Rolling Robots Summer Camp
Robotics Workshops for Ages 7 – 13! This unique summer camp is designed to do one thing: inspire. Each camper takes home new skills and a head full of brag-worthy memories, which they hope will continue to motivate them long after they’ve left the store. But more important, is that each child leaves with the kind of knowledge and passion that will inspire them, in whatever they do, for the rest of their lives. That they’ll spend the day learning…but they’ll be too busy having fun to notice.

As Seen in Allure Magazine: Best Self Tanner
Why does Rodan + Fields sunless tanner produce a more natural looking, less-streaky tan? It contains both DHA and erythrulose both derived from sugars that react with the keratin protein in the dead top layer of your skin to produce a temporary tanning color. It’s similar to the browning effect on a cut apple. While DHA has been the sunless tanner ingredient for decades, this combo is the ticket. Read the Top 5 Summer must-haves at www.mim.io/eb0041.
