It’s time to think about spring break!
As I sit here on snow day number three in Connecticut, I’m looking forward to lots of sunshine and beach time on our spring break in Florida.
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.
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.
Go biking, hiking, running, picnic-ing, swimming, boating, and all the other -ings out there that you love to do. Have fun in the sun but remember to always protect your skin!
Dealing with skin cancer is challenging. I have to take extra precautions to make sure I’m protecting my skin as much as possible since I live at the beach, so I am ALWAYS surrounded by sunshine. That’s why I wear sun protective clothing on top of sunscreen when I know I’ll be out in the sun for a long period of time. I wish I had done this a long time ago when most of the sun damage was done to my skin.
Clothing is the single most effective form of sun protection for the body, but you shouldn’t rely on just any clothing, because regular clothing only protects you from 1/15 of the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. So if you’re planning on going to the beach for the whole day, taking a long hike, riding your bike for miles, or any other outdoor activity, then opting for sun protective clothing will provide you with the right amount of added protection. And it doesn’t mean you have to look like grandma either ;). There are so many fun brands out there that are chic and modern.
