July 5, 2016 Finger Lakes Connected
 
It is July. After school is out in June, I go through a bit of denial, resisting all the changes that come with this and three kids. July is the month of acceptance where I realize it's healthier to go with the flow and fall into the groove of summer. I grab the little doses of bonding time that surface with each child as their schedule allows and fit in my stuff in the spaces in between.  Then, August I really feel myself enjoying the moments of summer and "less is more" scheduling of activities, right before it all changes back to what it was before with all the structure of school. Ebb and Flow. It's kind of what life is.

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion
Do you have dry skin? Do you have itchiness in addition to dry skin? Do you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea? If so consider trying Skin MD. Skin MD is a shielding lotion that bonds with the outer layer of your skin to keep irritants out and natural moisture in. Skin MD is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer skin layer into a hydrating invisible shield. Depending on your skin condition many see improvement after a few days of daily use.
 
Stop into Canandaigua The Medicine Shoppe (66 West Ave) to see if Skin MD can help your skin.
