I went to the dermatologist last week for my semi-annual exam. Since the skin cancer/Moh's surgery episode three or four years ago, my dermatologist wants to see me twice a year. This year again showed no problems so next year my visits will drop to once a year.
I always find things interesting at my dermatologist's office. Last time it was a peel for your feet. Unfortunately, I was waiting to use it before summer sandal season and my doctor told me it was a two week peel and I would definitely want to use it in the fall. So I wait. Impatiently.
This visit I was interested in the three types of self-tanner she was "promoting". I asked, as the sign directed, if there was a special on either of the three and which was best. My doctor showed me her beautifully tanned legs from one of the products.
Uh huh, you know me well. My mind started clicking away and seeing my varicose, spider vein legs as tanned and beautiful for summer. Isn't it amazing how a mind can picture something totally unrealistic? Anyways, this mind was seeing the beauty until I saw the small size of the bottle and heard it's price. $60! But wait, with 20% off on that day. Still, my thrifty mind was so undecided. As I stood there in front of the young girl manning the checkout desk, I was voicing how people really didn't give a rip how sixty year old women really look. Nobody really cares. I talked myself into keeping in my wallet that $48 plus a $12 mitt for applying. The girl looked at me, smiled, and said, "Embrace the paste." I laughed out loud. She was right! God made me lily white so why shouldn't I rejoice and be glad? She, too, was white like me. Yes, I decided to "embrace the paste".
I will have to admit, however, on the way home as my thought process worked, I did decide to buy a very large tube of cheaper Jergens self-tanner daily moisturizer ($8.94) for my legs. It actually has worked pretty good. As it fades, I can again "Embrace the paste".
So, if you, like me are cotton white skinned, enjoy it…love it….embrace the paste. :) Or buy Jergens self tanner daily moisturizer.
And that, friends, is a very random blog post. I've decided a little randomness in my blog posts could be more interesting and entertaining. Stay tuned!
