sunshine

i know this is the opposite of my last post BUT everyone needs a little sunshine :]
and thats why i drove down to ARIZONA!! ah the weather was great! especially since it rained all weekend in provo.
i love my family! they are best examples, support, and reasons for laughing that i could possibly ask for!
we went to red robin with some of the fam and celebrated keli's early bday!
i also love that this boy is home!
my bestest bud all growing up. we played catch, had picnics in the park, made jumps for our bikes, caught wild animals, went fishing, and climbed trees. he accepted me as my chubby little boy self. haha we had some good times! do we look any different now?!i am so proud of talmage and amazed at the man he has become! i'm so glad we can still be such good friends!
life is good and i am loving school! i'm super stoked for the vegas skin show in a couple weeks. then i will be heading to az again for a little break!

A skin secret.

Most of you know that I'm in aesthetician school right now and halfway done!
My fam is always asking for tips on healthier skin or whats the best brand of this and that. So I thought I would give a few tips every once in a while! I'm no professional (yet) so don't go quoting me on all of it, but I am being well-trained and have some great knowledge to share!
The first secret to younger, healthy skin isn't really a secret. Its called using SUNSCREEN. Now come the questions of what kind?
There are a bajillion brands and types out there.
But its more the INGREDIENTS.
Look for
-zinc oxide
-titanium dioxide
-FULL spectrum coverage (not broad)
-SPF of no more than 35 (after that it is called a CHEMICAL sunscreen which causes burning)
-Avoid fragrances and parabens
I haven't discovered all the best brands yet but just keep those few hints in mind!
Re-apply at least every 2 hours!!
So this summer have fun in the sun, but do it right! :]
