Here Comes the Sun.


School is out, summer is coming and you know what that means. Frolicking in the newly found sunshine! (And yes, I just used the word 'frolicking.' Just wait, it will make a comeback this season.) But it also means it’s that time of the year to use protection... for your skin! You guessed it. The Sunscreen Post. All of you are probably sick of hearing the constant lecturing on the subject so I'll just make it a quick and painless reminder rather than a Sunday School sermon.

I really wanted to do a post about sunblock because it is super important that you protect your skin! You can argue, "Oh come on Mika, cancer won't happen to me. Its just old people." LIES. Skin cancer can happen to anyone at anytime and let me tell you, medical bills don't come cheap (insurance or not.) Wouldn't you want to use those thousands of dollars on something fun like a car (or a few fabulous pairs of shoes,) rather than something that could have been avoided?

You know what else the sun does to your skin? Premature aging. I don't know a single girl who wants to look like she is part African Elephant in the near, and I mean very near future. I will agree, tans are so hot! They make you look more toned and if you have one, you aren't going to blind anyone if you are really white and you get in your cute swimsuit. (I'm dead serious about blinding people too. It has happened on multiple occasions.) But wrinkly leather pretending to be skin is in no way, shape or form, sexy. I mean, just check out this little boys face below.

You can have a nice glow about you for the summer! Go with spray tanning. It is a safer method and is relatively cheap. Go to a local tanning salon and ask about their spray tans. If you uneasy about showing your bare necessities to a stranger, check out do-it-at-home products. Just be really careful with these because despite what Jersey Shore says, looking like an Oompa Loompa is not sexy either. I hope everyone has a blast this summer and remember to practice safe sun!

You know the drill, post comments and/or questions. Got some sun tips? Let us know! :)

Love, Mika.
