Many Americans think of sunscreen at the beach. Fewer consider wearing it for the drive there. And many are questioning if they should wear sunscreen at all.
These trends, uncovered in a new national survey from the nonprofit Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA), highlight a central challenge in skin cancer prevention.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, according to the CDC. Nine in 10 skin cancers, including melanoma, are linked to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, according to the MRA. Reducing exposure to UV radiation lowers the risk of skin cancer, making sunscreen a key part of prevention.
A survey of 2,000 adults found that most Americans have a basic understanding of the risks of sun exposure, but that awareness doesn’t always translate into action. More than 8 in 10 recognize that spending long hours in the sun contributes to melanoma risk, yet roughly one‑quarter say they rarely or never use sunscreen when spending time outdoors. Then there are those everyday moments that most people don’t recognize as risky. The light coming through the window over the sink. The short walk from the parking lot. The hour in the bleachers with the sun hitting one side of your face. A single sunburn can be dangerous, but it’s
the accumulation of exposure over time that often drives risk.
Sunscreen is widely recognized as an effective tool for skin cancer prevention, yet confusion and misinformation persist, especially on social media. Fifty‑three percent of respondents say they have seen claims that sunscreen ingredients June be harmful. Fifty‑nine percent say they are concerned about what’s in sunscreen, and 38% don’t believe sunscreen is safe and effective.
Many Americans also say they aren’t sure how sunscreen works. Only about a third can correctly explain the difference between types of sunscreens, while a much larger share reports being unsure.
Sunscreen works by absorbing or blocking UV radiation from reaching the skin, preventing DNA damage that can cause skin cancer. In the United States, the active ingredients in sunscreen undergo rigorous review by the Food and Drug Administration, which evaluates them as over‑the‑counter drugs. This drug‑level standard requires extensive testing and contributes to a more limited set of approved UV filters compared with Europe, where sunscreens are regulated as cosmetics. The FDA is currently evaluating additional methodologies for assessing sunscreen ingredients, a process that could expand the number of approved UV filters available to U.S. consumers.
All of this is unfolding during a period of real progress in melanoma research. While melanoma remains the deadliest form of skin cancer, more than 8,500 Americans are expected to die from it in 2026, roughly one person every hour, according to the American Cancer Society. Recent advances are improving outcomes for many patients with advanced disease, though approximately 50% of patients do not respond to current treatments, according to MRA,

ROOM‑BY‑ROOM TIPS FOR CLUTTER‑FREE SPACES
A well‑organized home isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating systems that make everyday life easier. When everything has a place, it’s simpler to maintain and keep clutter from creeping back in.
Experts often recommend tackling organization one room at a time, sorting items into categories like keep, donate or discard before finding the right storage solutions. If your home could use a refresh, start small and work your way through each space with these organization tips.
Entryway
A dedicated “drop zone” ensures items used daily don’t end up scattered throughout the house. However, the entryway is also one of the easiest places for clutter to pile up. To keep it tidy:
• Install wall hooks for coats, bags and backpacks
• Use a small bench or basket for shoes
• Add a tray or bowl for keys, sunglasses and everyday essentials
Kitchen
One of the most‑used rooms in nearly every home, kitchen organization is key to making daily routines smoother. To stay organized:
• Clear unnecessary items off countertops
• Group pantry items by category, such as snacks, baking supplies and canned goods
• Store rarely used appliances in cabinets or a pantry
Living Room
Living rooms often serve many purposes, from relaxing and entertaining to working or studying. The key is creating storage that blends seamlessly with your decor:
• Use decorative baskets for blankets,
magazines and toys
• Choose furniture with hidden storage like ottomans or coffee tables* Keep remotes and small electronics in a designated tray or organizer
Bedroom
Your bedroom should feel like a sanctuary. Too much clutter can make it harder to relax and unwind. To maintain order:
• Keep only essential items on nightstands
• Rotate seasonal clothing to free up closet space
• Use under‑bed storage bins for extra linens or off‑season clothes
Bathroom
Bathrooms often have limited space, so smart storage solutions are essential:
• Keep countertops clear except for frequently used products
• Separate backup supplies from daily‑use items, which should be stored for quick access
• Use over‑the‑door organizers for towels or extra storage
Home Office
Whether you work remotely or simply manage household tasks, an organized office helps you stay focused. To improve productivity and reduce distractions:* Digitize or recycle unnecessary paperwork
• Use desk trays and organizers for supplies
• Create labeled folders or a filing system for important documents
Storage Areas
Garages, basements and storage rooms can quickly become catch‑all spaces. A little planning can make them much easier to manage:
• Label bins for seasonal decorations, tools or sports equipment
• Use shelving and wall storage to maximize vertical space
• Keep an inventory list for larger storage areas
With a little planning and the right habits, a well‑organized home becomes easier to maintain. Find more ideas at eLivingtoday.com. #17862

SUMMER GARDENS
A summer garden is one of the most beautiful and refreshing parts of nature. During the warm summer months, gardens become full of colorful flowers, fresh vegetables, green trees, and singing birds. They provide peace, beauty, and a pleasant environment for people of all ages. A well‑maintained summer garden not only enhances the beauty of a home but also offers many physical and mental benefits.
In summer, gardens are filled with life and energy. Bright flowers such as roses, sunflowers, marigolds, lilies, and daisies bloom in different colors, making the surroundings cheerful and attractive. The sweet fragrance of flowers spreads through the air and creates a relaxing atmosphere. Butterflies and bees fly from flower to flower, adding charm to the garden scene. Green grass and shady trees make the garden a cool and comfortable place even on hot days.
A summer garden is also important because it can provide fresh fruits and vegetables. Many people grow tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, spinach, and herbs in their gardens during summer. Freshly grown produce is healthier, tastier, and free from harmful chemicals. Gardening also encourages people to eat healthy food and spend more time outdoors. It teaches patience, responsibility, and care for nature.

Gardening is considered a healthy hobby. Working in the garden involves digging, planting, watering, and removing weeds, which helps people stay physically active. Spending time among plants and flowers reduces stress and improves mood. Many people find peace and happiness while taking care of their gardens. Children can also learn valuable lessons about nature, seasons, and the environment through gardening activities.
A summer garden becomes a perfect place for relaxation and social gatherings. Families often spend evenings sitting in the garden, enjoying fresh air and cool breezes. Friends and relatives June gather there for tea, meals, or celebrations. Some people decorate their gardens with benches, fountains, lights, and small pathways to make them more attractive and comfortable. Birds chirping in the trees and the gentle sound of water create a calm and pleasant environment.
However, maintaining a summer garden requires effort and attention. Plants need regular watering because the summer heat can dry the soil quickly. Gardeners must protect plants from harmful insects and remove weeds that compete for nutrients. Proper care, sunlight, and fertilizer are necessary for healthy growth. Despite these challenges, the beauty and rewards of a flourishing garden make the hard work worthwhile.
In conclusion, a summer garden is a wonderful gift of nature that brings beauty, freshness, and joy to life. It improves health, provides fresh food, and creates a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. Whether large or small, every garden reflects the love and care of the person who maintains it. A summer garden reminds us of the importance of nature and encourages us to live in harmony with the environment.

This influence shines through in his luminous interiors, sensual color, and intimate portrayals of the male figure.
