This week, we are excited to go Under The Umbrella with the amazing Dr. Heidi Jendro! A clinical pharmacist working in a large, high-paced hospital, as well as a dedicated Oregon State University fan. Read her interview to find out why sun protection and skin health are such an important part of her life, and she says it's important to sit back and enjoy the ride!

It might seem hard to protect your skin during the summer without piling on SPF 100 and hiding under a muumuu. But that sounds pretty sweaty and sad. Thankfully, you can look stylish while shielding yourself from harmful ultraviolet rays! It’s all about pairing sun-protective dresses with fun accessories. And in this post, I’ll show you exactly how to do that.

Summer scarves? I know. It’s only March, and some parts of the country are still blanketed in snow.

But here in Portland, it’s sunny and 61 degrees! It feels like the whole city is smiling. Here in rainy Portland, basically anything above 60 degrees is fair game for breaking out the shorts and Birkenstocks (with socks, obviously).

I’m joking, but spring and summer fashion is on our minds. In that spirit, I’ve put together a little guide with 5 summer scarves to help you pick the perfect one.

Should you wear sunscreen? “Only if it’s sunny out!” That’s the way a lot of us think. If it’s cloudy, rainy, or cold outside, it’s easy to assume you’re safe. But anyone who’s gotten a sunburn while skiing knows that’s not true. In this post, I’ll break down the myths about weather and explain why it is so important to wear sunscreen everyday, even on cloudy days.
