Sunscreen?

Just when you think you've got almost everything accounted for - SUMMER-LIKE weather strikes! I work outside about 4-5 hours a day under the Vegas sun, so it's imperative that I wear a good sunscreen during the sunny months. So, when the weather suddenly took a turn to the 80's - I reached for the sunscreen I had on hand...BANANA BOAT? Uh oh.

There weren't any testing-free sunscreens at the local chains, so we visited our trusty Trader Joe's. Sure enough, they carry a house brand of suncreen with 30 SPF - but only in 4 oz. bottles, and it's a little pricey. It seems to work OK - I still managed to get some color but I didn't burn. I find that I need to reapply more often than with other brands.

Not perfect, but great in a pinch!
