Citrus Colada + Fairy Tales Hair Care

Siena has been asking me if we could have a pool day from the first sign of sunshine. She also has a long standing campaign for us to live by the beach. Until she has found ways to live her dream. We created this Citrus Colada drink naming it our poolside sip of the summer! The ingredients were inspired by our favorite swim bag essential, Fairy Tales Hair Care Sun and Swim line.

I alway spray Siena's hair with the Coco Cabana After Sun Spray when she gets out of the pool, whether it's from a swim lesson or a long summer's day of swimming. It is color safe, so I spray it in my hair as well! There are no toxic or harsh chemicals. It has citrus peel oil, pineapple extract, aloe, and banana leaf. No wonder we were inspired to make a sunny drink!  I also will wash her hair with the Clarifying shampoo once a week during the summer to help keep her blonde hair from getting that green tinge to it. It helps to remove the chlorine and restore moisture. Find out more about how specially formulated swim shampoo benefits your child check out this article: Mom's Guide to Kids Swim Shampoo.
