One Minute Outside

One Minute Outside

March Sun Is Sneaky (and That’s Why We Practice “One Minute Outside”)
By Elise, founder of eclipse

March is the month that tricks us. One day it’s gray and chilly, the next day you’re outside with your face tilted to the sun like a houseplant that found a window. And here’s the part nobody loves hearing (but your dermatologist would definitely high-five): UV doesn’t clock out because it’s still winter-ish.

So this month, I want to offer you something tiny and doable:

The eclipse “One Minute Outside” Habit

Once a week (or whenever you remember), step outside for 30–60 seconds. No pressure to do more. 

Try this:

  • Find the brightest thing you can see and name it like a kid would.
    Mine: laser-lemon sky. Yours?

  • Or listen for the closest animal sound (bird, squirrel, dog, mysterious leaf cruncher).

  • Or look for a cloud shape and give it a ridiculous name.
    Sleepy dragon? Croissant whale? I support your creativity.

It’s not about productivity. It’s about returning to your life ~ outside ~ on purpose.

Kids Headbands Are Back (Cute + Actually Protective)

Our children’s headbands are back in stock, and I love them because they protect places that burn fast:

  • tender ears

  • the forehead at the hairline (aka: “how is that sunburn even possible?” land)

We have a bunch of colors, and we also have matching kids sun sleeves because “matchy” is fun and it helps kids wear the gear.

Special Offer Gift: Free 3-Piece Set with $70+

This one’s simple and sweet:
Purchase $70+ of eclipse products and receive a FREE gift set:

It's Here: The Sienna Collection

Sienna has been living in my head like a color-story soundtrack: canyon walls, warm stone, late light. The full Sienna collection is live! 

We Have a New Ambassador: Chris (and he rows… for real)

We’re proud to sponsor Chris on his journey, and we’ll be following along as he rows!
Follow here: https://cbrows.com/

He’ll be wearing eclipse gear along the way: gaiter, sleeves, hoodie and our full-length Jogger designed for men and women because sun is equal-opportunity.

Pro-Tip: Tie Your Sleeves to Your Bag

If your sleeves aren’t on your arms, tie them to your bag strap. It’s the easiest way to make “sun-smart” automatic.

One More Thing… Early April Surprise

We’re going to be featured in a major publication in early April and like with Oprah, they found us because they love what we’re building. We’re a small company and we don’t pay for ads or PR, so this means the world.

Here's to enjoying the sun the healthy way.
See you outside, even if it’s only for a minute!
