we did it!

Well, we all made it through our term... some of us are done, some of us will graduate at the end of this term, and a few more will graduate with me the end of the next... and of course there are those who are where we once found ourselves- just starting out and totally confused wondering what did we get ourselves into!

In my part of the country, we have been hitting the upper 80s and lower 90s with high dew points and humidity. The sun has been out, and rain has been scare right around here. Remember that sunscreen!! Don't wait until  you go outside to remember it- for optimum protection, slather it on well, give it some time to activate and pace yourself if you are doing some work outside. If you have a choice- first thing in the morning or late in the evening is best. Those suns' rays are strong and our skins aren't made to be burned. 

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate...and alcoholic beverages and those with caffeine are not the best choice. Instead of plumping up your skin and filling your cells with life-giving fluids, they act as a diuretic, starving your skin and robbing your body or moisture.  I found one that is really refreshing- thin slices of cucumber in your water. Yum..

Eat light, well balanced meals and enjoy the summer as best as you can.. can't let the bunnies and squirrels have all the fun.

happy summer!
