Suntan

Well, its warm and humid here in the northeast USA and people are working on their suntan.  I’ve never been one for laying out in the sun, but getting outside is good for everyone.

My suntan develops simply from walking the dog.  It is good exercise and we do absorb vitamin D from the sunshine.  I also sit and brush the dog; it’s good for both of us

If you are going to work on your suntan, be sure to use proper sunscreen, and use moisturizer more often.  I don’t mow the lawn, but for those who do, remember its just like laying out by the beach – be careful not to get a sunburn!

A word of caution about the weather…

A suntan may be the goal, but the result could be a sunburn if you are not careful.  Sometimes the worst sunburns can happen on a cloudy day. (more…)

Almost Summer

Its almost summer – have you made any vacation plans?  Its not too late to book a last minute getaway.  Take advantage of last minute specials.  If you can’t get away this summer, make a homemade summer vacation in your yard.  Its about a state of mind.  Enjoy.  Relax.  Recharge your batteries.  Have Fun.  Be safe.  Wear sunscreen.

Every year it seems in the blink of an eye we go from shoveling snow to realizing:

Its almost summer!

Before it slips away, make plans to make the most of the season.  Kids are out of school and vacation destinations book up early.  But don’t just hurry and book the first great deal that comes your way.  Why not call a family meeting and ask everyone what they would like to do now that its almost summer?

Get the family calendar — I bet you’ll find it on the refrigerator — and plug in all the pre-scheduled events such as summer camp, vacation bible school, family reunions, and any other planned events.  (more…)
