Hello Summer!
Now that we are going out again ( isn't it wonderful?), it's time to get out of the yoga pants when you are not doing yoga or working out and wear a maxi, midi or mini dress, your white jeans, or a jumpsuit and put on your face. Here are a few Memorial Day sales to help you shop!

Memorial Day brings loads of other sales- appliances, furniture, mattresses, technology. I've just highlighted some fashion and beauty for you. Online sites like Rebecca Minkoff, Tory Burch, Johnny Was, Kate Spade and more will surely have good sales, too. If you've been lusting after something, check it out now.While sometimes on the pricier side, Neimans and Saks have fabulous sales and this is a great time to get quality fashion at great prices. But remember, just because it's on sale if it doesn't really fit ( and you are not prepared to alter it) or you have nothing to wear it with and it ends up just sitting in your closet - it's no bargain. Shop smart.
Now is the time, if you haven't already, to whip out that sunscreen everyday! May was National Cancer Awareness Month. I recommend (and I'm backed up by Derms all over) you get an annual skin scan with a dermatologist if you haven't already. The climate is changing and our summer weather seems to be warmer and sunnier than ever. The sun is the #1 cause of wrinkles, dark spots and skin cancer. It is a huge myth that if it's not sunny you don't have to worry about UV rays. No matter what the season, weather or amount of time you are outside, applying SPF is essential if you care about preventing or minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. You need to have a SPF of 30 or higher in your skin care regimen. With so many moisturizers, skin tints, foundations, tinted facial sunscreen products- there's no excuse. And don't forget your hands that are also prone to wrinkling and sun damage ( especially when driving or sitting in a window). Use a product like Supergoop Handscreen SPF40 or Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-on Shield or your favorite mineral sunscreen.
Finally, I had some feedback on my binging recommendations and was asked for more- We never watched Ray Donovan and are loving it now. It's many seasons and may lose it's luster, but for now I look forward every night, especially while waiting for Billions to return. If you haven't started it yet- try Billions now. We enjoyed 2 quirky mysteries, The Night Watchman ( with Taylor Swift's ex, Tom Hiddleston) and Manhunt, the 1st season on Netflix. An American Playboy about Hugh Hefner was an interesting show about the man and the evolution of Playboy and the times. If nothing else, Covid gave us the pastime of binge watching together.
