Most people are diligent when it comes to protecting our skin in the hot summer months. But, what about what’s literally closest to the sun… their hair?
Repeated exposure to sun, salt water, and chlorine chemical residues can take an unstylish toll on our tresses. By the end of the summer, heat, humidity, chlorine or salt water can dehydrate hair to the point where it looks and feels nearly fried. Add tight ponytails and braids, relaxers, color, heat, curlers and a few extra chemical “sun” streaks for style and you’ll definitely want to keep a “lid” on it… Your hair, that is.
Don’t despair—warm summer days don’t have to lead to thinning-damaged hair. Learn to love your summer hair with a few basic do’s and don’ts for nourished, healthy, thicker and fuller looking hair from BIOTA Botanicals.

As school dismisses for the summer, students of all ages look forward to the carefree days of summertime, but many kids experience what is called the “summer slide.” Studies show that kids can lose up to two months of learning. Kumon, the world’s largest after-school math and reading program, is offering free registration at participating learning centers from June 1-30 to help students continue learning through the summer months.
While a break from the mental taxation of school is needed, challenging children year round is the key to having a strong start the following school year.
“Students can avoid summer learning loss by keeping their minds active and absorbing new knowledge,” said Dominique Ciccarelli, Ed. M., education specialist for Kumon North America. “Continuous study throughout the summer helps ease students into the new school year with sharper skills and enables them to tackle new challenges.”

There are many beautiful flowers in Marbella. These are some flower photos that I took in my garden in Marbella. I will be taking more Marbella summer flowers very soon. Watch this space.
As kids, Shaun and Daz are inseparable, skipping school, racing bikes, knocking about down
by the lake with Katy, Shaun’s first love. Full of life, Shaun runs up against an education
system that cannot contain him. He is squeezed and eventually spat out, taking Daz down
with him as he self‐destructs.
Twenty years later, Daz is in a wheelchair and has eight weeks to live. Shaun is left to reflect
on one gilded summer of love, sex and loyalty that marked the end of his innocence. His
memories lead him to track down Katy, in a bid for personal redemption. This is a story of
bright lives unfulfilled, of hopes that are snuffed out and then, finally, rekindled.
