May is Melanoma Awareness Month – My Favorite Sunscreens

May 2, 2014

May is Melanoma Awareness Month.  This weekend my brother, my daughters and I will be walking in the AIM for a Cure Melanoma Walk here in Dallas.  This is the 10th year of the walk and our 4th year participating.  We’re walking in memory of our mom and grandma who was taken way too soon from this dreadful cancer.  If you’re interested in donating to help find a cure the link is at the bottom of this post.  Thanks so much in advance!!

The keys to survival from melanoma are prevention and early detection.  Be sure to schedule an appointment with your dermatologist for annual skin exams.  It’s important to do monthly skin checks at home as well.  Know the ABCDE signs to look for.  And wear for sunscreen to prevent sunburns and sun damage from ever happening and NEVER go in tanning beds!  I’m sharing some of my favorite sunscreen with you below.  These are some that I’ve actually been using for the past few years.


My Favorite Sunscreens:


Elta MD UV Shield Broad-Spectrum SPF 45
Broad spectrum formula for complete protection
Non-grease formula keeps skin feeling and looking clean
Contains Z-cote, a longer-lasting sun block
Protects against aging UVA and burning UVB sun rays
Can be used over or under makeup throughout the year




Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer with SPF 30
Accelerated Retinol Sa fades the look of stubborn wrinkles
Brightens skin tone
Smooth fine lines & texture
Fades the look of stubborn wrinkles
SPF 30




Purminerals CC Cream Broad-Spectrum SPF 40

I wear the medium shade and it’s a perfect match for my skin year round.

SPF 40 foundation and primer
Color-correcting brightener
Clarifying control cream
Anti-aging moisturizer

Beach vacation makeup is all about looking fresh, Beach vacation makeup is all about looking fresh, glowy, and effortless. ☀️🌴

*Let me know if you want DETAILS on what I used.*

Whether I’m spending days or nights by the water, I skip the heavy, full-coverage products and reach for lightweight favorites that let my skin breathe while still giving me that healthy, radiant glow.

Think: sheer coverage, a touch of bronzer, creamy blush, and plenty of luminosity. The goal isn’t a perfect makeup look—it’s looking like the best version of yourself while enjoying every minute of vacation.

Are you a full-face-on-vacation girl, or do you keep your makeup light and simple when you’re at the beach? Tell me below! ⬇️

We always have our favorite restaurants that we go We always have our favorite restaurants that we go to when we’re in Cabo. Toro is one of them and I finally started making my husband take a picture out front these last few years. Swipe to see the previous years and read the captions for each slide to see what I love about this restaurant… ➡️

(Separate picture captions is a new Instagram feature if you didn’t already know that)

I love that they have live music playing out on the patio almost every time we’re there. The band was exceptional this time. They played cover songs and sounded amazing.🎶

The food is excellent. I love that they have some vegetarian options. I always get their delicious beet salad. This time I also got the vegetarian empanadas and had a big scoop of mashed potatoes which were heavenly with crisped parmesan cheese on top.😋
My travel outfit requirements are comfy, put-toget My travel outfit requirements are comfy, put-together,  layered pieces that can easily be added or subtracted depending on the weather or air conditioning situation.

This outfit checked all the boxes for my flight to Cabo, brunch and a few hours of looking at real estate. 

@coldwatercreek has some great options for layering any time of year. And I must admit, I’m kind of obsessed with this linen jacket. I might need to add another color.😉
I’m going on vacation to Cabo, but I could also go I’m going on vacation to Cabo, but I could also go to a garden party, a bridal shower, date night or even wear this beautiful ruffle tiered dress to a summer wedding. Talk about versatile! I played it up with some fun colorful accessories too.
