Spring is here for most of us and with the onset of spring comes the opportunity to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Often we equate that to more activities, acquiring a suntan, planting flowers or a garden.

Another way to enjoy the sunshine comes with the added bonus of enjoying better health. Woman Standing on a Sunny Beach Wearing a Sarong and Hat

It's a good idea for Vitamin D, and i think if we be Consumer Aloe Safety and I've been doing a lot of research on aloe benefits. I've found some good sites like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloe and http://www.allaboutaloe.org, but I'm wondering if you have sites you'd highly recommend?"
