Girls Night

Tracy Ross (a wife of one of Bob's co-workers and my "family" here in Israel) and I went out for Girl's Night last night (Sunday).  We first stopped at Max Brenner.. This is a restaurant that specializes in chocolate..

Afterwards we went shopping.. Perfect activity for estrogen bonding.. :)

I decided that I needed to take the pictures below to show how expensive the sunscreens are over here..

Careline SPF 30 60 NIS = 16 USD
Dr. Fischer SPF 45 100 NIS = 27 USD
Avene SPF 50+ 200 NIS = 54 USD

So it really makes me wonder what is in the Avene that warrents the outrageously high price..  When I looked up this product to see if it had "gold" in it..  (Nope don't see any gold it in..;)

Active Ingredients: Octoxynol (10%, Sunscreen), Octinoxate (7.5%, Sunscreen), Titanium Dioxide (3.8%, Sunscreen)

Inactive Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Polydecene, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Lauryl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl 2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Butylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Ethylparaben, Fragrance, Isobutylparaben, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Methylparaben, O Cymen 5 OL, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Trimethoxycaprylylsilane, Xanthan Gum , Zinc Oxide

I can't find the SPF 50+ on a US website but if you were going to purchase the SPF 20 from Drugstore.com it would be $21 dollars..  Still expensive for sunscreen but not Israeli expensive.. 

Note to anyone coming to visit us in Israel.  Bring your own sunscreen from the US! ;)
