Here Comes The Sun

You might think you’re good to go if you apply sunscreen at the beginning of the day, but researchers found that most Americans are putting on too thin a layer of sunscreen to be really effective. The solution? Use a higher SPF sunscreen to make sure you’re 100 percent covered. [The Guardian]

Savor Each Bite

Cheerio!

Lime Feelin’ Great

Not sure how to store your citrus fruits in the heat of the summer? Keep them at their freshest by keeping them in a dry place like the vegetable bin in your fridge, rotate them frequently and don’t cover them with plastic wrap, which prevents the fruits from breathing. [Swirled]
