There is nothing better than the warm, crisp feeling I get after a sunny day spent on my beach towel with a good book and cold drink. I know it was a good beach day when I walk back to my house and there is sand in my toes and sunburn on my nose. In this case, I know the rest of my body received just enough sun to make me a shade darker than before. I love being tan. The warm brown or rich walnut color my skin gets puts a smile on my face like no other colors in the world. Being tan reminds me of my favorite place in the world, the beach. So, when my skin looks like it just walked off the tropical shores of Puerto Rico or Barbados, I cannot prevent my cheerful and joyful mood from shining through. But besides the wonderful feeling I get, here are a few more reasons I love being tan!
1. Any color looks good on you.via GIPHY
