Quick Holiday PSA

I won’t bother with posting a super-awesome post today because I hope most of you are lounging poolside on this long holiday weekend (at least, I hope you are).

Instead, I will remind you to slather up with the highest-SPF sunscreen you can find. Ears, eyelids, foreheads, hairlines, backs of legs, and feet are commonly neglected body parts… so don’t forget!

And I’ve got proof that even old, expired sunscreen works.

Sunburned Arm

Nothing says “patriotic” like a red and white arm (with a blue bikini, no less!).

(Apparently, my lower arm didn’t get the memo that I was “only going outside for 15 minutes” and probably “only really needed to SPF my shoulders.” Wrong!)

Best wishes for a safe (and happy and healthy!) Fifth of July!
