I am whiter than white

Wait, you're from Texas. What do you need to go to a tanning salon for? It's already in the 80s here. Why not just lay out under the sun on your own at home? Do it the natural way!

 

I burn in a strong flashlight beam, and like to say I'm 3/4 vampire. I've been tanning a month so i might not get a 4th degree sunburn like last year, lol. My pasty white Irish heritage, LOL. Pretanning is a good idea, particularly on parts that don't usually see the sun ;-)

 

Believe me. I thought of this, but laying out in the sun boors the crap out of me and I never know when to stop. I always seem to lay out too long on one side and end up getting burnt. Like blisters burnt. The tanning place started me out at 6 minutes and says they will work up from there.

If it doesn't work I will just write it off as a lesson learned. If it does work then I will still feel like I got snookered, but at least I will be a tan dumbass.:icon_lol:

 

I just bought a great lotion called PANDORA...its GREAT! It cost me $83.50 and I do believe that if you get the ones that have the BRONZERS in it, it will make all the difference

 

There are many sites out there, we have used this one before.

Me too! I go there and check out what is new and buy it off the internet (usually 1/2 price on ebay) :clappyinghappy:

 

I was planning to tan a bit before I leave but decided that I am going to be the white Canadian girl at TTR in April.. normally I wear a 40 sunblock anyways so why change now..hahah

 

I have learnt to wear a 50 or 60 on my arms and face and anything that is out of the water and a 30 on anything in the water. I have had some bad burn in the past even though I always do at least 300 mins. I also put a shirt on between 2-5 pm. The last couple trips I have had no burns and I come home very dark. I usually pay about 60.00 for 350 minutes.

 

Our weather has been horrible here. There have been a few breaks with some cloud cover but for the most part, we're busy shoveling sunshine. We did manage to take a break from all the shoveling to get a few scantily clad base tan sessions in.

We're ready to go on vacation and have someone else do all the shoveling.

 

Sounds like a great idea....... I have a hat and a bottle of sunscreen and if I remember correctly........ it's shady at the bar.:daveandmo:
