Names Chosen Carefully

I swung into the spaceship’s kitchen with plans to grab a snack before unpacking the bags from our latest supply run, but I paused. Coals was there showing Eggskin a screen of color swatches, and it didn’t look like a menu. Could have been something medical, since Eggskin handled both the feeding and the healing of the crew, though the conversation I’d walked in on said no.

“Vehicles are an option, but I don’t know what kind are popular there,” Coals said. He acknowledged me with a nod. “And an unfavorable skimmer model would be almost as bad as an activity that’s culturally iffy.”

Eggskin was nodding thoughtfully, tapping a claw against their lizardy chin. “The activities are probably easier to research. But I do think that either a generalized space theme or something referring to home would be the way to go.”

“Yeah, but which?” Coals asked with a sigh, staring at the handscreen. “Space might be too common, or trying too hard, and home stuff might not make sense to anyone there, including the kids.”

I must have looked like a confused dog, standing there with my head cocked. Coals took pity on me. “My cousin wants advice on what to name his clutch when it hatches,” he said, holding out the handscreen. Up close, I could see that each color swatch was scales. “This is their best guess about the likely colors.”

“Ohh,” I said. “Got it.”

Eggskin asked Coals, “Are they familiar with nearly-hatched eggs, and color distortion? Many new parents guess wrong.”

I reflected that Eggskin, whose full name was “Skin of the Egg that is Translucent and Ready to Hatch,” had probably thought about the concept pretty often. Their own scale color looked more like boogers than any egg I’d ever seen, but I’d never been privy to a Heatseeker hatching. I assume other colors would show through.

Coals nodded his brick-red snout. “They live near family. Plenty of chances to observe. And he’s been there for brainstorming names on the ol��� home planet, and his mate has too, but that’s not very helpful now.” He glanced up at me. “They just moved to a space station.”

“Are there not many Heatseekers there?” I asked.

“A few, but it’s a very intercultural place. That’s why they wanted my opinion, since I travel around so much. Thought I might have some valuable insights.”

I leaned against a counter, trying not to loom. “What have you got so far?”

Coals sighed deeply. “A lot of doubts. References to home could be great, but they might just be confusing to everyone. What kind of names would you expect to hear with these?” He showed me the screen again.

I was about to object that I was hardly an expert on Heatseeker names, then the palest one caught my eye and I laughed. “Humans would nickname that one Popcorn,” I said, pointing at the white-and-yellow image.

“Popcorn?” Coals looked at it. “What is—”

“It’s food,” I said. “A popular snack from Earth. I wouldn’t expect that to be anybody’s real name though; it’s much too whimsical and silly. Well. At least with my cultural background.”

Coals and Eggskin both looked at the colors without saying anything for a long moment. Then Coals turned the screen to me again. “Would humans of your background have food associations for the others too?”

“Well,” I said, wondering whether I was just hungry. “That one looks exactly like mint chip ice cream. Oh, and that one’s cookie & cream.” They really were; it was uncanny. “I didn’t know you guys had scale patterns with that many speckles.”

“You should see my cousin,” Coals said. “He looks like a starfield. His mate is a simple dark maroon, though. Between the two of them, the genetics are all over the place. What about these other three?”

I looked at the brown-with-red, the yellow-speckled-brown, and the deep purple. “Red velvet cake, dijon mustard, and plum. Or maybe grape. But that doesn’t make as good of a nickname. You aren’t actually going to suggest these, are you? Naming the kids after another planet’s food seems like everyone might expect them all to be familiar with that planet. Pretty sure a couple of those foods might actually be poisonous to you, too.” I flicked a glance at Eggskin, who was thankfully nodding in agreement.

“Naming a child after a toxic foreign food would do them no favors,” Eggskin said. “An adult might wear such a name proudly, but I would fully expect a youth to be pressured into eating their namesake at some point, especially if they lived somewhere it was readily found.”

I nodded too, looking to Coals.

“But,” Coals said. “It doesn’t have to be foreign food.”

I started to ask what he meant, then suddenly remembered a bit of cultural trivia. “It’s good luck to name spaceships after food, right? Does that go for people too?”

Eggskin chuckled while Coals stared intently at the colors. “It can,” Eggskin said. “It’s rather bold, though. An audacious claim that a set of parents can confer enough luck on all their offspring for them to always have food available. Very daring.” They looked at Coals with an amused expression, which Coals didn’t look up to see.

“That fits my cousin surprisingly well,” he said instead.

I smiled. “Are there Heatseeker foods that would fit these colors?”

“I can think of several.” Coals changed the screen to a text field and began typing. “This is perfect. Thank you so much.”

“Happy to help!” I said.

Eggskin suggested, “Be sure to remind them they should research any food they’re considering, and find out what associations their new neighbors are likely to have. Some things translate terribly.”

“No kidding!” I laughed, standing up and moving toward the snack cabinet. “I still remember the spaceships Worm Jerky and Raw Flesh.”

