What do Nicole Kidman, Scarlet Johanssen, Kristen Stewart, Madonna, Marcia Cross, Julianne Moore, Gwenth Paltrow, Kirsten Dunst and many other famous names today have in common besides the fact that they're famous?
Well, here it is...they don't have tans. They're pale and proud of it!!!
Folks, I've been reading and the days of sun soaked skin, coated in baby oil with iodine and all kinds of coconut scented accelerators is a thing of the past. Do it if you want, but you will be labeled an Old Lady, because nothing screams behind the times more than someone who's stuck in the 80s and still addicted to tanning beds and "lying out in the sun". A little sun kissed color is okay and it's good for you to soak up at least 20 minutes of sun per day, but no need to overdose.
I'm reminded of a verse from the Bible that talks about letting all things be done in moderation, that includes things like indulging in sweets and treats, overdosing on sunshine and consuming too much of well...anything.
So maybe this post is a personal opinion and I admit that I'm guilty. I've done it, spent hours in the sun trying to capture the rays, but that was then. This is now. I'm learning to be comfortable in my own skin, whatever color it is!
Being you is beautiful. It's okay to be dark, if that's the way God made you. It's okay to be light, if that's the way you're made. Just be HEALTHY and CONTENT with who you are:)
