free skin cancer screenings

While reading Allure, my favorite and only junk magazine (that totally isn't junk because they have lots of great tips!), I learned that May is skin cancer awareness month. A bunch of dermatologists all across the country are offering free skin cancer screenings during May, June, and July. It seemed like a cool deal, so I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone is interested. It's sponsored by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, so it's not like a shady deal or anything like that. The website you can go to to find a dermatologist who's offering the free screenings is: skincancertakesfriends.org

Enough seriousness, though... for happier things, scroll down to my previous post with cake pictures!

That is so cool. I've never had a skin cancer screening and neither has Vince. What do they do?

I think they basically look at your whole body for moles and other kinds of skin cancer... so it's probably good to get a female md!

Danielle wants me to get one of these because she is worried about my freckles and stuff. :)
