Some Link Love and Sunscreen Advice

With a holiday weekend upon us, don’t forget the sunscreen! As I’ve gotten older, and more wrinkled / freckled, I’ve realized I not only have to increase my SPF, but I need to wear a hat as well. Some fun in the sun advice for staying UV-Free (sort of)

1. Apply sunscreen SPF 30 (minimum) liberally before exposing body parts to sun
2. Continue applying sunscreen, especially if swimming, running, sweating, etc. throughout the day
3. Wear a long-sleeved, light weight shirt during peak hours (12-3 pm)
4. Wear a wide-brimmed hat – minimize those wrinkles (and freckles if you are on the pale side like yours truly)
5. Don’t forget your feet, or neck, or ears, or back, or back of the legs….all those hard to reach spots need to be taken care of and accomplished by asking for help!

And now, some link love…..here is just a smattering of useful articles:

• Wealth Pilgrim with How Much Can I Afford For a House Checklist : Everyone can use this! I love calculating figures and facts then basing that data on actual purchasing power. Neal definitely defines how much house one should purchase.
• Ultimate Money Blog with Save Money on Toilet Paper. Mrs. Money is quite the uber-green gal. Some of her tips are great, but I’m just not ready for cloth toilet paper…ew.
• Money Reasons with Why You Shouldn’t Keep Your Money Hidden At Home. Some great tips and reasons the bank is a better place for large stashes of cash….paper is highly flammable!
• Couple Money with I Will Teach Your to Be Rich Review. I’ve browsed Ramit’s blog before, but never delved into it myself. The book review inspired me to do a little more research on this topic.

Have a safe, fun-filled, sunburn-free Independence Day!
