I had big plans this year to send out Christmas cards via snail mail, but I procrastinated a little too long for that (and decided to move back to Texas!).  So, instead, I opted to send an email note with a fancy collage for all to see!  I made a super simple picmonkey.com collage (more on my love for picmonkey here) and emailed it to all of our friends and family. And of course share it with my blog family! Here she is…

Andy and I are doing a tour of Texas over the next week. We’ll be driving to College Station to Houston to Austin and back to Houston visiting with the fams. Anyone else do a Christmas tour? What are your plans? Do you send Christmas cards? Anyone email Christmas cards? I’d love to hear! But, most of all I hope y’all have a peaceful, happy, Merry Christmas! xo

I feel pretty lucky when it comes to skin. I have naturally dark, super oily face skin. The oily thing isn’t so great for picture taking; I’m the girl with the shiny forehead in all pictures! But I’m OK with that. My big thing is keeping my skin looking young for as long as possible. I love the beach, like super extra love the beach and clearly the beach and sun go hand in hand. I am a total freak show when it comes to my skin and the sun. Andy and my friends can vouch for my excessive amounts of sunscreen and towels over my head while soaking up the vitamin D. I apply liberally and often… oh, and I like hats too. And under the sunscreen, at the beach (and every other day for that matter) I wear Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15. That’s right, SPF in my moisturizer. I’m not taking any chances, folks. Who wants premature wrinkles and lines? Not this girl! I want Christie Brinkley skin when I’m 58!

I love that Cetaphil is the only brand of cleansers & moisturizers recommended by more than 90% of dermatologists. Pretty good stats, if you ask me! I like Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 for 4 main reasons:

• I have SPF protection on my face every day.
• It doesn’t make my face shiny.
• 2 pumps does the job, one bottle lasts a couple of months.
• It’s fragrance free. (This is huge for me!)
