It’s that time of year—spring is in the air so it’s time to talk about sunscreen. Of course, I want to focus on SAFE and CLEAN sunscreen for everyone. As you get warmed up for brighter days, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays. Remember, I am a skin cancer patient, so I am speaking from experience on this.

Be Sun Safe and Stylish this Spring Break
It’s time to think about spring break!

Some of you know I have skin cancer, and I have to be very careful when I’m out in the sun. This is why I am always on the hunt for stylish UPF clothing, and one of my favorite brands is Cabana Life. I’m excited to share my collaboration with this awesome company.

What’s In My “Go” Bag: Everyday Essentials
We all have our everyday essentials that we cannot be without, no matter where we go—from parks and beaches to running errands and hanging out with friends. Whatever I do, I always keep my health and skin in mind, which is why I cannot be without sun protective gear such as sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. It’s important to protect your skin no matter the season (I switch up my hats once the seasons change, of course!) Some friends have asked me what my favorite goodies are that I always carry around with me, so here’s a peek inside my bag.

Safe Sunscreen Is Your Summer and Life Essential
Sunscreen, sunscreen and more sunscreen. Yes, I am crazy about sunscreen!
For those who know me probably know that I have skin cancer, so wearing sunscreen is a must for me! All day, every day—no matter if you’re just out running errands, taking a walk outside, heading to the park with your kids, or going to the pool or the beach. Putting on sunscreen is second nature to me and my children—I don’t leave my house without it!
Now you may be saying to yourself, “I am all for sunscreen, but I just hate how it’s sticky and leaves white residue behind. Plus, it doesn’t work well under makeup.” If that’s your concern, then I have just the solution you’re looking for.
