Bad Wolf

Bad Wolf

SPF 100.

Is that really a thing?

I guess it is since that’s what this bottle says.

My life has been a never ending cycle of severe sunburns. 

I can’t resist the sun, I am a creature in love with it.

Last summer my sunburn was so severe that the lines from it were with me through October.

We’re going to the beach today. I mean we as in my friends and I, not we as in the royal we, which we are so fond of using.

See what I did there?

Don’t hate me.

You know it’s a beach day when I shave all the way up. Instead of the way I normally do which is to just above the length of my skirt or capris. Which we do because we are lazy, lazy, lazy.

Lazy.

Leg shaving is time consuming. My friend says to wax. Wax is painful. I get my eyebrows waxed and that doesn’t really hurt since the nerves must be dead from constantly plucking since I was 14. Thirteen years of plucking and waxing those into neatness will kill anything. 

But sensitive virgin legs?

No thank you.

My friend just texted me to tell me she’s on her way to pick me up. We’re going to a new Doctor Who themed coffee shop for coffee, and pastries and friendship time before heading off to a beach in Evanston.

That’s the thing you know?

You either go to North Avenue Beach or you leave the city.

I am alive. The weather is beautiful. I’ve been up for hours.

I love you all.

        1. I keep hiting the spam button on my phone and not reply. Let’s see if this goes through.

          Regarding what you were saying, I vaguely remember that. I don’t think my sunblock said anything about sweat resistance but for the first time in a while I put it on, went swimming and laid out in the early afternoon sun and I am not burnt.

          So maybe this banana boat sport, spf 100, was legit?
