Wishing everyone a safe and happy July 4th!

My dad - who is half Irish and half Cuban - just had skin cancer removed from one of his arms. I had a pre-skin cancer blotch removed from my own arm 5 years ago. So to say I'm taking SPF seriously this summer would be an understatement. Even if you have melanated skin: you. need. sunscreen. Now go get some!
Getting off my soapbox now.

It's hard to believe the 4th of July is next week. I mean, didn't June just start yesterday?!
I didn't have enough time to actually DIY this year, but I'm sharing some old familiar favorites from previous years. I still display the faux flashcards I made a couple of years ago, and this Target gumball machine still houses the red/white/blue decorations from last year.
And I always break out this little, vintage red matchbox fire truck.
This is one of my favorite views in the she-shed.
I kept the decorations to a minimum this year. Sometimes less really is more...

Have you been to Dollar Tree lately? I can't believe all of the new beauty products they have - and they're all still just $1.25.
I'm sure you've heard that they will be raising their prices again. They already have some items for $3 and $5, but so far their beauty offerings have remained at $1.25. I grabbed a few of these masks as a pre-Mother's Day treat to myself. The strawberry one smells divine!
Mr. Bubble will come in handy after a long day of gardening.
And how sweet is this popsicle-shaped bath sponge? I couldn't resist.
I also picked up some nail polish (Sally Hansen), cotton balls, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.
What do I skip in the beauty aisle at Dollar Tree? I avoid skincare brands I've never heard of, as well as fragrances, mascara and sunscreen.
