Last night after the gym I came home and shower and by the time I dry my hair and thing (reaching 10:00 at night – tanning salon open till 11:00 Bless them!!!) it was too damn cold to go back out on the road to reach the tanning salon. You see over here in Canada we saw our first bit of snow yesterday – now that is some crazy shit – it only October you know!!!!!
So off I go – hoping I stop by the salon on my way home – I will let you know how it all go tomorrow. Got to love me – I have no problem going to work my ass out in the gym on the regular but I lazy to go lay down in a tanning bed – guess because its been a while. I must start and keep it up because in case you have not all figured it out by now I am foreign, real foreign and I will not be caught on Carnival day skinning up my pale ass in the streets of Port of Spain.
Does this look appealing to you island girls LOL....
I can bet it dosen't :)
I am assuming not a lot of foreign people (like me) play in Tribe unless they are really on top of their game (band sell out quick) – can anyone confirm this???

girl, after watching final destination 3 where the two girls got fried in one of them things i just don't even think about them. Haha imagine what movies do to make you fear stuff.
lol - but girl a think scarier then getting fried in there is getting bunn in the sun and skining up pale :)
girl plenty "foreigners" does play with TRIBE! 3/4 of the people who visit my blog not living in Trini like Hottie Hottie, prettidolli, amprincess, bagogyul,shandy.. to name a few :D
But people don't look at you weird like "what she doing with this tan in the DEAD of winter?" LOL
They must think you jet off to Cancun and Punta Cana everyweeked :P
thanks gee - I WILL DEFINETLY MAKE SURE THAT IA M NOT TURNING A SHADE OF ORANGE lol those people are too obsed with it lol
This year I will be staying in Marvel during the Carnival season. I am thinking of taking a flight down end of Nov to check out the mas cams (and work on my tan) if so I will probably be staying in Grande then.
Where in Trinidad u at agiain?? What you planning for Ash Wed. so far?
You're starting early Buuble! I don't know yet if I'm fakin it... probably, *sigh*... I'll most likely get colour when we get there, even though I swore I'd stop that. Ever try mystic tan? It's alright, best out there for all over & safe, but not that dark ... & not to worry Cos, not orange! LOL
But Grande close to ManZan so I can work on my tan boy :) Either there ir St. Joseph. I would never stay in ManZan for Carnival too far - although maybe I will stay there after Carnival Tuesday or the night of Ash Wendesday - we will see.
Karabana - I never tried mystic tan heard about it - have you tried it yourself?? Is it a onetime thing you would do before you go. I did in fact go for my first tan on Friday so perhaps I will go back tommorow or Wendesday :)
Gee I sorry to hearing you working the Wed, good luck with dat :)
So you men all have this MOnday wear thing do deal with - now that some pressure, Karabana what you doing re this, any decisons yet??
GEE - where your blogg at :)
If I come in Novemebr I will only be there for a week :( I wel use up my vacation this year because I stayed in Trinidad for a month this Carnival pass :)
I have drove while in TnT - I am going to rent a car while in Tobago but I will just travel where I need to go in Trinidad. Why you ask?
Garnier - yet to hear of that...
Looking forward to seeing your blogg :)
Bubbles, yuh eh have to budder with no tanning bed yuh know. Once yuh not reaching Trini Carnival Monday, just head to the beach AS SOON AS YUH REACH. Dais all. Dais what I do. You will tan fas, fas. And saucy, I's a Trini eh, not no foreigner. Just in self imposed exile right now... lol!
It supposed to have a pic there girl?
buubblenut - I too am REALLY pale if I don't tan so I keep up my tanning process all year not just for carnival. Hottie - for some of us it takes more than 1 day in the real sun to get a tan - for me it is a gradual process. I feel everyone looks better w/ a tan - I know I do.
But once it gets cold here - it's so hard to drag myself out in this nasty weather after work just to strip off my clothes & get into a tanning bed :(
The mystic tanning is great once in awhile - but don't make that your sole means of tanning - keep using the regular machines in addition to the mystic tan. I actually did a mystic session last fri & love the results. But the whole process is really annoying & time consuming. The prep time takes longer than the actual time spent getting sprayed!
You have to exfoliate your skin 1st & then put on this barrier cream. Then you get sprayed for literally 3 seconds on both sides of your body. You dry off w/ a fan, remove the barrier cream from your hands & feet and get dressed. I not spending that much time to go thru that whole procedure all the time. Maybe I'll do that once a month & stick to the regular machines once or twice per week til TNT :)
Even my friends who are white just head down early and spend an entire day on the beach tanning. And bubbles, since I find out that you're a foreigner i.e. non Trini, I want to tell you I HADDA meet you for Carnival and shake yuh hand. Yuh done well.
Girl I am telling you that you will definetly see me on the road -what other mad white girl going to be dancing around in chaps and thong LOL.
I find the sun in Trinidad don't catch me so much, in Tobago yes, but this is probably due to beach time. I find when I in Trinidad I rather spend the day hiking into bush and then swiming in the waterfalls.
Yeah, I did mystic tanning once (for Caribana) bc it's safer than the beds, & gives you the proper all over tan you'll need for it. It's too much $$$ & I didn't find I got very dark though. & yes, the very particular prep & drying off is a pain.
Heyya Cos, never heard of Garnier's tan... I like the lotions (Jergens Glow), but they don't work for all over.
"It supposed to have a pic there girl?" - HH - mine? LOL! I don't know what happened, why it's so small. Can't make it bigger... then again, don't really need to make it, them, bigger LOL!!...
Hey, Buublenut, you'd want to be careful with those tanning beds. UK Cosmo August edition had a mini article where there was a malfunction and a sun-bedder ended up getting super burnt. I too am plagued with winter skin, but after reading that article, I'm even more reluctant to try out that method to get some colour.
Thanks girl - you make it sound like a scary movie lol
I'm a little hard headed and unless something happened to me directly (or maybe if it happened to someone I knew) then I would be a little iffy about using them.......so until then i guess I will take my chances :)
You should try them out, theya re not that bad.
