PrOs & CoNs


Well, I got back from the tanning salon a long time ago, but I just wanted to write my thoughts on the first time of me actually getting a tan.

Cons:
1.I had no idea I was claustrophobic. That thing, well, yeah, it's a coffin, a big, blue, light bulb coffin.

2. The glasses. There is freaking warnings EVERYWHERE that if you take off your tanning glasses... you will pretty much be blinded, pretty- lickens-quickly. I'm laying there, and I felt like my glasses kept falling off. Scary momentos.

3. Cancer! lol, i'm only doing this for 9 days (until the wedding) but I have Wayhayy too much skin cancer in my family. Scary thought.

Pros:
1. I got pretty amazing freckles already for 5 minutes of this. If I do this, every single day for 9 days, I'll be covered. (By-the-way, sunburn wise, I didn't get any! I only got some mild redness on my face, which went away in about a hour.)

2. The ability to make you look thinner! Chubby/blubbery cheeks+Tan/freckles=High cheek-bones/Thinness!


So. There we go. Tanning galore!

Tanning Salon?

My sister Sarah has convinced me and my other sister Jessica, to go tanning.
Sarah, is the ultimate tanner, and she takes from my Dad's side, who, well, they just tan amazing. But, me and Jessica, are, the whitest of the whites. We're both redheads, and we sunburn like out of the wazoo.
With Jessica's wedding coming up on May 2nd, We do need to get a little more tan. Jess doesn't have as many bad tan lines as I do from my trip to Florida, (It's really funny actually, I have "freckle lines" from my bathing suit that is completely white, right next to a completely-covered-in-freckles on my back)

This is my first real "tanning salon experience" and frankly, I'm freaked out. I'm scared i'm going to come out like a shriveled up tomato.

I sunburn too easily. I feel like the worry-wart of a mother who wrings her hands, exclaiming: "Oh dear, oh dear, that's not good, not good at all"

So yes. I'm leaving in 15 minutes to L.A Tan. How excited art me? So, if you're coming to the wedding, don't laugh at the red-and-orange-teal-parachute walking down the aisle.
Haha.
