Fun in the Sun

With Memorial Day weekend upon us, we're all happy to get an extra day to relax and chill out while catching some rays with the ones we love. We know you will treat yourself well this weekend with a few laughs and some good times, so let's make sure that you're treating your skin appropriately as well. Web MD is here to help you with their consumer report ranking the best sunscreen products on the market.

ECO sunscreen is the best buy on the market and you are sure to get your money's worth.

And if you don't have any plans this weekend and are wondering how to soak up the sun, don't worry we got you covered. Here are some quality Memorial Day weekend activities:

The smell of a barbeque is synonymous with Memorial Day

1. BARBEQUE! Nothing says Memorial Day weekend like a classic barbeque with friends and family. Whether it be in your backyard or the local park, make sure to apply some sunscreen before you get on the grill. My tip for a good barbeque: always include the option of chilli on your hot dogs. You can't go wrong with ketchup and mustard but chilli is an excellent addition as well. But as long as you have some good company your day is sure to be worth while. Just make sure they put on some sunscreen as well.

You can't beat baseball and America

2. Catch a ball game. Baseball is America's past-time and it's a great way to spend your Memorial Day. Bring some friends or family and grab a beer and a dog and watch some quality baseball. If you can't get tickets for your favorite MLB team, go see the local minor league team in your area. Those games are always a blast and will have you laughing in your seat in between innings with their fun and quirky promotions and giveaways. Just be sure to lather up the sunscreen every 3 innings or so.



3. Take a swim. Head to your local beach, lake, or pool and relax in the water. It is sure to be a hot one this weekend and there is nothing like jumping in the water when the sun has got you beat. It is sure to provide some great scenery as well as good fun. Apply sunscreen before you go and then every 2 hours as well as after you jump in the water.

Mini Golf is always good for some laughs and a good time.

4. Try your luck with some mini-golf. Putt-Putt is a great way to enjoy the sun while having some fun. It is also one of my favorite places to take a date. Its a relaxing and unique environment that can see you go from Jack Nicklaus on one hole to a total disaster on the next. Before you line up your first put, put on sunscreen on all exposed areas of your skin. And then depending on how good or bad you are, you might need to put on another layer if you just can't seem to figure out that tricky 9th green. My advice to you: Find your happy place, a la Happy Gilmore.

5. Listen to some tunes. Music is a great way to interact and share a day with friends and family. Look up some local outdoor venues that are having concerts and enjoy some good music. Don't be afraid to experience some music you never heard before, but do be weary of the sun. Bring sunscreen to the concert and be sure to watch out for your skin.

We hope you have a great Memorial Day. Check out our products in the store and be sure to take care of your skin this weekend. Thanks for reading.
