1. Sunblock: BBQing is for the grill, not your fleshMany women harp on sunblock for reasons of vanity--heaven forbid a single crease should blemish your face. The only people with no wrinkles ever are, uh, Cher, and she's not even multiple people. So although one shouldn't aspire to the face of a dry-erase board, there's no excuse for not wearing sunblock. SPF 15 and higher sunblock is your best defense against skin cancer.
Try Neutrogena's SPF 45 Healthy Defense Untinted Sunblock or do the time warp with
Neutrogena Anti-Oxidant Age Reverse Day Lotion SPF 20.
2. H20: Drink upSalt water doesn't count, Pammy. I like Evian, Perrier, (80s throwback hooray), Fiji, babbling brooks, babbling...
3. A modest dressfor puritans and floozies alike.
4. BBQ hamburgers/veggie burgers and watermelon5. Fireworks = you