Hand Lotion with Sunscreen: Your Anti-Aging Secret

Have you ever noticed how your hands can sometimes look older than your face? The sun's a major culprit, but there's a simple solution waiting for you – hand lotion with sunscreen. Think of it as your secret weapon against wrinkles, age spots, and rough, dry skin! Why Your Hands Need Sunscreen Think about how often your hands are exposed to the sun's harmful rays. Driving, gardening, even walking the dog means your hands get a big dose of UVA and UVB rays. These rays cause: - Age Spots: Those pesky brown spots that make your hands look older. - Wrinkles: The sun weakens collagen, making your skin thin and crepey. - Dryness: No one likes rough, "lizard-like" hands! Sunscreen + Lotion = Beautiful Hands Hand lotion with sunscreen makes sun protection super simple. It's the perfect two-in-one solution: - Convenience: No need to apply sunscreen separately when you moisturize. - Protection: SPF in your lotion means you're protected throughout the day. - Hydration: Keeps hands soft and supple, even with frequent washing. Myth: "I don't need sunscreen on my hands in the winter." Fact: The sun's sneaky! It even damages your skin when it's cold and cloudy. What to Look for in a Hand Lotion with Sunscreen Choosing the right product makes all the difference. Here's what to keep in mind: - SPF: Aim for at least SPF 30 for everyday protection. If you spend lots of time outdoors, go higher! - Ingredients: Look for hydrating stars like hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and ceramides to combat dryness. - Broad Spectrum: This is a MUST. It means the lotion protects against both wrinkle-causing UVA rays and burning UVB rays. - Texture: Choose something that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave your hands feeling greasy. Tips for Using Hand Lotion with Sunscreen - Apply Often: Reapply every two hours if you're outside, and after each time you wash your hands. - Don't Skimp: Use a generous amount– enough to cover your hands entirely. - Pay Attention: Target areas people often miss, like the tops of your hands, between your fingers, and around your nails. Ingredients to Look For IngredientBenefitsHyaluronic AcidSuper hydrator, plumps fine linesGlycerinDraws in moisture, keeps skin softCeramidesStrengthen the skin barrier, prevent drynessAloe VeraSoothes irritation, cools sun-exposed skinVitamin EAntioxidant, protects against sun damage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Benjamin Franklin (This applies to sunscreen too!) Best Hand Lotions with Sunscreen Finding the perfect hand lotion with sunscreen can be overwhelming with so many options. To make it easier, here's a quick roundup: - Best Overall: Supergoop! Handscreen SPF 40 (Supergoop! website: https://supergoop.com/) - Perks: Super-lightweight, fast-absorbing, powerful antioxidant protection. - Drugstore Favorite: CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen Hand Lotion SPF 30 (CeraVe website: https://www.cerave.com/) - Perks: Affordable, non-greasy, packed with hydrating ceramides. - For Sensitive Skin: Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen Lotion SPF 60 (Aveeno website: https://www.aveeno.com/) - Perks: Free of fragrance and common irritants, with soothing oat extract. - Luxurious Pick: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Body and Hand Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 60 (La Roche-Posay website: https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/sun/anthelios-spf-60-outdoor-sunscreen-set-antheliossunscreenset.html) - Perks: Velvety matte finish, leaves skin feeling silky-smooth. Important Note: Always read the label! Choose a hand lotion with sunscreen that suits your skin type and specific needs! FAQs Q: Does hand lotion with sunscreen prevent skin cancer? A: Yes! While sunscreen alone isn't a guarantee, it significantly lowers your risk of skin cancer, including on your hands. Q: Can I use regular sunscreen on my hands? A: You can, but it might feel heavy or sticky. Lotions made for hands are usually lighter and more comfortable. Q: Do I need to apply separate lotion without sunscreen too? A: It depends on how dry your hands get. If your hand lotion with sunscreen provides enough moisture, you're good to go! If not, layer an extra hydrating lotion underneath. Conclusion Think of hand lotion with sunscreen as a little act of kindness for your hands. With regular use, you'll notice a difference in the look and feel of your skin. Softness, hydration, and protection – it truly is your anti-aging secret weapon! Key Takeaways - The sun causes major damage to the hands, leading to wrinkles, age spots, and dryness. - Hand lotion with sunscreen is a simple way to protect and hydrate your skin. - Choose hand lotions with SPF 30+, hydrating ingredients, and a texture you love. - Apply frequently throughout the day, especially after handwashing.

DoYouGet.Me? Has always trier to keep prices low on all the designs we offer and on top of that has offered free shipping in the US and $12 flat rate international shipping. As a result often times it costs me more in hard costs than I make from any DYGM sale. Starting after the first of the year I will be charging standard shipping rates and will only provide free US shipping on total orders over $35 (pretty much like the rest of the world. And even other sites have a much higher minimum order amount for free shipping). So there is only about 1 more week to take advantage of the FREE US SHIPPING without a minimum order.
