In honor of all the Momma's out there

Don't you love the things Momma's say? The things they teach you, the little quirks and comments they have? 

I think the "beauty advice" of all the Momma's out there is especially amazing (although I'll always try to figure out what makes Mom's PB & J's so much better than my own, no matter how hard I try to perfect the PB to J chemistry). 

My Mom was, and still is, always a tomboy. She hates shopping, dressing up, lipstick, and high heels. She lives for camping, bird watching, and, well, anything with tomboy essence that steered from girliness, really (where the hell I came from, I'll never know).

Needless to say, Mom didn't teach me much about beauty.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I HAVEN'T ALREADY STARTED FORMULATING MY OWN "PASS IT DOWN" BEAUTY TRICKS TO MY FUTURE (MAYBE) CHILDREN!!

My #1 tip to all yall: WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY. 

Do you have any idea how important it is to ensure that you wear a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen every day, rain or shine? Also, did you know that WINDOWS do not protect you from the sun's rays- so, you're not pulling a one up on anyone but yourself by reading that intellectual piece of literature you just bought on the windowsill all day. 

Also, did you know that wearing sunscreen is one of the main ways to prevent aging (in addition to NOT SMOKING and drinking lots of water). 

Betcha didn't (or maybe you did). 

Stop being a bitch- go out and buy sunscreen. Buy a separate one for your face, which'll likely contain more "happy face" ingredients and will be less irritating (it'll prolly smell better, too!) 

It is, after all, already May. And we're certainly not getting any older. But, each day you go out without sunscreen you can think about that tinyyyy little crow's foot that's ever so slowly beginning to appear near your left eye..
