Fresh blueberries are readily available at this time of year. I put some in my yogurt and it's a healthy snack!
Now that the warm weather is here, I came across this booklet on sun safety. It says most people don't use enough sunscreen, especially fair-skinned people. It recommends a teaspoon of sunscreen for your face and 30 mls, 2 tablespoons for the rest of your body. One palmful for each arm and one for each leg. You want to apply the sunscreen 20 or 30 minutes before going outside, and re-apply every 2 hours after. Go here for more tips and to take a sun safety quiz.

I slather sunscreen on every day, even in the winter. It's a pain and often ends up burning my eyes but it makes a difference! This is good advice. Thanks for spreading the word.

I have a habit of not wearing sunscreen when I need to!
wow, I'm not using near enough!
I use sunscreen on my face every day, on my arms if I'm wearing short sleeves, and on my legs if I'm going to be outside more than ten minutes in the middle of the day. I should do it more, but I've never found one that doesn't have a greasy feeling
I'll read the instructions again when summer comes back - it's like November today! Blueberries are yummy! Valerie
Since I am indoors most of the time, I never use sun screen. But, it's important to use it at the beach.
I just use the spray-on stuff
