Happiest Days
By Edward H. DonnellyI said to the little children,
"You are living your happiest days,"
And their bright eyes opened wider In innocent amaze.
For their happiness was so perfect,
They did not know it then;
"Oh, no," they said, "there'll be happier days
When we are women and men."
I said to the youth and maiden,
"You are living your happiest days,"
And into their sparkling eyes there crept
A dreamy, far-off gaze;
And their hands sought one another,
And their cheeks flushed rosy red;
" Oh, no," they said, " there'll be happier days
For us when we are wed."
I said to the man and woman,
"You are living your happiest days,"
As they laughingly watched together
Their baby's cunning ways.
"These days are days of labor.
They can hardly be our best;
There'll be happier days when the children are grown,
And we have earned our rest."
I said to the aged couple,
"You are living your happiest days,"
Your children do you honor,
You have won success and praise.
" With a peaceful look they answered,
"God is good to us, that's true: But we think there are happier days for us
In the life we're going to."
Summer is right around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited! Whether you’re planning on hitting up some music festivals or the beach, or even just stepping out of your house for a few minutes to get some ice cream, SPF is always a necessity. Most of us usually forget to put on sunscreen, and that’s why this new mineral sunscreen has come out on the market.
The new Bare Republic Mineral SPF 50 Neon Sunscreen Sticks, priced at only $9 come in six different neon colors, Punk-Rock Pink, Atomic Orange, Goblin Green, Lightning Yellow, Wicked Purple and Electric Blue. Each color is scented with a different fragrance that relates to the color, such as Punk-Rock Pink with the smell of Raspberries. This is your chance to embrace your inner child, and paint your face like there’s no tomorrow. You might love sun bathing, and getting tanned, but SPF is really something that can’t be skimped on. The UV radiation that hits your skin can seriously damage your skin cells if it is not properly protected.
The stress caused by exposure to UV rays can can dark spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and skin cancer in the most serious of cases. If you avoid SPF because it’s greasy, well then welcome to the club and start using these super fun neon sun protection sticks.
Every stick is vegan, gluten-free and light weight. It can be thrown into your beach bag without even thinking about it, and no messy explosions later on. The SPF 50 is water-resistant and lasts for up to 80 minutes.
You can make some serious masterpieces on your face, just don’t forget to rub it in, unless you have no problem with some awkward facial tan lines.
