Simple Sharing: Sunburn Edition

Don’t go to Las Vegas Motor Speedway without sunscreen. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s only February, it’s not that warm, or any other excuse. Don’t go to Las Vegas Motor Speedway without sunscreen. For two weeks now, I’ve been a lobster, and I’m finally returning to a normal shade of pink on my arms, chest, and forehead. On the bright side, I found a sunburn remedy that actually works: take a medium warm bath with about two cups of baking soda thrown in.  Keep resubmerging yourself on and off, and a lot of the sting will be gone. In the meantime, don’t go to Las Vegas Motor Speedway without sunscreen.

Now that I’m finally recovered from our quickie vacation, here are few goodies I’ve enjoyed that don’t require first aid:

Check out Emily’s classic Getting Back to Basics post at Remodeling This Life. I think a lot of On Simplicity readers can really identify with the idea that getting back to basics is a great thing.

Frugal Dad kicks up an interesting discussion with A Frugal Diet, or a Frugal Lifestyle. The idea that some things I do may be more akin to a diet (temporary) than a lifestyle (long-lasting) definitely got me thinking.  Coupons are definitely a frugal diet item with me; I use them occasionally, but not systematically.  You might also like Simplify Your Personal Finance Life—a solid primer on the subject.

This one’s got a gem at the end that should make you smile: How Do I Look? And Do You Need a Pee Break? over at ThinkMaya. (And I actually had an experience like that at a conference of grown adults recently…)

Simple Living: Five Philosophies to Keep Your Life on Track is great! This is one of my favorite posts from My Super-Charged Life. I love the end thought that “philosophies don’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.”

Sherri walks us through the basics of gratitude journaling at Serene Journey with Gratitude Journal: 30 Days to Happiness.

Get a quick and easy gauge of your security by taking Ron’s Identity Theft Test at The Wisdom Journal. Cool idea, Ron!

Check out Nadia’s interview with Renee Loux (author of Easy Green Living) on Happy Lotus. Absolutely none of Renee’s tips are hard or budget-busting, and her advice applies to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

My Dollar Plan had a great, back-to-basics piece this week with Personal Finance A to Z. There’s even a legitimate entry for “X.” Woo-hoo! There’s a lot of great, core knowledge here in a fun, easy to digest format.

If you’re someone who likes to get things on paper and make lists, you’ll love How to See Clearly When You’re Worried over at A Content Life. This is and easily applicable, workshop format for making good decisions. (If that link doesn’t work for you, head to A Content Life and scroll down to March 9.)

Marc and Angel Hack Life always something thoughtful and inspiring to enjoy. This week, consider How Time Management Can Ruin Lives.
