Summer is officially here!
Let's see how we are doing in regards to being safe in the sun
1. Do you wear sunscreen daily? Or just when hitting the sun chair?
2. Is getting a tan a high priority for you?
3. What SPF (if any) do you use?
4. Have you ever suffered from bad sunburn/heatstroke? What did you do about it?
Here's a 'Sun Safety' quiz to take

1. Do you wear sunscreen daily? Or just when hitting the sun chair?
I have to admit to not being great about using sunscreen. I know that living down here I should be more vigilant about using it. When I go to the beach/boating etc...I am getting better about remembering to at least re-apply every couple of hours. And remembering those *forgotten* places-- neck and ears ;-)
2. Is getting a tan a high priority for you?
I like having some sort of a tan, not necessarily dark/dark, but some color is nice (and healthy looking, I think). The problem for me is that I don't have the patience to sit there and soak it up for long. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing!!
3. What SPF (if any) do you use?
I have been known to hit the beach with a *gasp* 10!! Lately I've been out there with the minimum of 15, putting up to 45 on my -I burn here- area's.
4. Have you ever suffered from bad sunburn/heatstroke? What did you do about it?
Yup! Sunburn! I remember when I was in FL one year I got badly burned on the backs of my legs. Ouch-- it was sore to walk-- you know that tender area of behind the knees!! I don't remember what my exact plan of attack was, but it probably included staying out of the sun, lol- and LOTS of aftersun.

well, I got 8 out of 9, but my knowledge doesn't necessarily translate into good habits unfortnately.
1. Do you wear sunscreen daily? Or just when hitting the sun chair? Just when I know I'll be out in the sun for a while, and I didn't even do that on Memorial Day. I also don't re-apply like I should.
2. Is getting a tan a high priority for you? It would take me forever to build up a tan, fair skin. I don't burn too easily, but I don't tan either. I use the fake stuff, like the Coppertone moisturizer/self tanner
1. Do you wear sunscreen daily? Or just when hitting the sun chair?
15 on my face every day, contained in my moisturizer...but nothing else on a daily basis.
2. Is getting a tan a high priority for you?
I do enjoy tanning, but it's not a high priority for me.
Ohmigosh, IG, I'm feeling very, very guilty right now.

With all the 'out & about' stuff you do I'm surprised you're not more of a sunfactor girl! Even with that booth tan you need sunscreen Missy!
(I'm one to talk, lol!!)
