How do you protect your skin from the sun? ☀️E

How do you protect your skin from the sun? ☀️Ever since my skin cancer diagnosis and Mohs surgery, I’m hyper vigilant about sun safety. There are so many ways to protect your skin from the sun without having to stay indoors all day. Today I’m sharing my tips for families staying safe in the sun on CHB ☀️
.
With over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United States each year, skin cancer is America’s most common cancer. I’m honored to being teaming up up with @coolibar to spread awareness and support skin cancer education. Want to join in too? Check out their This Is Brave campaign, where 100% of proceeds from all their This Is Brave products are donated to the Melanoma Research Foundation

UNPOPULAR OPINION 🪴
1. Gardening is not easy or fun. It’s really stressful and requires a lot of research.
2. The smell of bacon frying is disgusting. And lingers for way too long.
3. Seinfeld and Friends are never funny.
4. Pizza is an appropriate choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.
5. Piña Coladas, Gin and Tonics, and Cider Beer is gross. 🥴
6. “Tan” filters in stories are not pretty.

Now it’s your turn - and don’t hold back!!! I love it when you argue in the comments 🤣

Girls Getaway ✨ Last night we snuck away to Anna

Girls Getaway ✨ Last night we snuck away to Annabelle’s second dance competition in Stamford and turned it into a girl’s getaway! My Mom, Annabelle and I stayed overnight at the gorgeous @thelloydstamford ✨🏨
.
The uniquely decorated chic hotel is located just a short walk away from The Palace - our competition location site - so we had a beautiful room to get ready in before Annabelle’s dance 💃🏼 . After an exciting big win and dinner @remosbrickovenpizza 🍕 we headed back to the hotel with Annabelle’s new trophy to snuggle up in the coziest bed and watch movies 🏆The Lloyd offers coffee delivery to your room (piping hot!) in the morning and a delicious lite breakfast in the lobby ☕️ There’s also a 24 hour gym and marketplace that maybe I’ll get to check out on my next visit 👟
.
Thank you so much to @thelloydstamford for a fun stay 🤩 We hope to visit again soon!

Am I normal?? - I remember asking my OB this exact question about 15 months after having Annabelle. I’d just dropped a few pumping sessions during the day while at work and instead of enjoying my newfound freedom, I found myself crying uncontrollably at my desk. I was eating junk to “feel better” but then dealing with guilt for putting unhealthy food in my body. I was consumed with unexplainable feelings, either anxiety or frustration, that something was wrong with me. I’ll never forget my shock when my doctor said those feeling were “normal for someone experiencing postpartum depression.”

1 in 5 women will experience a maternal mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, OCD, or even psychosis. In fact, women of childbearing age make up the largest depression demographic in the U.S. Although it’s the most common complication of pregnancy and the postpartum period, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) are the most underdiagnosed and undertreated. Good news: these illnesses are likely temporary and 100% treatable with professional help.

Follow the hashtag #facesofpmad to see the army of women who’ve been there and want to raise awareness and end stigma.⠀
.
As you can see these illnesses do not discriminate but they also don’t define our worth. We want to encourage you that you are not alone.⠀

We are all survivors of PMADs and you will be too. Feel free to take your own selfie and use our hashtag to spread awareness.

Is your house full of snacks ?! 🍪 🍩🧁🍬🍦 When I was growing up, we didn’t have a big snack cabinet. My parents bought the food we needed for the week and that was that. I used to love going to my cousins house because they always had Little Debbie’s and Reese’s Cereal and all kinds of goodies though 🤩 Now that I buy the food to put in my own cabinets, I go a little overboard on snacks. Perhaps it’s overcompensation for my snack-limited teenage years? 🤔 Whatever it is - you can always find chips and dips, mini muffins and pop tarts, frozen pizzas and more when you’re in the Houston household. 🍕🥞 All enjoyed in moderation of course 🥳
