Don't Fry Friday

Date When Celebrated: Friday before Memorial Day

Don't Fry Friday is a very important day for you and your skin. It occurs just as the Memorial holiday begins, and at the start of summer. At this time, sunshine is the most intense. People are seeking the sunshine and the great outdoors after a long winter. The purpose of today, is to educate people, and to make them aware of the dangers of overexposure to UVA and UVB rays. These UV rays come from the sun, and from popular tanning booths. They are the primary cause of skin cancer.

Very Important: Skin cancer is very treatable and curable, if caught early. Unfortunately, early detection does not always occur. If you have even the slightest suspicion, go get checked out by your doctor.... immediately.

A little sunshine is good for you. It provides important vitamin D, and sunshine brightens your mood. It's over exposure that damages your skin, and can result in skin cancer. There's a better way to get vitamin D, than from the sun. It is readily available as a vitamin supplement in pill form, usually along with Calcium.

Have a safe and happy summer. Follow the motto for skin cancer prevention: " Slip, Slop, Slap, and Wrap" This means slip on a shirt, slop on the suntan lotion (SPF 30 or higher), slap on a hat, and wrap on the sunglasses. Yes, UV rays can damage your eyes, too. In addition, it is recommended that people stay out of the sun during midday of summer, when these harmful UV rays are the most intence.

Did You Know? Over 3.5 million cases of skin non-melanomas are diagnosed each year. And, there are over 76,000 cases of skin melanoma a year, most of which are preventable.  Source: American Cancer Society

Amazon Blurb:  Love doesn’t live here, but no lie, Sunny wishes it did. In her eyes, love is the beautiful rise of each day and the seduction of the night. Unfortunately, Sunny has had her heart broken one too many times to believe she’ll find her life-changing, soul-shaking romance. Outgoing, with a sweet disposition, don’t get her misunderstood. She’s got a backbone and enough self-awareness to know finding herself takes precedence over who finds her. When she meets Wisdom, however, love is back on the brain and gunning for her heart. Wisdom doesn’t believe in love. Luckily, he had never fallen. A boss in the streets, he’s known as the Plug, and his only loyalty is to the Crip set he claims. As a man of few words, Wisdom is no-nonsense and never afraid to take action. Still, a drunken night ends with him giving a ray of sunshine a ride home and sparking a connection that has him reconsidering his stance on love and deciding to do anything to keep Sunny’s heart intact.
