So I went to Mexico This Week...

....and I am pretty sure that I am the only girl on the planet who can say that after spending a week in Mexico, she came home whiter than she started off. 

Observe the picture above. My legs have a little bit of color, do they not? Yes! 

(That was taken on the first day)

(At the resort...also taken on the first day)

At the end of the week, everyone had become a beautiful golden bronze, whilst I lagged behind, literally whiter than I started off, thank you genetics.

Trust me guys, I have tried time and time again to tan my legs.

When I was in Italy, I wore shorts every day and barely, if at all, applied sunscreen. I ended up with white legs and a rash. Awesome.

So I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: The spray-on tan.

Now, go ahead and take your little moment of judgement, because I know that's what you're doing. Feel better? Great. 

Here are the pros of this method:

1. If you go to the right person, they do it well, and it doesn't look streaky or orange

2. It moisturizes your skin

3. It smells amazing (once again, you have to go to the right person, or else it might smell pretty weird)

4. No freckles or wrinkles from sun damage

5. No skin cancer. And we all know how much I am avoiding that one.

..and the cons:

1. It only lasts about 6 days, and then it starts to look pretty streaky and terrible. 

(Say goodbye to the shorts after day six)

2. You can't shower for 24 hours after you get it, and that makes you feel grody.

oh, would you look at that? Five to Two. I think we have ourselves a winner.

Girls with genes like mine do not really have that many options, you know?

Try to tan, burn instead, get skin cancer. 

Or, pay twenty bucks and enjoy a few days of pretending. 

Here am I, with the crew in Puerto Penasco on the third day, wearing shorts, a lovely first for me

I choose the latter, and all you people who think I'm exaggerating, get a look at the white on me after 5 days in Mexico:

Ow, ow! Beautiful, blinding white. And believe me, I was in the sun constantly.

 Apparently one of my callings in life is to simply make those around me feel tan, and
So far I have a 100% success rate. 
Misión Cumplida.

Oh, and by the way, Mexico was fabulous. I'll post more pictures soon. :)
