Confessions of a Sunscreen Nazi

In May, I posted about the vile effects of the sun on the skin, sunscreen, and sunless tanners. I shared my heart in order to prepare my dear reader[s] for safe summertime fun in the sun [heehee!]. :) For those of you who may be new to my 'green eyed view' and haven't read this post, please take a few moments to familiarize yourself. Now, I will warn you, it is a rather long post. But don't worry, I'll wait for you..........really, go ahead..........its ok, really.............go on........DO IT!.......... .......

ok, you got it? Good. So, as you can see, I have taken a pretty firm stance on this particular subject..... which leads me to my next point.....

My friends, I must confess my trangression: I HAVE FAILED YOU ALL(SOB!)! I haven't practiced my teachings (sob!)!! I am no longer worthy to hold the title of The Sunscreen Nazi (sob!)!!! I have grown lax in my daily application of sunscreen. In fact, it has been a several weeks since I have taken the time to coat my exposed skin [with the exception of my face...I ALWAYS do that...] with SPF 30. So now I must say, "Hello, my name is Sarah, and I have gone outside with unprotected skin. It has been 31 days since my last application."

I became quite irritated at myself yesterday afternoon while in my car with my windows down. The sun was beating down on my arm, and I could feel my poor skin frying. I realized that I had once again forgotten to apply sunscreen. Then, this morning, a friend sent me an article on sun exposure. I was shamed. The Nazi has become The Hypocrite......sigh...... I have confessed my transgression, and I am typing before you today to re-commit my sunscreen practices! Pale is BEAUTIFUL!! haha! ;)
