Here comes the Sun . . . and a Giveaway!
I walked into my normal time and day to teach a class at the Y recently and everyone told me I looked so tan. I couldn't figure out what they were talking about. I hadn't been to the beach, a lake, or really even by a pool. I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary except maybe do some yard work, walk the dogs, sit through a couple of baseball games outside and do a little late afternoon reading outside. That's about the extent of my "sun" time. It made me realize, though, that that's all it takes to get sun and sun damage. Gone are the days of slathering up in Crisco or baby oil (come on, don't judge me. If you are of a "certain age", you know you did that!) .
I now lather on the sunscreen and ALWAYS wear a hat when in the sun. I am really good at NOT getting sun on my face. However, I also now pay close attention to my neck, chest, arms and knees. Yes, ladies, the knees. Think about how the sun gets to them any time you have on shorts!
So, I'm going to share with you a very favorite Sunscreen Product. I have been a fan of Rodan & Fields skincare products for quite some time. The two female doctors who began the company have a great philosophy about being healthy inside and out. I keep their sunscreen on hand at all times. Especially for The Husband who wears the stuff year round. He is known to have a complete white clown face if I don't have him rub in his sunscreen. It's his "look" I guess.
I want you to have some sunscreen so you'll have no excuse! Keep it in your purse, your car, wherever, but use it! I have TWO Sunscreens for TWO readers.
Here's the description:
Formulated for all over the body use, ESSENTIALS Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body Sunscreen is a lightweight, non-sticky and non-greasy broad spectrum sunscreen.

"How should you strive to feel when working? Busy, but not rushed. Research shows this is when people are happiest. . . . . Helping others takes time but research shows it makes us feel like we have more time. And it makes us happier. Once you are more productive you'll have a lot more time to fill. So why not use them to make others and yourself happier?"
