☀ If you’re feeling the heat as much as we are, then sunscreen has been your friend this summer… or has it? Rates of skin diseases are growing, as is skepticism about sunscreen. Later this year, a new sunscreen ingredient that’s already popular in Europe and Asia will hit the US market. Time will tell if people use it.
🧸 Brown Toy Box is relocating its flagship store to South Downtown, opening later this year at 211 Mitchell Street alongside Village Books and Crates ATL. Founded by Terri-Nichelle Bradley, the STEAM toy company has been featured by Oprah's Favorite Things, Forbes, Walmart, and Target.
