Adam at SeyDesign, you da man!
A recent Baylor
University Medical Center study shows that shimmery,
light-reflecting lip products can increase the risk
of skin cancer and visible aging around your mouth.
Makes sense to me! Time to add a separate lip
sunscreen to the morning routine if you haven't
already. (Press TV)
Apple updates its iMac line today, (Apple Insider) and iTunes
turns five! (TUAW)

bandwagon. (CNET)

JT did indeed attended her father's memorial service.

her tush. (Page Six)
The Most Gorgeous Man on Television
Holy hotness. I am in
love with
Henry
Cavill, the actor from
Showtime's The
Tudors.
The minute King Henry
chops this guy's head off
is the minute I stop watching.
Btw, season two is even better than the first one, so
jump on the bandwagon if you haven't yet.

Stephanie Tanner had a baby girl on Saturday.
(OK!)
Prom Night won this weekend's box office

Win it: Jergens Natural Glow Express
Actress Kristen Bell pledged to glow sans sun this
summer.
Make a promise to save your skin on Jergens.com.
The fact that I openly recognize sun worshipping as
one of my biggest beauty crimes doesn't make me
less of an idiot for "forgetting" to use the right
amount of SPF when I go to the beach. Nothing
drives this home more than the cold, hard facts of
skin cancer:
- Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the US, with more than 1 million new cases each year.
- More than 90 percent of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure.
- One in 5 Americans and one in 3 Caucasians will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. (Source)
Scary. But here's the thing: no one's going to make sure you protect yourself but you, so why not make a promise to yourself starting today? Head on over to Jergens.com and take the "Glow in the Dark" pledge. Here's an incentive (besides ridding yourself of raisin face for life):
The first five YBLAG readers to sign the pledge and email me at Julie@youbloglikeagirl.com will win Jergens Natural Glow Express Moisturizer in both medium and medium/tan! Not for anything, but that's an awesome prize — it's a new formulation of Jergens Natural Glow that works in just three days. Get pledging, my pasty pretties!
Defeat does not exist in this dojo...
