Spray on Tan

My summer has been filled with adventures thus far! Days of reading, swimming, camping and watching endless hours of reality tv has now become what a typical day looks like for me and, even though i have felt bored at times, i know that i will never have this chance again to just ... do nothing.

On my lovely Quest for Greatness through the summer something was missing. A tan.
My Washingtonian skin was not adapting well to the endless days of sunshine that our state was all of a sudden having. I will be in Arizona home of the 100 plus days soon and i wanted to make sure that when i did eventually get to AZ i would not look like such an outsider. I wanted to look like a sun kissed Phoeniz goddess.

Keep in mind that i was thinking all of this when i was striping down and ignoring all warnings that i had heard.

I will not regret any tanning decision that i made but, if i had to rewind i would rather have just rolled around in the mud. :\

My face was as dark as an African, half of my body was a different color and i may have been allergic to it since the itching did not stop for days!!

Two weeks later i am still paying for my decision because now i am softly fading in different parts of my body. To the person walking down the street, i may look like a disease ridden hospital patient but, have no fear it was just an unwise beauty decision.

What was the lesson i learned? Be content with your looks and know that even people in AZ are white.
