Style and function meet in the Maui Breakwaters. These sunglasses look fantastic. They are light and wrap around your eye-section for optimal protection with non-slip rubber nose pads keeping them in place. The polarized polycarbonate (and rather large) lenses are very high quality and are scratch and impact resistant as well as shatterproof.

I very much like the Maui Breakwaters, they may not be the first shades you'll choose if you want to go on a glacier walk, but they will work perfectly well on the slopes. They get highest scores for style as well as for function because their top of the line lens. They come in the colors named Rootbeer, Burgundy, and Gloss Black.

Named after world-renowned rock and ice climber Walter Cecchinel, The Cebe Cecchinel are definitely serious glacier glasses. They are designed to take up on high mountains with lots of snow on them, the place where UV radiation just soars. And they will keep your eyes protected offering superb lenses with 100% UV protection as well as high infrared absorption and black full-protection side flaps. These removable side shields work wonderfully keeping wind and glare out of your eyes and are easily attached or detached. The Cecchinels are made in France and are stylish looking wrap-around shades made with lenses that are designed to be free of any optical distortions that are often associated with this kind of frame. The temples are highly malleable and will nicely conform to the size of your face. Also, extremely soft nose-pads make for an exceptionally comfortable wear. The Cebe Cecchinel can be found in the following two color combinations: Matt Black and Shiny Dark Gun.

Adding alfalfa meal to your garden is a great way to reintroduce the elements and minerals that are depleted after heavy gardening. This organic fertilizer replaces the sugars, starches, elements, and minerals that your plants need to stay healthy. It works well with all different kinds of plants, including bushes, shrubs, flowers, and vegetable. The one thing to be careful of with this product is that it is a rapid decomposer, so it generates a lot of heat. If you put it to close to the root zone in your garden, you can burn and damage the roots of your plants.

This company was founded in 1984 by Hanna Andersson, a Swedish woman who moved to the US and couldn't find any high-quality cotton-knit clothing for her baby boy. She started this company in response to that need, and it has been growing ever since.

Since 2002, Hanna Andersson has made over one million organic cotton items (they also sell non-organic things, so choose carefully when you're shopping on their site or in stores). Their organic items are Oko-Tex certified, which means that every element (fabric, button, thread, zipper) is tested to make sure that they are free of over 100 potentially harmful substances.

On the practical side, they last a long time because they're unbelievably durable, and specially cut to fit your kids before and after their growth spurts. On the fun side, their pajamas come in adult sizes too, so should you have the urge, you can get matching long johns for the whole family.
