We met friends for dinner and ended up at the #Cam We met friends for dinner and ended up at the #CambridgeDanceParty last night 🪩

It was fun with all the people dancing in the street (and a no kids evening for us). 😊 Sadly, I cannot recall if I ever went to one of those annual parties when I still lived there.

I won this @skin1004official Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit I won this @skin1004official Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ 🌞🧴🌊 in a giveaway on Picky and have taken it to the beach the last few times I went.

I love how light and hydrating it is while also waterproof and for both the face and body. Moreover, it's easy to layer a lot of product to really reach proper protection. 😎
