Bleeping Motherhood is 2 years old this month. That’s 24 years old in dog years. 72 in reptile years. 184 in alien years. And 684 in minion years.

Damn, we’re old.

Here’s some tips on staying young, sane and most importantly, avoid morphing into a minion.

• Stay out of the sun. Who am I kidding? I LOVE the sun. As I’m getting older though (I’m almost as old as a dying alien, but not quite as old as a dog in puberty), I’m finding that I need to be more aware of applying sunscreen. Not just when we’re at the beach, but everyday. I’m still playing around with my sunscreen game, but I like the idea of this SPF 30 Tinted Mineral Moisturizer by Juice Beauty.
• Wear a huge sun hat.  Hat wearing will not only keep the sun out of your face, but wearing a ginormous hat is just plain fun! Fun equals good times, and good times equals less stress. Seems like a no-brainer, I think. I bought a very large sun hat on a cruise we were on in the Bahamas. I must say, it did bring a bit of fun into my life. I’m actually shopping around for more large hats for this summer. What do you guys think of this one? I feel like with the right sunglasses, I could channel my inner Audrey Hepburn!

Protect your skin. Wear something fun. And be on your way!

And if you accidentally turn into a minion, we apologize.
