Meet Dusty… |

This goofy, tongue out sweetheart is equal parts cuddle bug, shadow, and professional treat enthusiast. He’ll happily follow you around the house like you’re the last person leaving Downtown Summerlin after a concert, and he’ll make sure you never pee alone again.
Dusty is 1 year old, housebroken, loves people, gives the best kisses, and is ready to trade shelter life for a couch (preferably yours).
Bonus: This weekend only (July 18–19), all adoption fees are waived at The Animal Foundation’s Summer of Love event. That means you can bring home your new best friend for $0.
❤️ Sometimes the best thing you’ll bring home this weekend isn’t from Costco… it’s a wagging tail.
Dusty
Warning: Looking into those soulful eyes may result in spontaneous adoption. 🐾

Nothing says “I have my life together” quite like wandering a farmers market with an iced coffee and a reusable tote.
Skip the Costco crowds for a bit and stroll through fresh produce, gorgeous flowers, homemade treats, and local goodies. Bonus? Buying local may even help you avoid a certain pesky parasite.
So grab your best market buddy, pretend you’re on a Food Network show, and enjoy a morning that’s way more fun than circling the Downtown Summerlin parking lot 🍓🥖🌻 |

SPF Just Got a Glow Up (Because Looking Like a Rotisserie Chicken Isn’t the Goal) |
Let’s be honest… if you’ve survived a July afternoon in the Costco parking lot, walked Downtown Summerlin for “just one store,” or sat through your kid’s baseball game at Kellogg Zaher, you already know the Vegas sun doesn’t play nice.
Luckily, sunscreen has officially entered its glow up era.
Gone are the days of greasy white streaks that made you look like you lost a fight with drywall. Now you can protect your skin and look like you just got back from a relaxing weekend in Maui… even if your biggest getaway was Target and Trader Joe’s.
Here are a few SPF beauty products that actually earned permanent spots in our makeup bags.
Think of this as your skin’s Instagram filter. It gives your face a gorgeous glow that says, “I drink enough water and have my life together,” even if you were stress-eating fries at Lazy Dog five minutes ago. Wear it under foundation or by itself for that effortless summer shine.
If foundation and tinted moisturizer had a very attractive, low maintenance baby… This lightweight formula evens everything out without feeling heavy, making it perfect for Vegas heat. Whether you’re brunching at La Neta, grabbing coffee at Makers & Finders, or pretending you’re only going into Costco for one thing (good luck), this stuff holds up.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Color Balm
Blush… with benefits.
Swipe it on your cheeks and lips for that “I’ve been outside enjoying life” look, without actually letting the sun roast your face. It gives you that cute sun kissed glow while still protecting your skin.
Basically, fake the vacation. Keep the SPF.
Good Weather Skin Daily Sun Gloss Finding an SPF lip product that doesn’t taste like sunscreen is harder than finding parking at Downtown Summerlin during the holidays.
Thankfully, this one actually feels amazing, looks glossy, and doesn’t leave you wondering why your lips suddenly taste like pool chemicals. Bonus: people will probably ask what you’re wearing.
Bottom Line…
Vegas sunshine is amazing…
…until it’s trying to age you faster than the 215 during rush hour.
A little SPF now means fewer regrets later. Your future self (and your dermatologist) will thank you. |
