It’s summer time, and for pasty people like me that means one thing: Sunburns galore. Even when I slap on the latest suntan lotion from NASA, I still seem to get a burn somewhere unpleasant. Luckily there is a great product out there that provides instant relief to even the worst sunburns. What is this miracle product? Does the government know about it? Does it cost an internal organ to purchase?

In short: It’s called Solarcaine, I’m pretty sure the government knows about it, and it only costs an organ if you buy it from me (hey, I have bills to pay). This is a cold spray that you apply to your burn and then let dry for a few minutes. It begins to work almost instantly, and in my experience lasts for a decent amount of time (at least four hours). You can even pick it up at your local pharmacy or grocery store for relatively cheap, easily under ten dollars.

Give it a shot the next time you get a sunburn. I think you’ll be as happy with the results as I am.

Why? The answer to this is simple: You never know when it’s going to rain. It could look like a beautiful day outside, however you never know when those ominous rain clouds are going to rear their ugly heads. With your luck, just when it starts to rain you’ll get a call from your client across the street asking if you can come over, guaranteeing a soaking. This can all be avoided if you keep an umbrella at your work. It doesn’t have to be a nice one (I have one from CVS that was $9.99), it just has to shield you from the rain.

Remember, if you end up taking it home, bring it back to work the next day. Otherwise, you’ll never remember to bring it back.
