Hey Ashley! You and I may be forced to go to the tanning bed since we are NEVER going to get sun. There's a place not too far from us that has bronzer beds. One of my clients went one time and I could tell a difference. It's not cheap, but you don't have to go as long or as often to get some color. If you're interested let me know and I'll give you more details.
Be careful of those beds if you are really fair skinned. I was using a stand up type last year several times and decided to switch it up and use a bed once. I was a lobster for a few days after that with less time. Same level as the stand-up so i think it is because the bulbs were much closer.
Check groupon in your area, here in Dallas there are many that offer coupons on groupon for both spray and bed tannng
