BEAUTY: Organic Tanning

As many of you know, I am a stranger to the sun.  I wear large sunglasses, church-lady hats, and never leave the house without at least SPF 70 sunblock.  I'm seriously considering purchasing driving gloves and the welder mask-like contraption donned by many of the older Asian women in my neighborhood.

What does a girl like me have to do to get some serious color?  Call Kelsey at Lavish Tan in Venice.  They specialize in organic, sprayless tanning. The "tan" lasts for at least a week and more likely closer to two weeks.  Kelsey is super sweet, and professional (she even texts your appointment confirmations), and has made quite a name for herself amongst those of us who fear the sun (it doesn't hurt that she has experience with Sports Illustrated models and some well-known actresses). The cost? About $45 bucks a pop - think about all the money you'll save on Botox, Restylane, and chemical peels later on in life to repair your sun-ravaged skin :)
