Nothing like a little sunshine

Well, the countdown continues, and tomorrow is my last day of school, and we leave for the beach on FRIDAY! :D I can't believe that I'll be seeing the sweet ocean and that soft sand in just 3 days! (we'll actually get there on Saturday) Now, in preparation for this glorious event, I thought it might be a good idea to go tanning ahead of time!

I've always been a pale person with sensitive skin. I do believe that "pale" is quite an understatement. I look like paper, and doctors have often thought I was anemic :/ The tanning process has usually been necessary in trips to the beach, but most of these times have gone better than this.

In addition to being practically see through, I have very dry and sensitive skin. Because of this, I have to take things slow. I usually go for about 2 weeks, every other day. This time, I got a great deal, and am only signed up for one, going every day. Again I took things slow, but have definately hit a road block. My tanning lotion apparently has NO SPF or sunblock in it. And, although I was only going for 6 minutes at a time, I get red and puffy after each session.

They upgraded my bed level the other day, and when I came home, not only was I red and puffy, I was also tingly and itchy!!!!! Don't worry, this has happened before, but that does not change the fact that it does not feel good!!!! So, at this point, I may just go once more and then load on the SPF 75 at the beach!

All of this to say that even after 4 tanning sessions, NO ONE can tell that I've gone! ...and I've asked!!! :/ Oh, well! I still plan on having a great time at the beach!
