Day 23: A Habit You Wish You Didn't Have

Getting ~sunburned~

Yes, I know. It's not only a bad habit, but a painful one. Even a deathly one. And one that is easily remedied by simply applying that 45 SPF that all the magazines and doctors seem to be talking about. [I can also hear my dad in my head..."SONjaaa...(tsk, tsk, shaking of the head)..."] I just get sucked into the innocent thought that for "just a little while" I'll go SPF-less so I can get a little sun, a little tan...that seemingly rosy thought quickly spirals downward and turns, well, rosy. Quite literally. 

Oops. 

-Although-

I WILL say that the sunburn pictured above was a particularly harrowing experience that lasted weeks-the kind where you just want to walk around clothes-less because anything touching your skin feels like a million little burrs scraping off what little of it you have left. And it has actually inspired me to wear my sunscreen! Only 30 SPF, but it blocks the sun nonetheless...most of the time...
I mean, I still have to make all my mainland friends and family jealous that I live where I can get a tan burn on a daily basis ;)
