Pandora 77 Posted April 28, 2011 I getting so freaking sick of tornados and floods and power outages and downed powerlines and traffic signals being out. So. Freaking. Sick. Couldn't even have a conversation with my dad on the phone today because I was on campus and there's apparently, like, four effing sirens and I was between all of them.

Pandora 77 Posted May 4, 2011 God hates trailor parks. It's a known fact. Clear day today, but more rain coming. And just because we're not getting any new rainfall today doesn't mean the Mississippi and her tributaries aren't backin' it on up. Saw aerial photos of Mud Island (which is an island in the Mississippi with a bunch of swanky homes and condos) last night... they pay big bucks for river-view property; they get an extra close-look for free! Minus the cost of the entire island potentially going underwater. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted June 1, 2011 Ahhhh it's FINALLY warmed up and it looks like it is FINALLY going to stay that way. Yesterday marks the official start of my summer because I hit the pool for the first time this season and it was blissful! *this is a happy Pod* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad furday 57 Posted June 1, 2011 Elijah at work tweeted Facebooked about herself having got a bad sunburn - I had no idea how until I saw her at work last night- Very red! You can see the lines of the neck straps of the dress/top/bikini top she was wearing clearly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Durron 23 Posted June 2, 2011 I just hope to god there is no weather until I get to NY this weekend... HOLY CRAP! My car is packed to the gills... then I realized I didn't have my clothes in... so I went to goodwill and bought two suitcases and packed my clothes in them and lashed them down to my roof. *yes my car looks like Jed's* So now I gotta hope that it doesn't rain and soak the suitcases. Not to mention I really don't wanna drive the hillbilly wagon in the rain. the ropes for the suitcases impede the wiper blades and my trunk is practically dragging on the ground... too many books lol.

Pandora 77 Posted June 2, 2011 That SPF 100 (or 85) is really not all it's cracked up to be. Y'all don't forget, I spent the last 5 years of my life selling skincare and sun protection. You think I spend less than $25 per tube? I get da bestest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James the Defender 7 Posted June 2, 2011 I heard on the news anything over SPF 30 isn't really necessary. I actually ran out of the 100. I'm going to get 30 next, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted June 2, 2011 Ah yes because the news knows everything, lol . The SPF isn't so much the strength of the protection but the length of it, barring the interference of sweat or water. Kinda like how lightyears don't really measure time. What you want to look for in a sunscreen if you are going to be swimming or sweating for any length of time is one that absorbs well into the skin. So for instance, I have this SPF 50 that Lancome used to make (best stuff EVAH) that is still effective up to 45 minutes after toweling off. Remember that most brands claim to be "water proof" but this does not mean that the substance is not more quickly broken down after being in the water. Then removing sweat or water by any means other than evaporation further diminishes its efficacy and essentially can wipe it off. Your first application should be between 15 and 30 minutes before you actually go into the sun. This gives the product time to absorb so it won't be broken down so quickly. It works by giving the sun something besides your skin cells to break down, so if it hasn't had a chance to absorb and activate, it doesn't do much good. The moral of the story: apply early, reapply often. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
