HNT-Burn, Baby, Burn!

The Limelettes and I spent 4 days on the beach in Maryland. I am perfectly happy reading while I sun my buns. I get hot, hop in the water, swim around, cool off, return to book on the beach. I am a contented Lime. Not wanting to be a crispy Lime, I always use sunblock. This time when I was slathering myself the Limelettes asked me to smear their backs. I obliged and off we went. Only several hours later did I realize I never finished slathering myself. I completely forgot my face and chest. So if you look closely you'll see how appropriate the title of the book I'm reading is...In a Sunburned Country.

And now onto the sunburn itself...

  17. Ouch! I'll be over with the cream later. That's why I don't sunbathe anymore, burn every time.

    Happy HNT sweetie ;)

  18. As someone wrote before, pure aloe vera is the way to go. It cools and heals, but boy is it expensive.

    Hope it doesn't hurt too much

  22. Nice lines. :D Happy HNT!

    ReplyDelete
  23. nice!! I have like 6 different tan lines on my back, it is so not cool.

    ReplyDelete
  24. OUCH!

    Being the fair skinned girl tha I am, I am no stranger to sunburn. If you're prone to peeling (gross, I know) try using Noxema cold cream as lotion for a couple of days while it's still red. I don't know why, but this really helps reduce the flakiness.

    I hope the book was good! Happy HNT!

  25. I think the sunburn hurts more than my tattoo does o.O oWcH! Happy HNT.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Well, I always said there's nothing better than a Sun-kissed Lime.

    Get it?

    Sun-kissed? Just another way of saying Sunkist. You know? As in the orange manufacturer?

    Okay, it was bad.

    Happy HNT anyway!

  35. I adore Bryson... AND he was born in the great state of Iowa! Have you read 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'? FanTAStic!

    Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel. The stuff's incredible and I'm uber picky what I put on my skin. It looks like bright green Dippity Doo.
