Merry Saturday, everyone! I hope everyone had a great week and is ready to have an even better weekend.
Since summer is upon us, especially here in Phoenix, don't forget to do some important things everyday!
#1 Drink LOTS of water. Sure, an ice cold soda on a very hot day is great, but water is SO important to keep you're body looking and feeling hydrated.
#2 Wear sunBLOCK! Sunscreen is great, but there is a difference. Hence, the different names. Make sure you put it on at least 15 minutes BEFORE you go outside or get in the pool. And, make sure you reapply according to the SPF on the bottle. Some people may not know that the SPF number is how many minutes the lotion works.
#3 Take care of your hair, too. There are a number of ways to protect your hair from sun and chlorine damage. You can wet your hair with regular water and that should keep the chlorine from soaking in too fast. You can also spray a leave in conditioner and comb it through your hair. And it's important to also rinse your hair after you leave the pool. That should help get the chlorine out.
#4 Pay close attention to kids and pets, since they're probably not sure what cues to listen to with their bodies. Well....and pets can't talk. Little kids especially will keep playing until they drop. Hats and sunglasses are a great way to protect the kiddos.
WOW....that's the longest blog yet. I hope the truly simple tips help you all have a safe and fun summer!
