☀️ Summer Skin Safety: Protect Your Glow All Season Long ☀️ Whether you're on a walk, at a weekend BBQ, or commuting to work — sun safety matters. ☀️ Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and protecting it is a key part of overall wellness. Here’s how to stay safe in the sun:

🧴 Use Sunscreen Daily
Choose broad-spectrum SPF 15 or higher — and reapply at least every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming. Don't forget your ears and neck! Also, remember to show your lips some love with SPF lip balm.

🕶️ Wear Sunglasses & Protective Clothing
Look for sunglasses that block 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays. Hats and long sleeves help, too!

⏰ Avoid Peak Sun Hours
When possible, limit exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are strongest.

💧 Stay Hydrated
Your skin loves water — keep it nourished from the inside out!

⚽☀️ Summer Sports Season: Stay Healthy On the Go! ⚾🏃‍♀️

Summer sports = packed schedules, road trips, and cheering from the sidelines — but your family's health doesn't have to take a timeout! 🥗💧

Here are 5 quick tips to keep your squad fueled, fit, and feeling good all season long:

1️⃣ Prep Smart Snacks
Think fruit, trail mix, or protein-packed wraps — quick to grab, easy to digest, and no sugar crashes. 🍌🥜

2️⃣ Hydrate Like a Pro
Water > sports drinks (most of the time). Keep a reusable bottle handy and refill often! 💦

3️⃣ Stretch & Move
Parents: join in the warm-ups! Quick stretches or a walk around the field keeps everyone loose and energized. 🧘‍♂️👟

4️⃣ Prioritize Sleep
Early games = earlier bedtimes. Try to keep a consistent sleep routine, even on travel days. 😴

5️⃣ Make Time for Mental Health
Downtime matters. Check in with your kids and yourself. A calm mind supports a strong body. 🧠💚

Being “on the go” doesn't mean putting wellness on the bench. Small habits = big wins. 💪
