with smaller groups and an in-depth, regional focus.

“It’s been very exciting to get the word out to agents and consumers about the new Culturious trips,” said Tauck CEO Dan Mahar, “and we’ve been very encouraged by the enthusiastic response we’ve seen.” Interest in the new Culturious trips has also included mainstream consumer media, with the Culturious launch being highlighted in the New York Times and in an Associated Press article that has appeared in over 50 news outlets across the country.

As the latest addition to its "twiddler" series of mobile travel applications, San Francisco travel software company thumbble has just released "Super twiddler " - a unique iPhone travel app providing unique, emotion and location based travel guides to the tech-savvy explorer.

Super twiddler suggests to travelers the "what, where and when" of their destinations, based on the traveler’s mood, timeframe and location, allowing travelers to "dig beneath the surface" of their destination and really experience the true flavor of the place.

The app is a follow-up to the company’s prior tool, twiddlerSF - a mobile travel guide specifically for San Francisco. In contrast, the new Super twiddler iPhone app covers 27 major cities across the U.S. and includes enhances social features that let travelers share their travel experiences with friends and contacts.
