I bought some self-tanner today, for the first time, to try and get some sort of colour into my pale icelandic skin. Wow... all those years I spent painstakingly rolling about in the sun like a rotisserie chicken, trying to fix tan lines and deny the true splotchiness of my complexion, when I could have just massaged it right in! Anyway, I'm not gonna lie, I probably applied about three coats of that stuff. It was only once that third coat failed to dry that I started to wonder if I'd overdone it.

Of course, then I go online and read a bunch of online reviews, several of which mention that the brand I had purchased was a little on the orange side...

So I had a few second thoughts and ran a nice big bath. Dear God, was that water brown! The good news is that most of it came off. I'm not even sure if it was all that bad... but it's better safe than orange.
