I am not really as tan as I look in this picture. I think its the white shirt and the lighting thats making me look so dark. I don't lay out in the sun. Its just not healthy. Besides, I break out into hives if I get too much sun. I have to work my way up to it throughout the spring and summer, a few hours at a time. But I do run in the sun, and bike, and swim, and garden, and frolic. I wear tons of sunscreen, but it can only do so much. I have tan lines from my watch and swimsuit and socks, but I'm proud of them. Its proof I'm being active.
