Okay, so this is my bloggin virginity about to dissapear. Good times. After debating with myself on what to write about, seeing as my life is pretty standard, good friend of mine Ericka, kindly highlighted my orange wrists. Now i don't know about you, but i generally like the idea of fake tan, it's more healthier for you than sun beds and well, the sun, but i HATE being pale, with a passion! Luckily for me i go very brown in the sun, this unfortuantely means that i fade extremely quickly, bad times indeed.
So there i go, on my todd to Boots thinking yeeeah this fake tan business will be doddle. I get to the fake tan aisle wat the effff am i meant to choose?not only is fake tan ridiculously over priced, but there are so many types. Is this the orange code or something? Okay so i see a deal, fake tan with a free mitt. BRILLIANT, orange free hands. Or so i thought!
Get home, decide i'm gonna go to town with this whole fake tan business, exfoliate moisturise and everything. Put my mitt on, which i must say, in hindsight i should have bought two, because you do need both hands for this! Stark naked in my room freezing my butt of and start applying the creme. Well easy. Get changed and then i find myself checking myself in the mirror to see it it's developing, hightly anticipating the level of 'brown' i'm going to go. All i wanted was to have a healthy glow.
The next day i wake, run to the mirror. JESUS, brown, i'm pretty chuffed at this point, got a healthy glow. Until i look at my hands. Now maybe i missed something, but i thought the whole idea of the mitt was to prevent your hands being orange, everyone knows this is the big give away and is highly unattractive. My boyfriend of four years says "Your hands look sick" Okay thanks, what am i meant to do. I have to rush off to work aka my journalism training, so i did'nt have any time to try and get this ridiculous mess of my hands. My cardigan became me disguise. However, girlfriend don't miss a thing. Ericka- " you look nice and brown, oooo wait your hands look pretty bad" Cheers mate, i love u for highlighting that to everyone (Y). Ericka had a point though it looked bloody awfull, although everyone found the funny side, and the banter was flowing. So this was my lesson learnt. Don't be fooled people, USE TWO MITTS.
Ciao for now.
Hanz =)
