Our June Employee Spotlight!

Lauren is starting her second year for Home Vitality Care and has already worked for a variety of clients with different service needs. She has 10 year’s experience in home care. One of her clients has said that Lauren is able to anticipate how to help her proactively without the client needing to say anything. Just nice little things, like going out and turning the garage light on before they get ready to go out of the house to get into the car. Lauren’s favorite part of being a one-on-one Personal Assistant in the home is the companionship and building of relationships. She enjoys helping individuals who don’t like asking for help, yet really need it. She says, “They are so appreciative, it is a big return on my heart.” Lauren stated that she likes working for Home Vitality Care because of the authenticity and genuine compassion for both clients and employees.

Lauren enjoys horseback riding, spending time with her family and researching natural wellness and overall well being in her spare time.

🌞☀️ Mastering Sunscreen Application ☀️🌞

Hey everyone,

For our last summer tip, we wanted to share how essential it is to know the right way to apply sunscreen for maximum protection! 🏖️😎 Here's a quick guide to help you become a pro at sunscreen application:

1️⃣ Choose the Right SPF: Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. This shields your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term damage.

2️⃣ Apply Generously: Don't skimp on sunscreen! Use enough to cover your entire exposed skin. For an adult, a shot glass-sized amount should do the trick.

3️⃣ Timing Matters: Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before heading outdoors. This gives it enough time to bind to your skin and provide proper protection.

4️⃣ Reapply Regularly: Don't forget to reapply every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating. Even water-resistant sunscreen can wear off with prolonged water exposure.

5️⃣ Don't Miss Spots: Remember to apply sunscreen to easy-to-miss areas like ears, back of the neck, and the tops of your feet. A wide-brimmed hat is also a great accessory for extra protection!

6️⃣ Gentle Application: Be gentle with your skin, especially on the face. Avoid pulling or stretching your skin while applying sunscreen.

7️⃣ Don't Forget Lips: Your lips need protection too! Use a lip balm with SPF to keep them safe from the sun's rays.

Sunscreen is your summer skin's best friend, so let's make sure we apply it correctly and stay protected all season long. 🌴🌊

Share these tips with your friends and family, and let's all have a safe and sun-smart summer together! 🏄‍♀️🌞

💧🌞 Stay Hydrated this Summer! 🌞💧

Hey friends,

As the summer heat turns up, it's crucial to prioritize staying hydrated! 💦☀️ Let me share a few reasons why drinking water is so important during these sunny days:

🌡️ Beat the Heat: Drinking water helps regulate your body temperature, keeping you cool and comfortable even when the sun is scorching.

🚫 Avoid Dehydration: Dehydration can lead to dizziness, headaches, and fatigue. By sipping water throughout the day, you'll steer clear of these unpleasant symptoms.

🏊‍♀️ Active Lifestyle: Whether you're hitting the beach, going for a hike, or enjoying other outdoor activities, water fuels your energy and keeps you going strong.

🍉 Enhance Skin Health: Hydrated skin is happy skin! Water helps maintain your skin's natural glow and elasticity, preventing dryness and promoting a radiant complexion.

💪 Boost Your Immunity: Proper hydration supports your immune system, helping you fight off those pesky summer colds and illnesses.

Remember to carry a water bottle with you wherever you go and take sips frequently, even if you don't feel thirsty. Let's make the most of this summer by keeping ourselves refreshed and revitalized! 🌴😊

Share this reminder with your friends, and together, let's have a hydrated and fantastic summer! 🏄‍♂️🍹

🌞☀️ Summer Sun Safety Reminder ☀️🌞

Hey everyone!

Summer is in full swing, and I hope you're all enjoying the beautiful weather! 🏖️😎 However, I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about the importance of staying safe in the sun.

Here are three quick tips to keep in mind while having fun under the sun:

1️⃣ Wear Sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Don't forget to reapply every two hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating.

2️⃣ Seek Shade: During the peak hours of sun intensity (10 am to 4 pm), try to stay in the shade whenever possible. It'll help reduce your risk of sunburn and keep you cool.

3️⃣ Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when you're outside. Staying hydrated is key to having a fantastic summer without any heat-related issues.

Let's make this summer a safe and enjoyable one for everyone! 🌴😊 If you have more sun safety tips to share, drop them in the comments below.

Stay sun smart and have a fantastic summer! 🏄‍♀️🍉
