Don't you want to be beautiful?
Don't you want to be tan and beautiful?
I admit, I went to a tanning bed for a little while in college.
I also went a little bit during the summer after college.
My reasons were because I couldn't lay out and get a tan, I would look weird if I didn't.
That all changed once my mom was diagnosed with cancer.
I saw how painful chemotherapy was.
I saw how awful surgery recovery was.
I realized something that I hope others will realize:
Why would you purposely put yourself at MORE of a risk for cancer?
I don't smoke because it's gross but because I don't want lung cancer.
I go to the gynecologist to prevent cervical and ovarian cancer.
Why in the world would I go to a tanning bed?
Because being tan makes me more beautiful?
Because I get my Vitamin D?
So I don't have tan lines?
That's ridiculous.
NEWS FLASH:
No one cares how tan you are!
Don't get me wrong, I do prefer being tanner than paler. When I have the opportunity to lay out by the parents' pool, I do...but I put on massive amounts of sunblock to take preventions.
I can't help but hold my tongue when I hear brides talking about tanning,
almost as if it's a part of the wedding planning:
1. Dress
2. Hair
3. Nails
4. Shoes
5. Tanning
Tanning is not necessary to be a beautiful bride. I did not touch a tanning bed for my wedding. I just dealt with it, but also because I got married in December.
Friends, please be smart about tanning.
It's not worth it.
I have never ever heard a doctor say that it is necessary for someone's health to lay in a tanning bed. Even if it's "only for 15 minutes a few times a week."
Believe me I've heard that one before.
Be smart.
Being Tan is not worth hours of chemotherapy.
