OMG, OL - when we were teenagers, we would BAKE out on the black roof of my parents house, slathered in baby oil.

We didn't care about what we were going to look like in 25-30 years now did we? I just knew I looked HOT with a good tan.:lolabove: My favorite thing to do was lay out in the sun. I still like to tan but I do use sunscreen. 30SPF at the beach and at least a 15 here. You know after you turn 40 it seems like every year you notice something new happening to you. This year for me (43) it's my arms and my hands. More freckles or age spots and the skin is not as firm as it used to be. And then I have 2 age/sun spots near my neckline. Does it keep going downhill from here?:angry:

Lemon juice in the hair & Crisco or baby oil to tan faster by the pool in the backyard. Tried the SunIn stuff, but my hair turned GREEN from chlorine reacting to it, ended up with a really short hair cut.

I pretty much didn't tan except for a few times in my 20's & now in my mid 30's, I'm trying to learn to use sunscreen because I don't want wrinkles yet!

In a nice place
I think you have a better shot of making it by tanning all day in the bed and ditching the Alex Jones addiction.:lol:
.

You want answers, do you want answers? so does he baby, Alex Jones Monday-Friday from 11:00-3:00 and on Sunday 4:00-6:00. I listen to him every weekday and got to say he has some great information on his sites. In fact I am listening to him right now.

As far as tanning goes, I just go to the beach.

Maybe you should do that Monday-Friday 11:00-3:00, and on Sunday 4:00-6:00.

Crisco!! Tanning aid of choice back in the day. No wonder I look like a piece of bacon. :shock:
