Summer is here and we are sharing how to make the most of it for you and your family.

To start us off it is officially summer sports season and kids are hitting fields across the country working up a sweat. What comes along with sports? Lots of stinky laundry. In fact, a single sock can contain more than 8 million odor-causing bacteria. To take care of stink, a go-to is Lysol Laundry Sanitizer. It kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria the first time, every time – when used as directed.

To help you strike out even more stink this summer, Lysol’s team of bacteria-fighting scientists are hitting the road and bringing mobile Lysol Labs to youth sporting events across the country to teach people about the millions of odor-causing bacteria that could be lingering in your laundry in stinky clothes and how Lysol Laundry Sanitizer can help. There will be games and prizes and all kinds of fun stuff. To find out if the Lysol Lab is coming to a city near you, visit @lysol on Instagram.

Now speaking of sports, Planet Fitness is doing something really cool to make sure teens are staying active this summer. A recent Planet Fitness survey found that 61% of teens face mental health struggles and 93% appreciate how fitness can positively impact their lives. So it’s  important to make sure teens are staying active during the summer months when academic and extracurricular activities such as sports, gym class and after-school programs have paused. A solution is Planet Fitness’ High School Summer Pass Program, which provides all teens with a free, safe space – a truly judgment free zone – to prioritize their mental and physical wellbeing while school is not in session.

Now through August 31, Planet Fitness is inviting high schoolers ages 14 to 19 to work out for free at any of its more than 2,400 locations in the U.S. and Canada.

The program was created to motivate teens to start (and keep!) a fitness routine, in order to enhance their overall physical and mental health, while encouraging healthy changes and habits they can begin at a younger age and maintain as they get older. Teens can sign up online or in-club today at planetfitness.com/summerpass. Planet Fitness will also be awarding five lucky teens and the top five schools in the U.S. with $10,000 scholarships. For all of these details and more, visit planetfitness.com/summerpass.

Last but not least, another important part of feeling your best is looking and smelling your best, so here's a must for after that workout, Old Spice Gentleman’s Blend Exfoliating Body Wash. It has a rich, creamy lather that removes dirt and oil while hydrating the skin at the same time. It actually gives you 24/7 moisturization and exfoliation and comes in two fab scents: Himalayan Sea Salt & Glacier Water and Brown Sugar & Cocoa Butter. Both are endorsed by the Skin Health Alliance, which is a global organization of independent dermatologists and skin scientists, so you know it is great for skin. It’s just $7.99 which makes it even better.
