It's Still Summer, and Your Skin Still Needs Protection by Brandie Bates

Brandie Bates is a local Mary Kay consultant and contributing guest blogger, and strives to help her clients have the most beautiful skin.  Skin care is her specialty, and because she understands the science behind the incredible formulas that are specific to Mary Kay, she's able to help you as time marches on, but keeping your skin looking youthful.

As summer is coming to an end, and this new school-at-home time commences, we still need to get outside and have family recess!  The sun doesn't stop just because school starts.  With homeschooling, you might find yourself working in the backyard in the cool of your patio, while your kids are doing homework in the yard.

Whatever you may be doing, you need protection from the sun.  You need Mary Kay’s line of  sun care products.

When you’re outside, you need all-over body protection, and Mary Kay Suncare SPF 50 Sunscreen is everything you need.  This amazing sunscreen absorbs so quickly, leaving your skin soft and moisturized.  If you have dry or sensitive skin, you can blend this with your regular moisturizer to add extra protection and moisture. 

With up to eighty minutes of wear that is water- and sweat-resistant, you’ll be able to get things done and not have to reapply it so often.  It’s a great time saver, and your kids won’t complain when they have to stop running through the sprinkler every half hour, which, when home-schooling, means that recess in September is just as much fun as being home on a Tuesday afternoon during summer vacation.

Another fabulous product for those who love the sun is Mary Kay’s Sun Care Lip Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 15.  Perfect for every season, it provides moisture for your lips and great protection from the sun.  Best yet, it’s fragrance free, so those with even the most sensitive lips can wear it with no problems.  Applying it to your kids' lips will be so much easier, and bonus, no chapped lips.

For the crazy days when you do forget to grab the sunscreen on those day trips for education, there’s cooling, refreshing relief in the form of Mary Kay’s Sun Replenishing Gel.  Non-sticky, it goes on like a lotion and moisturizes and heals your sunburnt skin.  Its light scent is perfect for anyone to use.  Best of all, it just feels so good on your hot skin.

Finally, for the moms who want the sun-kissed look without being in the sun, or going to a tanning bed, there is a perfect product from Mary Kay, called Subtle Tanning Lotion.  It gives skin the moisture it craves while subtly enhancing its natural tone for a healthy glow, and no dreaded streaks and blotches.  When used daily, you can build the perfect color in about a week.  The divine scent is a luscious coconut/honeysuckle fragrance.  It's perfect to use all year long, especially when you are looking to have a momentary escape to your favorite beaches when meditating.  Let's face it, with kids homeschooling, and you working from home, you'll be able to enjoy a few moments at your own private beach and come back with a tan!

As you can see, Mary Kay's line of sun care products are perfect for any time of year.

Above my desk

I'm a huge believer in using the Law of Attraction (LOA), positive affirmations, and meditation in my daily life.

Recently, I started taking my favorite quotes and making my own printable memes to hang up on my walls in my office.  I switch them out every couple of weeks.

I've had EGBOK:  Everything's gonna be OK.
I've had Recognition is the greatest motivator.
I've had It will never rain roses.  When we want to have more roses, we must plant roses. 
And Be the energy you want to attract.

This is what I currently have on my wall:

I printed out the one that reads "I am meant for this" last week.  I can't even remember why it struck me so poignantly, that I had to print it.  I was looking at it this morning as I stood there, drinking my coffee and getting ready for what seemed like the millionth Zoom meeting since March.

I said it out loud, like so:  I am meant for this.

Wow, whatever "this" is, I'm meant for it.

I am meant for this.  The word "am" is a conjugation of the word, "to be".  As in "I exist for this moment".

I am meant for this. In this sentence, "meant" conveys "to have in mind one's purpose or intention."  As in "This was the purpose all along, and it has to do with me".

I am meant for this.  In this, the emphasis is "to obtain, gain, or acquire".  As in, "This is something I am supposed to gain from". (not the quarantine 15, though.  Not that!)

I am meant for this.  The word "this" pertains to indicate a person, thing, idea, state, event, time, remark, etc., as present, near, just mentioned or pointed out, supposed to be understood, or by way of emphasis.  As in, This is the exact TIME that I'm supposed to be here.

Where do you put emphasis on your life?

Bee in love with the heartwork of your life.
