I need a suntan. The weather is getting hotter, my clothes are getting skimpier, but my skin is still pale, pale, pale. Back in my younger days, when all I had to worry about was not tripping while getting on the school bus in front that cute boy, I had plenty of time to lounge about in the sunshine. Now that I work a so called 9 to 5 (let's be honest, its more like 8 to 5:30- all this time I've been lied to) it's much more difficult to spend leisurely time basking in the sun.

And when I do catch a glimpse of rays on the weekend, my skin is probably slathered in chemical free, non-whitening, oil free, waterproof, natural, and environmentally friendly 50+ sun block that promises not to clog my pores. After all, I've got the future of my skin and the planet to worry about these days. So the harsh reality is that this skin will be staying pale for quite some time. If I'm lucky, I might tan a few shades by August.
