To Tan or not to Tan?

Isn't really a question any more. I grew up with a sun worshipping mother. She was nearly perfect in every way. There we baked and there we lay. I have heard it is addicting and we do have that personality. Was she happier in the summer? I really don't remember any difference. I do know we went out of our way to seek the sun out many times per year. It wasn't the complete focus of our lives but the house of sun is where we did worship. Which was fine for Mom who became bronze in only one day, but for me, it meant burns and blisters. Ouch! Now we also know it can mean skin cancer. So as parents this is the deal. You do your best and hope for the best and only time will really tell. xx
