Beat the Heat



BEAT THE HEAT
My daughter and I on one of the record breaking days of Summer  2012 so far. Largo, MD 

People are quick to assume because I was born in the summer ( summer baby) that the season doesn't fade me. They are wrong that is the furthest from the truth ...... actually it BURNS! I  have extremely sensitive skin that has to be especially protected from the sun. It's a Meth that African American or brown skinned people of color don't get sunburn. I have a variety of ways people of all colors and shades can protect their skin and Beat the Heat  while on the go and expressing fashion freedom in the blazing sun. 

Have you ever seen photos of people on the beach with the white paste sun lotion on there nose?....
Protective but not so attractive. 



Sun Screen, spays and lotion is very important and preventive. Not only is sunburn unattractive it HURTS!!!

takes a picture of herself while sunburned tan leaving light rings around her eyes from her shades. 




"As far as treating sunburns are concerned, prevention is the best cure, as treatment may take a longer period in completely getting rid of it. Most of the sunburns are first degree burns that are the affected skin is only red and painful, which can be easily treated with home remedies. However, there are certain conditions where sunburns can cause blisters, peeling and itchiness which can lead to complications. A number of people fail to realize the fact that sunburns can occur even in mild temperature. The term actually means the prolong exposure to sun rays." -by Elve8.com

Risk Factors




"Fair Skin. Anyone, regardless of skin color, can get skin cancer. However, having less pigment (melanin) in your skin provides less protection from damaging UV radiation. If you have blond or red hair and light-colored eyes, and you freckle or sunburn easily, you're much more likely to develop skin cancer than is a person with darker skin." - by Mayo Clinic Staff

Faction Forward 

Heiress & Reality star Paris Hilton is a great example of staying fashion forward while protecting your skin .  Dress your protective look up or down with a floppy shiek sun hat or dress down with a classic cap and dark shades. Dont forget the sun screen . 
Use  Makeup with sunscreen as an added ingredient keep it cute and play it safe. 





People wear less clothes during the summer to Beat the Heat .This means more skin is exposed and can be damaging by Ultraviolet radiation which is especially bad for our eyes as well as the skin. 
Ultraviolet radiation 
invisible electromagnetic radiation between visible violet light and X rays; it ranges in wavelength from about 400 to 4 nanometers and in frequency from about 1015 to 1017 hertz. It is a component (less than 5%) of the sun's radiation and is also produced artificially in arc lamps, e.g., in the mercury arc lamp.


Child Protection 
This is a legendary Ad by Coppertone.


Have fun this summer and without the pain of the burn. Remember to wear hats, shades or umbrella as an summer accessory as you set trends Why be HOT when you can be HAWT!!! 

A great look for summer time at the beach.

I always like to switch it up a bit. You know, keep things interesting by exploring my creativity with different looks. I'm always inspired by the Peacock feathers I collect. The Peacock's feathers represent pride, and by extension, nobility and glory. Peacocks are also known to eat poisonous plants with no ill effects, making their feathers a symbol of incorruptibility and immortality. Personally, when entering a person(s) life my goal is to leave a positive lasting impression.  W e have a short time on this earth so memories are all we have, a photograph can be looked upon as vanity with out a story being told to back up it's true meaning. Vanity is self-centered and I'm f
