Go ahead and save the “you should wear sunscreen all year round” lecture for someone else that might actually listen and take it to heart. Because I, my friend, am not one of them. I just can not see myself lathering up with sunscreen in the middle of winter whilst wearing long sleeves and a jacket. Well take the photo below as prime example of why you might want to get your “idea” out of your head of why you should wear sunscreen no matter what time of year it is.

winter sunburn on chest

As I mentioned in a earlier post, since my site was down all weekend I had been outside enjoying the fresh air with my family. We have been playing ball together. Today, I decided to do the same. I had a low top on and well my chest is burnt to hell.

I thought my husband was joking that I was burnt. But nope, I now feel it as I sit here and type this to you tonight. One thing I hate about being so pale is how easily I burn.

We were only outside an hour that is the bad part. I stayed in the shade the majority of the time, as well. The sun and my skin just do not mix. I am forever doomed to be pasty white.

But you know, as I get older I have started to embrace my pasty white skin. In this day and age it is all about the “healthy glow”. Well all that tanning in a tanning bed or laying out in the sun just isn’t going to do anybody any good twenty years down the road when they have more wrinkles than they really should and their skin appears to be rubber. Nope me and Snow White will stick together with our pasty selves. Thank you very much.
