Good day!
I want to start my blog off today with this;
When I was a kid...I used to be in the sun all the time and I never got burnt. I never burned until I went to Argentina for the first time in 11 years....10 years ago. I was with my mom and step dad visiting my mom's extended family at one of the beach towns Pina Mar on the Atlantic. We went for a walk down the beach. It was a super windy day and a super sunny day. I had no idea of the sun's capacity down there, nor did I feel any heat because of the wind. Well....I happened to burn my entire body and peeled head to toe. It was probably one of the most horrific times in my life...painful and hideous. I learned my lesson alright. Whenever I am in Argentina....I wear spf 15 on my body and 30 on my face. That is Argentina. I can't quite explain my silly rationale for how I treat myself under Canadian sun. I guess my thought was this it isn't nearly as powerful as the sun down south. This is still true. However...our sun is still incredibly potent and I did discover just how much so this past weekend. Yes I had a loser moment and I didn't wear any lotion at all on the Saturday and burned the entire front aspect of my body. As I mentioned yesterday; my stomach, legs, my chest, my nose and forehead burned. My stomach, legs and chest are not peeling thankfully. That burn has turned into a pretty awesome dark chocolate tan. Yippie! My nose and forehead however...not such a pretty sight. Lesson learned folks! Even brown people burn....lmao!
I went to see the movie; Rock of Ages last night with my Mom. I LOVED IT!!!! Granted there were a few cheesy moments but for the most part it was entertaining and I enjoyed it. I think I have a secret desire to be in musicals. LOL!! Tom Cruise? Not the best but he did do well. Russell Brand? Pretty decent. Alec Baldwin? Hysterical. Julianne Hough? Impressed! Catherine Zeta-Jones? Amazing! The new Latino dude; Diego Boneto? Awesome! Mary J. Blige? Awesome! Yup....I loved it!
This week is action packed with movies. Saw one last night. Going to go and see The Avengers again tonight. Finally....watching Magic Mike tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT!!!!
I have to go and nurture my burnt forehead and scalp. LOL
Till tomorrow xo P
