Flashback Friday: Self Tanner

Okay, so I'm sure most of us (women) have used self tanner at some point. Well, my first experience was quite embarrassing. It was football season of my freshman year in high school, and although summer had just passed, I still felt like quite the weda (white girl). Well, I didn't know there are certain ways to rub self tanner in, so I applied it, went to sleep, and woke up in the morning with the WORST, ORANGE streaks on my legs. Not only were my legs full of streaks, but my arms were, too!! Pretend to rub lotion on your legs right now, and you'll see how my arms made contact with the lotion.


So...normally, I could wear jeans, a long sleeve t-shirt, and get by for a day (it was Friday). But oooh no, not only was it still above 90, but it was football season; thus, I had to wear my cheer uniform to school all day. I did have my jacket that I wore all day (in the HOT Texas-is-this-still-summer? day..). But I had no way to hide my legs. There they were, for the whole world to see, orange streaks and all.

That is too funny. I've definitely can relate to your pain. My problem is always with the ankles, and elbows soaking more in than the rest of me, so they turn freakishly brown. I never knew to put normal lotion on first, but makes sense. That picture of you is so cool. I Love it.

Where was your mama? Didn't she teach you things like that? Haha. Self-tanner has come a long way. Thank goodness!
