Feature: Life is a Beach. I'm just playing in the sand.

Hello lovelies~ hope all of you had a great week! My quiz ended up being more difficult than I had thought. It was kinda lame though since the quiz was on 2 articles and a story the professor wrote on his life and whatever and he expected us to know such specific details...like names of schools and exact numbers. Aish. Oh well. I bs-ed my way through it so, we'll see.

Anyways, like I had mentioned before, I sunburned so badly last Sunday. I decided to wear my near swimsuit with a black tank that had deep, low cut arm holes since I did want to get a tan. BUT, being the brilliant person I am, I didn't apply any sunscreen from my shoulders to all the way down my back. I'm pretty fair skinned, but I don't burn that easily IF I apply some kind of SPF. Yeah, I don't know what happened but I ended not applying any and now, I suffer the slow process of recovery.

This was right after we got home. Not as red. More on the pink side.

The worst was the next two days. Wearing anything with straps hurt soo much since the burn was still "fresh." Sleeping and showering was also hard since it hurt whenever any pressure was applied to it. I kept apply the aloe we had to the affected areas. My mom suggested that I use this product called "Solar Cane" which is supposed to give instant relief by cooling, moisturizing, and relieving the itch.

SO PAINFUL...T_T

It sprays "upside down" meaning, I can just alternate my hands and reach my entire back. Pretty convenient.

But, starting yesterday (June 7), I felt a huge difference. The burn stopped hurting, and instead, it itched like crazy. lol. I don't know if that's any better, but I prefer itching over pain. Now, my burn is turning colors; from red to brown. I showed my mom and she said it's healing. But seriously, it looks like I have some skin disease. :3 -sigh-

Here are some more happier pictures prior to being burned:

:]

RAWR.

The sun that showed itself for at most...15-20min. *shakesfist*

My sister was smart...I should've joined her in this fort. lol

Grubbin' on Wahoo Taco! Nom nom.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS APPLY SPF NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO. The suns rays are super powerful and even if it shines only for a little while, the rays are that intense to damage skin. It's always better to be safe than sorry. =/ It was the first time in a very long time, exposing my back to direct sunlight...and look what happened. I usually do apply SPF when going to the beach, but I don't know what happened. Oh well. Now it's time for the waiting game; the wait for it all to peel. Ew. :3

Do you guys have any recommendations for all over body SPF/sunscreens?

And what # SPF do you guys use/look for in a sunscreen?

Ok, end of my story time. XDHope all of you have a lovely weekend!! Stay cool and well protected! (SPF of course...lol)
