Sunscreen Stars 2015

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and it’s Memorial Day weekend, (yay!) so it only seems right that I publish my 3rd annual Sunscreen Stars post today.  (Read my others here, here, here, here and here.)  This is my favorite post of the year, every year.  I love the sun; I kind of worship it, actually.  I think a little…

What Mom Really Wants

It’s that time of year again…  Are you ready to put on a bathing suit?  What does your skin look like?  Dimply?  Dry?  Dull?  Congested?  Let’s fix that. What if I told you that you could reduce your cellulite and improve your overall health for a one-time fee of approximately $20?  It may sound like a cheesy…
