Watching Audrey Hepburn sing “Moon River” in Breakfast at Tiffany’s we think of home. Each day, our founders cross the actual Moon River that inspired Savannah-born lyricist Johnny Mercer.

Oh, that ever-evolving skill of getting ready for travel. My friends and I have been talking about how and what we pack, and I’m continually honing this process. Before trading southern days for the whirl of a recent London getaway—exploring art museums, gardens, and shops—I was back in the pre-trip rituals. What to bring? What to leave at home?

Recently published research shows that a daily dose of vitamin B3 in the form of nicotinamide taken orally twice a day can dramatically reduce the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal-cell carcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma, as well as reduce the rate of new pre-cancers (actinic keratoses).

It seems the pull to read grows stronger with the sunshine, and that’s a good thing. According to a study at the University of Sussex, reading calms our muscles and mind. Falling into a story certainly relaxes the face. (You know we like that at Sapelo!)

Whether washing your face with a cleanser, exfoliating with a mask, or applying serum to decrease wrinkles, you EXPECT results. While basing skin care strategies on results is important, you should be keenly aware of the ingredients. Do you really know what’s in your skin care products? If you don’t, it is never too late to learn. For most, reading the list of ingredients on the back of a product is not likely the first step in the selection process--we all tend to look at the results, not how they are delivered. However, it is pivotal to understand the ingredients in your skin care routine in order to select the products with the safest and most scientifically effective ingredients.

But let’s be honest, it can be difficult to select a gift for mom.
