Dear 16 Year Old Me...

I saw this video floating around Facebook a few months ago. 

Then I saw it on Chelsea's blog on Monday..... which happened to be the day I had my 2nd Dermatology appointment of the year. And had 5 moles removed. After having 3 removed last spring. 

(Ok, so I scheduled the appointment before end of the year so I wouldn't have to meet my deductible again for the lab, ha! Just another part of being a big girl in the real world, right?!!)

Luckily for me, my dermatologist is a lady I babysit for, and she will remove ANY mole that is even the slightest suspicious looking. It actually makes me feel better knowing she's taking more than a usual patient, much rather be safe than sorry!!!!

I've always used 30+ SPF sunscreen, but I used to frequent the tanning bed in high school and college. Which scares me to think about all the damage I have done to my skin, ugh!

I encourage everyone to watch this video. And make your yearly dermatologist appointment to have your skin checked out!!!
