We be tanning yo!
**This was a post from late April.
I'm jetting off to Florida in a little over a week and will definitely be taking full advantage of the warm weather, sun, and ocean while I'm there. Although I innocently (really) stumbled upon an article on Yahoo today about the top 10 worst beaches for shark attacks. Way to go Florida. Anyway, I digress. I was hoping hoping hoping that April would be full of sunny, warm weekends so that I could lay in the backyard and get some color. No, the only sunny & warm days are on the days I work and I'm not desperate enough to pull a lawn chair out in the parking lot. I decided that there was no way I could go down there looking like, as my mother puts it, "a blade of grass that's been under a board all winter". And since Mother Nature was having too much fun with the spur of the moment snow storms, I decided to help my skin along.
I popped into the local tanning salon and signed up for 5 bed sessions. I'm totally committing my own cardinal sin of getting into these turbo Easy Bake ovens. I've had my own bout with skin cancer a few years ago and have since steered clear of these places. I know I know, please stop gasping but I've already justified these 5 sessions. Well, I wasn't turning into the nice color I was hoping for so I thought I'd give the Mystic Tan a try. I'd never done it and while I've done the sunless stuff on my legs, I thought what the heck...let's do the whole body! Definitely not as cheap as the beds but I guess they figure not killing yourself is not as cost effective. I had visions of recreating the episode of Friends where Ross does the spray tanning. If you haven't seen it, I've put the link to it at the end. Needless to say, I'm evenly tanned today even if I did inhale serious tanning fumes in the process and my hands are a little darker than desired. I am not Oompa Loompa-licious though...don't worry. I wish I had the $30K to put one of these puppies in my house! Now I just have to remember next week that while I may look like a Hawaiian Tropics girl, I can still burn like the pale Irish girl I am. Bummer...
