A Pearl in the Storm is not a memoir about great successes-of which Tori Murden McClure has many. Instead, the bulk of her inspiring story focuses on her first failed attempt to row across the Atlantic Ocean alone.
After being rescued from the middle of the worst hurricane season in the North Atlantic, McClure must deal with the self-imposed disgrace tied to her failed attempt. She is forced to embrace her own vulnerability. After meeting Muhammad Ali-and being told that she does not want to be known as the woman who "almost" rowed across the Atlantic Ocean-she decides to shake off the weight of failure and attempt her great feat again. With her characteristic wry sense of humor, she explores her interaction with failure-and how she responded and ultimately overcame it."A stirring metaphor for life's unpredictable ups and downs. . . . McClure offers her reflections in contemplative, honest language, revealing her meaningful road to self-discovery. An inspirational story of losing pride, embracing humanity and accepting love."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Freshman Common Read: Northern Kentucky University, Brescia University, Erksine College, Spring Hill College--Charles Gaines, author of The Next Valley OverBinding Type: Paperback

Only SPF 15. Best For Overcast Days or Less Exposure.
I love Coppertone Sport sunscreens because they stay on longer than many and don't drip painful lotion into my eyes when I sweat. This spray-on version is only SPF 15, so, as a fair person, I can use it in direct sun only for 30-60 minutes of exposure or if I'm outside during an overcast day when, yes, I can still burn. SPF blocks 93% of the sun's rays, which sounds like a lot until you consider that SPF 50 blocks 98% of the rays.
Sprays like this are especially useful if I'm by myself and need to reach difficult places such as my back. For the rest of me, I spray my skin, then rub in for complete coverage. For my face and neck, I spray into my hands, then apply to those areas. You don't want to spray directly on your face when you can inhale it or get it in your eyes.
If you don't have sun-sensitive skin or don't expect to be in direct sunlight for long, then this is a great option for easy application. Just make sure you apply enough of it and reapply throughout the day.

Summer Essential at great price
Great deal ahead of the summer sun. Product was the perfect match for my golf trip. Felt like it held up even in the heat and sweaty environment.

Great sunburn protection for beach days
Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you burn easily like I do, this sunscreen is an absolute lifesaver. I used it during a full day out in the intense sun and beach heat, and it protected my skin perfectly—not a single spot of redness!
What I love most is that it works beautifully for both the face and body. It applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave that heavy, suffocating white cast that a lot of high-SPF sunscreens do. It also handles sweat and water incredibly well without running into my eyes and stinging. It has a nice, subtle beachy scent that isn’t overpowering. This is officially my go-to sunscreen for outdoor activities!

Lightweight, Effective & Smells Great
Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen works amazing! The Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 gives excellent sun protection without feeling too heavy or greasy on the skin. I really like that it doesn’t have a strong overpowering smell like many other sunscreens. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and feels comfortable for everyday wear or beach days. The water resistance is great and it protects well even during long hours outside. Perfect for the whole family and definitely worth buying again!
