Stop Tanning!
I had plans for a different post today but I felt I needed to share this video. It’s quick and easy to watch. Please share it with any young person who spends time out in the sun. As a kid, I spent hours in the hot California sun lathered in baby oil. This weekend my […]

If you missed yesterday’s post, here is Part 1.
