On the Subject of Tanning.

Do. Not. Want.

My mom is tanning right now.
She looks really good when she's tan: she doesn't get that weird bronze-y color, she just get brown. But coco brown, not poo brown. And it's hot.
But I hate that she uses tanning beds.
One session in a tanning bed increases your chances to develope skin cancer by more than 50%. My mom works in the sun-- when she goes to work, that is. That alone makes puts her at risk. Why double your chances just to look good?

I'd rather live pastey white than die beautifully bronzed.

  1. Agree. If she wants the tanned look, she could always just go to the tanning booth & get sprayed with the stuff. Completely risk-free health-wise.
