give me some fake sun and some beats.

summer is amazing. i feel like a kid again in the summer, always wanting to be outside and possessing endless amounts of energy. all i need in the summer is some sun and i'll be content, but these are the things that make my summer that much better.



1. self tanner
yeah i admit it, i used to follow a tanning bed routine like it was my job. nothing feels better than the warmth of the artificial sun on skin on a winter afternoon, and coming home with a nice tan. but after hearing about fellow 20-somethings getting skin cancer, and new reports stating that indoor tanning increases the risk of melanoma by 75%!!! percent, i officially quit the tanning beds. i'm not gonna lie, i still tan outside but i use SPF and rely on self tanner a lot more than I ever used to.
these are my favorite (they are snookieorange free)
1. Victoria's Secret Daily Glow Gradual Tan Moisturizer SPF 15
2. St. Tropez Self Tanning Bronzing Mousse
3. SUN Laboratories Dark Sunsation Self Tan Lotion

2. new music
if i could choose a soundtrack for the summer of 2008, it would just be The Carter III. i loove when new albums drop in the summer. thankfully, there are albums to look forward to. and don't quote me on these albums ACTUALLY dropping in the summer, cause you know how record labels do, always pushing back dates. ugh.

-Drake "Thank Me Later" (which has already been pushed back a number of times)
-B.o.B "B.o.B Presents: The Adventures Of Bobby Ray"
-Kanye West "Good Ass Job" (which seems strange to be dropping this summer, since there is no single, no promo, no anything as of yet)
-M.I.A. "untitled as of now???"
-The Roots "How I Got Over"
-The-Dream "Love King"

I will post more summer necessities in the future. Look out music fesitivals anndd frozen yogurt :P
