Move over Scentsy Chef...there's a new party in town!

I have said it before and I will say it again...everyone looks better with a tan. It makes clothes look better, lip gloss look brighter, arms look slimmer, and it really just puts a smile on peoples faces. I would put money on the fact that most girls feel better about themselves in the summer time vs. winter simply due to the fact that their skin has a tint of gold.

Although I am obsessed with being tan, I'm not obsessed with the fact that I had a little skin cancer scare last year. I am irish, I have freckles, and I had a very small basel cell on my eye lid. Everything is fine, they removed it with ease and you would never be able to tell it was there. BUT...I am now more cautious when it comes to tanning. I refuse to be pale but am not a moron. I know that it isn't smart for me to fry my skin like I did during spring break so many years ago. Because of this, I have discovered spray tanning and I'm hooked! I usually go to a salon near my house, pay my $25 and stand in a booth for 10 seconds as a cool mist covers my body. It's quick, easy, and within minutes, I'm "tan", well I guess you can call it tan compared to my normal pale skin. The booth is far from ideal, but until recently I thought that was the only choice I had here besides buying a self tanner from the store. Luckily I happened to find out about this new mobile spray tanning company who offers "spray tan parties", so I jumped at the opportunity to gather my girlfriends and introduce them to my new found love.

I mean seriously, if someone is going to have a house party, do they really want to sit in your living room, look at baskets, candles, or tupperware, and sip on soda? No way. Who wouldn't pay $25 to get tan and tipsy. I provided the wine and the girls brought over their pale, make-up less bodies to get bronze. Sunny, from West Coast Tanning set up her pop up tanning tent in my basement and we took turns going downstairs, stripping down, and having her tan us. As you can probably tell through my writing, I'm not a modest person. I opted to get sprayed in a thong and nothing else. I think my next venture will be completely nude. You don't have to bare it all, you can wear a bathing suit, bra and undies, whatever you feel comfortable in. It seriously was the perfect Thursday night. Friends, several bottles of wine, and a beautiful tan. I couldn't ask for more.



20 minutes before this...I was the palest thing you have ever seen. OBSESSED with the spray tan! I'm already looking forward to my next party and staying tan all through the winter!
