Your lips dry out ten times faster than the rest of your face. Keep yours smooth, moisturized and healthy all season long by choosing the right lip balm. Choose ointment-based balms made with petrolatum, essential oils or glycerin and avoid those with menthol and eucalyptus, which actually zap moisture.

Halfway into #AmericanHeartMonth, we still encourage you to #GoRedforWomen and do what you need to in order to bring awareness to heart disease and how we can prevent it together. ♥️

Happy #ValentinesDay! Spend quality time with loved ones today with a fun homemade craft! These heart-shaped bird feeders require only five ingredients and are perfect for little helping hands. #crafts #DIY ✅ 3/4 cup flour
✅ 1/2 cup water
✅ 2.5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
✅ 3 tablespoons corn syrup
✅ 4 cups birdseed

With a greased spoon, mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Grease a heart-shaped cookie cutter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Fill it with birdseed mixture and pack tightly. Use a chopstick or something similar to make a hole. Remove cookie cutter and repeat for as many feeders as desired. Let the feeders rest overnight, then loop ribbon or string through the hole. Hang on trees outside or give away as thoughtful gifts!

Your skills can save lives. This #AmericanHeartMonth, become certified in CPR and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and you could help adults, children and infants in need.
Even if you aren’t trained in CPR, it’s better to do something than nothing if you see someone experiencing cardiac arrest. Use both hands to administer steady chest compressions of 100 to 120 beats per minute until paramedics arrive.

Now that fccincinnati has their official kits, let’s keep the team ready to play in them! We are excited to announce that Mercy Health is the club’s official #healthcare provider! We’re excited to rise together and bring quality care and medical support to players, coaches, staff, and fans. 🔷🔶 #IgniteUnite #fccincinnati #soccer
