Its been said many times and more others proven that to go in the sun without pretection can cause you some serious skin damage.

The UV rays can harm your skin in just minutes even when you can't see, but you'll get to feel it later. Thats why here are some tips:

·        Try to put on sunscreen before you go outside to get full protection. And remember to reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are in water.

·        Always use a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher. The higher the SPF number, the higher the protection.

·        Put a thicker layer of sunscreen on the most exposed body parts: arms, legs, neck, back and face.

·        Protect your lips with sunscreen lip balm.

·        Avoid using sunscreen on babies younger than six months—use hats, clothing and shade for protection.

·        Think about using cosmetics that contain sunscreen. Even these should be at least SPF 15.

·        Choose a broad spectrum of products that guard against the sun's ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

Other ways to protect yourself include:

·        Clothing: Shirts and pants made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection.

·        Hats: To get the most protection, wear a hat with a brim that shades the face, ears and back of your neck.

·        Sunglasses: They protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays and lower cataract risks.

·        Shade: Get under an umbrella, tree or anywhere else with shade.

Getting sunburned or tanned could be a red flag about your skin's health. When you're in the sun, make sure to slather on some sunscreen and reapply after being out for more than two hours to keep beauty—and your health—skin deep.

It is true that the best gifts are the ones that are sincere and unexpensive, most of the best things in life are so simple but so important for the well being such as air, sun and time... and most importantly they are FREE. 

Since we are talking about a celebration as Father's Day we always want to go beyond to show that person we love them and we thought of them but then again what to give to a man who has everything he wants? With mother's is more simple like flowers or cards but with fathers it can be tricky sometimes.

For Fathers Day We can also keep it simple, it doesn't always need to be a hassle, many times we don't realize that men are simpler than women. Always go for what they like but then again if you have given something they like in yrs prior how many times can you repeat this over and over right? so here are some inexpensive and thoughtful ideas for father's day.

Make a Coupon Book. Maybe there are many things he would like to do with his time but since hes taking care of other things he really doesnt find time to.

Think about giving him maybe 10-15 coupons offering your services or activities maybe he does need a partner in crime. They can include maybe washing the car, going to the movies w him, going to eat steak, or even giving him 1-2 hrs free while you are doing something for him so he can watch some T.V. This is easy and you get to realize and get to know your father better, the list of things can be wide.

Homemade Treats: Tasty home-baked goods make fool-proof gifts. Whip up a cobbler or pie with luscious local summer fruit. If your dad is trying to eat more healthfully, encourage him by preparing a recipe that incorporates whole grains and goes easy on the sugar. For a more long-lasting gift, prepare some pickles or a homemade jam .

Old Photos Can Be Fun (and Embarrassing). Surely in a closet somewhere are some old photos of the family at play. Find the box (or boxes) and bring them out on Father's Day. Pass them around and ask Dad what he remembers about the experience in the photo. This is guaranteed to generate both laughs and tears. And it will help you connect with the "old man." And remember, no snickers about his hair, his clothes, or those funky sideburns!

Beyond the Gym: Many dad-types I know are constantly trying to stay in shape or shape up. Why not turn introduce your dad to a new form of exercise? Trying a new form of physical activity can be deeply rewarding, even if it doesn't 'stick' or become your dad's go-to work-out. It's kind of like eating cereal with your non-dominant hand -- a great way to engage your brain. You could set your dad up with a private lesson at a his local yoga studio or a pack of beginner's classes or even an instructional dvd. He might be particularly tickled if the sport in question sounds somewhat obscure -- like gyrotonic or tai chi. If those sounds a bit posh for your dad's taste maybe give him a badminton or petanque set instead.

Long Distance. If you aren't at home or near enough to make a personal visit on Father's Day, consider some ways to narrow the distance. Instead of a card, how about a letter sharing your feelings and memories about your dad? Could you make a picture collage of some of your favorite dad times? How about a long and chatty phone call? You can still give of yourself, even if the miles and the time zones might separate you.

Everyone knows that this weekend is one of the busiest weekends for traveling. Second only to the Fourth of July holiday, Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest for car travel. 

The more traveling it also means the more accidents that can occur. Knowing full well what comes along with the traditional summer season kick-off celebration, law enforcement, AAA and first responders will be out in full swing statewide. In the state of New York they always launch programs for this weekend, more police men and women go to the streets to try to stop drunk drivers and check seat beats.
