News Flash: Sunburns are no longer cool
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
One thing I forgot to mention in my last post, I got SO BURNT this weekend. I can list my excuses for not wearing long sleeves or using more sun screen, but that won’t do anyone any good.
When I was a lifeguard in high school and college I would just let myself get burnt once in the beginning of the summer, and then I would never have to wear sunscreen for the rest of the summer. It was this funny little contest that I would have with the rest of the guards.
While it sucks to admit that I’ve gotten old and more “mature” I do have to say that I’ve realized that getting sun burned is no longer cool or funny. But it does make for some pretty funny swimming pictures.
I’m totally investing in some arm warmers and a big ‘ol bottle of sun screen this season. IT HURTS!
