Double Duty: Beauty with SPF
We all know the rules about going to the beach: stay out of the sun between ten and two when the sun’s rays are strongest, bring a beach cover up, wear a hat, and sunglasses, and oh yes, use lots of sun screen!

Lucky for us, more and more companies are releasing versions of everyday products with SPF in them so that we have one less thing to worry about; and while these products are by no means enough for a day at the beach, they at least give us a modicum of protection while we carry on with our busy life.

Jenefer Miles’ home is large, and accommodates an old table and bench set in the front yard. Various styles of boards litter the sideways next to miniature palms–some red, some yellow, some multicolored, some single finned, all with “liquid soul surfer” written on top.

Beauty and the Beach
There’s a war being waged in the south of Florida. A war between two forces, Mother Nature and her precious creations and the devastating power that is man. What began as a skirmish during the time of the railroads arrival to this part of the state, has escalated into an all out battle pitting the Everglades against the insatiable consumption and growth of human kind.
