Tingle? Yeah, tingle my ass!
I had a really nice weekend. I didn't do much but that's ok because I needed to recover 100% from whatever bug I caught. I went shopping and got lots of stuff. At one store I got a pair of slacks, a pair of jeans, and a shirt. At another store I got 2 more shirts and a new wallet. And last weekend I bought 3 new halter tops. I bought so many new clothes I had to go buy more hangers! ha ha
Yesterday I went to the pool with my friend Mary. She has this tanning lotion she wanted me to try. I never wear lotion. I don't think I need it and I hate how it feels. But she convinced me to try hers because it has "tingle." She said that meant that it opened your pores and was better for your skin because you tan at a deeper level instead of just damaging your top layer of skin over and over again. So I gave it a shot and rubbed it on my legs, arms, stomach, and then the rest on my face. About 5 minutes later my skin started burning! I mean it really burned! Not like a sunburn but more like...ok someone is pouring pure acid on me burning. Mary was sitting there all comfy and goes, "Oh that's just the tingle...it might hurt the first time." That's the TINGLE? TINGLE? Why do they call it tingle!?!?! They should call it WATCH THE FUCK OUT THIS IS GOING TO BURN! Mary was laughing at me because I was squirming and complaining so much. Finally her and Eric were like, "Becca! Just go get in the pool!" So I get up and jump into the pool. This felt good.....at first. Mary walks casually over to the pool and tells me, "Actually, I'm sorry but water might make it worse." MARY!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME? So for the next half hour I spend my time trying to wipe this shit off my skin. Needless to say I will NOT be using lotion ever again.
