Earth Month Tip #2: Sunscreen!

Today's environmental tip: Protect yourself from sun overexposure! In summer, always apply sun block SPF 15 or more to protect your skin from solar UV radiation. Just five or more sunburns can really increase your risk of developing skin cancer. The sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. so at the times, seek shade or wear protective clothing such as a long-sleeved shirt.


P.S. I've also read several places that eating a variety of colorful fruits and veg can help your body naturally protect you against UV & sun damage. Eat up!

My people towel came in!! Love it! I've been using to dry hands all morning. :-)

Now, I need to get some of those reusable produce bags.

I know! I used my PeopleTowels all last week and weekend (post to come!). They are so cute and handy. The produce bags have been an amazing $5 investment! They make bulk bin shopping a zero waste experience, which is awesome!
