One Weekend. Two Sunburns...

So, I 'm having a little technical difficulty (will the war between Macs and PCs ever end??). That, paired with my "Day 1 detoxification brain fog", has left me running late on my monthly Kingston feature. Don't panic! I hope to have it up tomorrow....

For now, I thought I'd chat about the weekend.....
More specifically, I thought I'd chat about the very dumb thing I did this weekend. I do it every year and, every year, I am completely surprised by my dumbness (word?). This weekend I got, not one, but TWO sunburns. Same place, same time of day, all the same.
One on Saturday and one on Sunday.


In my defence, you need to know what kind of skin I'm dealing with. It's the "so white is almost blue"variety, pale all year round, freckles galore, only considered attractive in Ireland and maybe not even there, kind of skin. If I spend too long under a fluorescent light I get a slight pink tinge.....

That being said, I should know better. I do know better. Summer is coming and it's time to cover up and slather up. I won't get into the debate over sunscreen or recommend any particular brands (that's another blog!) but I will say that recent studies are showing that sunburns, not necessarily sun exposure, pose the highest risk for skin cancer.

I wonder what the risk of skin cancer is when you burn the same place twice....in 2 days? Can't be good.

I'm really looking forward to the next 2 weeks. I'll be cleansing and writing and, hopefully, keeping myself motivated and inspired....If you have detox/cleanse questions or comments - send them my way!

Happy Rainy Monday!
