TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHT Kyndle Quinones “I could not have been in better hands with Kyndle and her team…they truly made me feel like I was the only customer they had and answered every question I had quickly and professionally. Every single person I spoke with and/or emailed always had such a positive attitude even though I know they were working under a lot of pressure to get everything they needed for me. I cannot recommend Kyndle and her team enough. They are the best of the best!

UV SAFETY MONTH UV Awareness Month, observed in July, serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays from the sun can cause premature aging, sunburn, and even skin cancer. Join the movement this July and prioritize your skin health by practicing sun safety every day.

UV SAFETY REMINDER

Spending time outside is a great way to be physically active, reduce stress, and get vitamin D. You can work and play outside without raising your skin cancer risk by protecting your skin from the sun. Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. UV rays are an invisible kind of radiation that comes from the sun, tanning beds, and sunlamps. UV rays can damage skin cells. Protection from UV rays is important all year, not just during the summer. UV rays can reach you on cloudy and cool days, and they reflect off of surfaces like water, cement, sand, and snow. In the continental United States, UV rays tend to be strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daylight saving time (9 a.m. to 3 p.m. standard time).

1 in 5 Americans get skin cancer.

WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM UV RAYS SHADE

SUNGLASSES

SUNSCREEN

You can reduce your risk of sun damage and skin cancer by staying in the shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter. Your best bet to protect your skin is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you’re outside—even when you’re in the shade.

Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts.

They also protect the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure. Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection.

Put on broad spectrum sunscreen that filters out both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of 15 or higher before you go outside. Don’t forget to put a thick layer on all exposed skin. Get help for hard-toreach places like your back.

MAIN STREET KITCHEN & BAR RED, WHITE, AND BOOZY! Time to break out the red solo cups and channel your Inner Toby Keith with these patriotic pairings!

RED, WHITE AND BLUE(BERRY) MARGARITAS INGREDIENTS Frozen Strawberry Margarita Frozen Blueberry Margarita Frozen Coconut Margarita 2 cups (12 ounces) frozen 1 cup (12 ounces) frozen 1/2 cup coconut milk (I strawberries blueberries recommend full-fat) 1/2 cup tequila 1/2 cup tequila 1/2 cup silver tequila 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey) 1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey) 1/4 cup agave nectar (or extra ice, if needed extra ice, if needed honey)

INSTRUCTIONS 1. For each of the margarita recipes, add the five ingredients to a blender and pulse until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thin, add extra ice until it is the consistency of a thick slushy.

Pour into a container, and store in the freezer while you rinse the blender to make the next batch.

2. If you would like to rim your glasses with salt or sugar, make a small slit in a fresh lime wedge and run it around the tops of your glasses to wet the edges. Then invert the glasses, and dip them in a bowl of salt or sugar to coat the rims.

3. Use a spoon to scoop your desired first flavor of margaritas into the bottom of your serving glasses until they are 1/3 full.

Add your second flavor, and then your final flavor. Serve immediately.

4. *For those of you who would like to have somewhat straight lines between layers, I have a little tip. Once your first layer is in, do not add a huge spoonful of the next color on top. Rather, add just a few small spoonfuls of the next color in small piles around the edges of the first layer until you have made a circle border. Then fill in the center, and THEN you can start adding in larger spoonfuls on top of that. (Repeat with the third layer.) If you add a huge glop of a new color, it will make the layer underneath get super uneven and start to bleed color everywhere.

5. But hey, after about 5-10 minutes, the colors will start to seep and combine anyway. So however yours turn out, no worries — they will be delicious!
