Skin Cancer is no fun!



I had a mole on my head a little over 4 years ago and went to a dermatologist because it grew and was pink. The Dr. removed it and said things were fine but then I got a call saying I had basal cell skin cancer. I ended up having Mohs micrographic surgery to make sure that all the cancer was removed. I think this happened to me because I was moving to California and needed a reminder to wear SPF every time I went into the sun. I just wanted to write today to get my blog up and running again and to remind people that it's important to wear sunscreen even in the fall, winter, and spring. Today I went to buy a daily moisture lotion with SPF in it and found that there weren't a lot of options. I went with the Lubriderm because it doesn't have much of a scent and it's not too oily at all. I wish that there were more lotions with SPF in them, I'm sure there will be more one day. So don't forget to lather up this fall! And stay away from tanning beds!! Lots of love! <3

  1. Great post here! This is something that everyone has to keep in mind-all year long-no matter where you live. I love how most makeup foundations now have SPF in them.
    Again, great point to make in your blog. I hope you will re-post this in the winter as another reminder!! Spread the world around as much as possible!
