We all have our own thing that's considered our, "me time." Some people do weekly nail appointments, yoga, watch a movie by themselves, or even binge out on he or she's favorite Netflix show alone. My "me time" is spray tanning! I feel so much better when I am actually tan and it's twenty minutes of the day that I just take to look good and feel better about myself. It is also perfect for me. Because of health reasons I can't tan in a tanning bed and I simply burn in the sun. There are downsides of spray tanning, though. I feel like Ross Geller will help me explain certain struggles that fellow spray tanners can relate to.
1. You know the machine is going to turn on. You know mist is going to come flying at you. You know to remain calm. Yet your reaction is still a little something like this.
2. You've heard a thousand times to hold your body position right so it will spray you all over and not miss a spot. Unfortunately, sometimes you still come out looking like this.
3. When someone ask if your tan is natural and you're shyly like. ..
4. The day you decide to go get a spray tan and you're not supposed to get wet for 6 hours, but it starts pouring down raining when you leave the tanning salon. So you find yourself yelling at mother nature.
5. When someone makes an unnecessarily rude comment about how people who spray tan must be fake and you're just like...
6. You forget to rub your feet down after the spray, so you get to walk around with your feet looking like white socks.
7. And then someone points it out and you're like...
8. You ask your best friend's opinion on a scale from 1 to 'Snookie' orange how bad it is, but they hesitate so you just sit there.
9. When you tell the girls at the front desk instead of your normal shade, three, you want to go up a shade. But now you feel like you went up five shades and now you're a walking nacho cheese Doritos chip.
10. If you're like me you're gonna fake it 'till you make it out of the tanning salon and tell them you love the color, but on the inside, you're screaming.
11. Now you get to go home so you can express your true emotions.
Despite all these struggles you can't stay away from spray tanning. Especially if you're like me and look like Casper the friendly ghost's sister. Happy spray tanning!
