It’s summertime and that means going outside and getting activity with friends and family members! Whether its exploring your local National Park, swimming, or even taking a walk around your neighborhood, now is the time to get outdoors! June is Great Outdoors Month, and California is rich with National Parks to discover. On the National Park website, locate the National Park nearest you and plan a trip with your loved ones! While summertime is a great time to relax and have fun, make sure to keep yourself safe!
 
Heat Safety Tips:
 
Whether you are outside or inside, extreme heat can be dangerous and high levels of humidity can make even the most relaxing of days unbearable. Make sure to stay safe when you are outside by wearing sunscreen and staying in the shade when possible. Keep hydrated and know the signs of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Always keep a bottle of water or other healthy refreshments nearby! Hot cars can be deadly too, when it is warm outside, the temperature in the car can rise quickly and lead to deadly results.
 
Water Safety Tips:
 
Swimming in the pool, or your local river, can be a fun way to keep cool during the sizzling summer months! Avoid getting water in your mouth, and keep an eye on children playing in the water. Never swim alone or in unsupervised locations, make sure to always swim with another family member or friends. Maintain cleanliness standards in pools and rinse off before and after getting in to stay clean and healthy while preventing the spread of disease. Never drink alcohol before or after swimming, especially when operating heavy machinery such as boats or jet-skis—accidents can sometimes occur.
 
Food Safety Tips:
 
Grilling is an excellent way to get outside and show everyone your culinary prowess! Make sure to store raw meat, fruits and vegetables at the appropriate temperature and do not let them sit out in room temperature for longer than two hours. Be sure to wash the food and your hands thoroughly before cooking to avoid germs. Make sure to avoid cross contamination and do not use the same utensils for fruits and vegetables. Throughout the day, the ice in coolers may melt, make sure to bring extra ice and keep watch on temperature of the foods you are storing.
 
While following these guidelines, be sure to have fun and spend time with family and friends! For more information about summer safety tips, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website or the American Red Cross website. For some fun summer ideas for families, visit Care.com.

Looking good is important, and even as far back as Egyptian times, various treatments and regimes have been used to stay looking young and beautiful. These methods are often kept secret, as women do not like to give the impression of being a natural beauty, and may be reluctant to admit to the cost of expensive salon therapies. They certainly do not want to share the gory details of painful and potentially embarrassing procedures like facial injections and bikini waxing with the man in their life! Here are some of the secrets women don't want you to know about.
