Vacation

This past weekend my sister and I drove up with Shawn [real dad] and Brooke [step mom] to Brooke's  lake house in Pickwick, Tn. and had a blast! My first thought when we pulled up to the pier was "I need to learn to higher my expectations." I mean yachts, sail boats, even one boat that looked like a small cruise ship all on this pier our boat was on. So we loaded up on our boat and set sail on the biggest lake I've ever been on. We swam and wake boarded, skied and my personal fave TUBED! It was the recipe for a perfect summer weekend.


But OH MY SUNBURN!
Okay, there is nothing uglier than skin cancer, so I am usually the first one drenching myself in sunblock! Don't get me wrong I did, butttttt apparently the 30 sport spray I used on the boat Saturday was not and is NOT waterproof. :( I usually don't burn so when I do I'm a pretty big baby about it, haha. My face burned pretty badly and I honestly never knew how often I used my eyebrows until now. Yikes >:[
So the moral of my weekend is, reapply reapply reapply. Flippin reapply.
Because being red is not cute.


(My sun burnt knees yuck)



The sun speeds the aging process, causing wrinkles, sun spots, and freckles. Not to mention it is cancerous.

Sun Tips;
-Always always always wear sunscreen. You don't like sunscreen on your face? Find a make up with SPF.
-Your scalp is skin too, and they do have sunscreen for it. I think that is messy and disgusting. So wear a hat or pull your hair back in a ponytail. If you wear your hair down you could be burned and that could result in pain or flaky skin (gross)
-Wear sunglasses that block UV's. Seriously, cheap walmart sunglasses dialate your eyes and don't block the UV rays which could be very dangerous and cause cataracts in later years.



Play smart this summer and wear sunscreen pleeeeeease :)
