Ok - so this isn't my usual type of posting. I try to keep it positive and not let my inner fashion critic get the best of me. But yesterday my face got stuck in a look of horror...you know that permanent OMG moment.

I was at the Discarded to Divine event in the city (see below for more details) and off in the distance should I see, sitting with legs folded… cute guy, amazing amaretto and peach shirt, great suit,.....then down to...PASTY ANKLES. Oh ...the horror!  Ok look. There is nothing worst than pasty ankles. 

Well....ASHY ONES are right up there too. Ok – BIG SIDE NOTE HERE [Guys - I realize summer is right around the corner...but don't wait. Most of you HAVE lotion, just don't use it. You probably have at least three “fru fru” gift or travel bottles lying around. You might also think,” I don't have time to put it on”….”people don't look down there anyway”.  Well for all the girls who love guys and guys who love guys...please just bring out the bottle.] 

Well, what can you do about our first issue here? Lotion won't help - you need C-O-L-O-R. Alas...Planet Green (part of the Discovery franchise) has the solution. There is an easy way...and can we all say, "Eco-Friendly", way to do it. In addition to eco-friendly sun blocks, there are also some eco-friendly self-tanning lotions out there. Smart Shield makes some lotions that are self-tanning and filled with vitamins. And there are luckily more eco-friendly tanning salons all over the country these days. They are solar powered many times and filled with green products. Any more excuses…?
