{tucks set}- all Cabana Life is c/o

Growing up in Florida we were practically raised at the beach and the pool.  I am not complaining, those places are my happy spots.  I can still hear my dad hollering before I left for the beach in high school – “the rules are: 1 don’t trust boys and 2 wear sunscreen”.  I didn’t always listen.  to either rule.  oops!  But now I have lots of crows feet, freckles, and sun spots to show for them.  My mother has always taught us that aging is nothing to be afraid of, and so with all of my might, I hold onto that.  I truly believe “the wrinkles go where the smiles have been”.  But! she’s also taught us to be proactive about our health and is especially passionate about skin.  I drove my mother crazy in high school and college with how brown I would get.  But toward the end realized how damaging and deadly too much sun can be.  So it was fake tans (these are my favorites) and lathering sunscreen routinely for me from then on.  But!  I had no idea about my clothes, I just figured where I was covered up, I was good to go.  The average t-shirt is only an SPF of 5.  crazy!  So I loved when I discovered Cabana Life a few years ago because all of their items have high UPF (UV protection factors).  May is Skin Cancer Awareness month – which is a great time to learn about how you can protect your skin, and schedule that dermatologist appointment you may have been putting off (guilty!).  Cabana Life is teaming up with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) with their new rashguards – 100% of the proceeds will go to SU2C and melanoma research.  Show your support and use the hashtag #PROTECTyourskin

If you have been eyeing something in their collection you are in luck – until the end of May you can get 20% with code ST20!  Stay sun safe this summer!!  and as my dad still says to me any time he knows I’ll be out in the sun (though he’s dropped the don’t trust boys bit) …
“WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!!”
