It’s Memorial Day Weekend and we know you want to pack the weekend with as much fun as possible! If you find yourself in or around Louisville, we suggest visiting the 40th Annual Red Hills Festival. The Festival starts with the Friday Night Street Party followed by the Annual Red Hills Festival on Saturday, May 29th. There you see local artists and vendors on full display, and you’ll be able to get anything from handmade jewelry, candles, furniture, outdoor art, and much more. Would it be a Mississippi festival if there weren’t amazing eats?! You can expect dozens of vendors and a wide variety of cuisines, so there should be a little something to please everyone’s appetite! If that hasn’t reeled you in, maybe the Red Hills Car Show will. Check out over 100 cars and trucks of all makes and models. There’s a variety of judging categories, so you are sure to see some one-of-a-kind entries this year. To top it all off, there is a 5K Run and a Fun Run starting in downtown Louisville. There will definitely be something for everyone all Red Hills Festival needs is you! You can head to the Louisville/Winston County, MS Chamber of Commerce website, and don’t forget to tag us in all your photos if you make it out there!

Festivities will kick off at 11am at Walthall Park, and you can expect a day full of live music and a stomach full of good eats and drinks. Included in the ticket price is admission to this killer event along with access to all musical acts and all-you-can-eat crawfish, burgers, hot dogs, soft drinks and more. This is, of course, a family friendly event complete with a Kids Zone. They will not be selling tickets the day of the event, so be sure to purchase tickets for you and your whole crew in advance. It’s going to be a nice sunshiny weekend, perfect for the 22nd Annual Downtown Crawfish Jam.

5 Great Sunscreens for the Summer

5/13/2021

The sun is out and beach plans have been booked. We want to make sure you check off one of the most important things from your packing list: sunscreen. Not to be a downer, but every time you take a walk, catch some fresh air, or layout poolside, you’re exposing yourself to harmful UV radiation. The best way to protect your gorgeous face is to slather on some broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning and reapply as needed throughout the day. We asked our friends at SKIN the Spa at Runnels Center for their top picks. We’ve listed all five below. And when you’re ready to pick some up, head to SKIN in Flowood, MS, or give them a call at 601-348-7984.

1. Zo Skin Health: Daily Sheer Broad Spectrum Sunscreen
First up we have this Zo Skin Health Daily Sheer Broad Spectrum Sunscreen. Not only is it SPF 50, but it’s also waterproof. It dries quickly with a sheer matte finish to shield against UVA/UVB and IR-A rays, and HEV light. This protective and hydrating formula is great for your pool and beach days.

2. Revision Skincare: Intellishade Original
Try to not get too excited with this one. It is an anti-aging tinted daily moisturizer with sunscreen. Yes, we heard the Hallelujah Choir too. Intellishade Original has broad-spectrum SPF 45 and is formulated to correct, protect, conceal, brighten and hydrate skin. It prevents visible signs of aging and enhances skin’s natural moisture barrier, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and brightens and evens skin tone while reducing the appearance of redness. To top it all off, it also protects skin from UVA/UVB radiation.

3. Zo Skin Health: Sunscreen + Primer
Knock out two birds with one bottle. The Zo Skin Health Sunscreen + Primer hydrates and doubles as a makeup primer for a smooth matte finish, diminishing skin imperfections. With this, you’ll be protected from harmful rays and your makeup will look flawless. Sounds pretty dreamy to us!

4. Obagi Medical: Sun Shield Tint
This bad boy is an upgrade to your tinted moisturizer. It protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays while adding that hint of warmth to your skin. It has an SPF of 50 and has infrared defense to help buffer the skin from heat-derived oxidative stress.

5. Supergoop: Unseen Sunscreen
Last, but certainly not least, we have Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen. This is a totally invisible, weightless, scentless sunscreen with SPF 40 that leaves a velvety finish. This innovative, antioxidant-rich multitasker has a unique oil-free formula that glides onto skin while providing ultimate protection.
