Shallow Gal

WARNING: This post may contain some or all of the following: graphic language, graphic images, nudity, course language, satire, degradation, shallow thoughts, shallow ideas, stuff my mom will raise an eyebrow at, stuff anyone would raise an eyebrow at, lingerie, skin, jokes of a narcissistic nature, debasement, low standards, high standards, humour, debauchery and a plethora of obscene material to shake a stick at…or whatever it is you want to shake. Or maybe none of any of that.

Slightly less than six weeks ago, I made the monumental decision to give up chocolate and excess sugars. For any that know me, you would know that this was an undertaking of monumental proportions. However, my near-addiction to chocolate was getting out of hand. Some days would include an Eatmore bar and two packs of Cadbury’s Mini Eggs. Anyone would be a fool not to know that such a habit is certainly not good for the blood sugar level, and most certainly not good for the waist.

To say that giving up such foods has reaped a benefit would be an understatement.

Shedding the sugar equated to shedding the belly fat.

Secondly, slightly less than two weeks ago, I very conciously made the decision to become a hypocrite - to a degree. For long I have been a huge advocate for SPF and practicing safe sun. Don’t get me wrong - I still believe that it is important to take precaution outside, and I will still lobby for safe sun practices. However, on the flip side of the dime, I started tanning. I started slathering my skin with accelerator and laid under hot UV lights to crisp my skin. Keep in mind that my skin is naturally pale and delicate, and I wasn’t convinced that it would work in the slightest. I was wrong.

I’m getting a lovely glow.

I have scheduled an appointment for a boob job next week.

It’s a work in progress.

Nope, that’s not a nipple. You aren’t that lucky.

Just kidding about the boob job. What do you take me for? You think I can afford boobs with these student loans?

I thought the glow was from too much Pinot..

hot bod baby!
I really can’t believe your tanning now!
The way I see it…
While I’m in Mexico even if I were to slather on lotion non stop, I’m still gonna get burnt somewhere somehow, so I might as well prep my bod in a controlled environment, and then be careful with to much sun in mex.
Ah, I love my tan :)

Hahaha, well, here’s my justification:

You do, to some degree, need the vitamin D that comes from UV, etc. So if I’m going tanning, and thus controlling the amount of UV I’m exposed to (and wearing sunblock whenever outside), then really, I’m monitoring the exposure to my skin in an efficient way.

I think you’re gonna look slammin’ with your Mexitan. Not that you don’t already look slammin’, cuz you do!

Love you, lovey.

I’m the opposite — that is, I darker skin by nature (enough that I seem to “hold” a slight tan during the winter). However, I tried tanning once and was pleasantly surprised as well.

Good job on the sugar…

im not going to lie… i loved tanning when i tanned back in highschool… i was like lindzy lohan when she went through her tanarexic phase!!eek! but being whiter than an alberta winter and having a dermatologist who tells me horror stories i just cannot do it any longer… but yeah i agree the warmth and the happy vitamin D spike are like a drug! i just dont have the money for botox later in life ha ha ha
