The west coast has seen a few years of snowfall in recent weeks. 15 feet in the Lake Tahoe area. They’re predicting that the melt will be enough to restore the lake.  ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

Here it’s been the opposite. Warm and sunny. 🌞 🌞 🌞

And my spring fever got the best of me recently. I settled into a comfy chair with a gentle breeze blowing.

The sun felt SOOO GOOD on my face. And, I could feel my body rebooting!

Delightful. So much so that I feel asleep. 💤

When I woke up from my nap, I suspected that I got too much sun on skin that hadn’t seen it in awhile. 

I was right … unfortunately. By that evening, I looked like a roasted tomato.

Getting a bit of sun on unprotected skin is VERY healthy. What I did … not so much.

Did I mention it felt SOOO GOOD 

While I wouldn’t recommend spending more than 10 to 30 minutes in the sun with unprotected skin, when you do find yourself with a sunburn or skin rash it’s important to have some natural home remedies ready to go.

I share a post on my site that includes several of my favorites. The current situation called for a bit of extra help in the form of a Chinese herbal remedy. 

🤞🏻 So far so good. The burn doesn’t hurt and hasn’t peeled … yet.
