Summer is Coming!!!

As most people are well aware, summer is just around the corner! Bring on the sun!

Summer is the best time of the year to spend time with friends and family on the water and to be enjoying the summer sun. Summer is a delightful time for people to take advantage of the warmer temperatures by spending more time outdoors during the summer. Activities such as traveling to the beach/river and picnics occur during summer months are perfect to do during the warmer months.

During the summer, I love to make myself a bucket-list of what I would like to do during the summer days. By the end of the summer, once I have ticked off most of the activities on my bucket-list, I could easily say that it was an awesome and fulfilling summer. 

Here is an idea for a bucket-list this summer or you can create your own by printing out this image.

 Here are a couple of facts about summer;

1. When it is summer in the Southern, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
2. Summer is the hottest of the four seasons, it occurs between Spring and Autumn.
3. Summer occurs because of the way the earth is tilted toward the sun. The hemisphere that is tilted in the direction of the sun experiences Summer and the hemisphere that is tilted away from the sun experiences Winter.

Summer is also the perfect way to show off your style and a way for you to express who you are. Listed below are a couple of links and stores that are the best to help out with your summer style;

 Summer Safety

Yes.... this is a style blog not a safety blog but I feel like everyone needs to know this and take note because it's not nice to become ill because of the fun but unsafe times during summer.

Heat-related illness happens when the body’s temperature control system is overloaded. Babies and children up to 4 years of age are at biggest risk. Even young and healthy people can get sick from the heat if they participate in exhausting physical activities during hot weather. For heat-related illness, the best defense is prevention

• Never leave infants, children, or pets in a parked car, even if the windows are cracked open.
• Dress infants and children in loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Schedule outdoor activities carefully, for morning and evening hours.
• Stay cool with cool showers or baths.
• Seek medical care immediate if your child has symptoms of heat-related illness.

Just a few serious sunburns can increase you and your  risk of skin cancer later in life. The skin needs to be protected from the sun's harmful UV rays whenever you're outdoors.

• Cover up. Clothing that covers your skin helps protect against UV rays.
• Use sunscreen with at least SPF (sun protection factor) 15 and UVA (ultraviolet A) and UVB (ultraviolet B) protection every time you and your child go outside.

The risk for skin cancer is high during the summer months because of the suns ultraviolet (UV) radiation and it is the major cause of skin cancer.
