A New Leaf


I am hear to announce... that yesterday... I put on sunscreen.

SPF 45 to be exact. And I wasn't heading out to the pool, I simply slathered it on my arms, legs, and chest before going about my day.

As you may know I have been a long time sun worshiper. I bought my first tanning salon session when I was 16 years old. I have multiple tanning salon packages in multiple zip codes. I've always loved being outside, lounging by the pool or beach, soaking up the sun rays with a great book. I would use tanning oil with SPF 8 or 15 and figure that it was sufficient protection, then enjoy my golden brown tan.

But today I am a new woman. I now wear sunscreen (who am I!!!) Seriously though, I don't want wrinkles, freckles, or even worse melanoma, so action needs to start somewhere. Just as I try to keep a "healthy" diet (vegetarian + junkfood), I am now vowing to take care of my skin. Plus I am totally loving Coola's organic sunscreen, $32 here. And you know what! I feel really good.
