Normally, I wouldn't bitch because, well, when you get sunburn you've probably asked for it. But for perhaps the first time ever, I didn't do this on purpose. A long weekend of winding through street fairs and playing catch in the park did this to me. We also got dressed up and went to a lot dinners. I wore my favorite dress [pre-sunburn]:
...which the BF bought for me last Christmas.
I made baked goods to celebrate the BF's new part-time job: adjunct professor at a college in the city! (I'm no Modern Marie, I know...)
He's still grinding away at the 9-5, and this gig is only two days a week, but how cool, right? I'm already planning a killer outfit to show those freshman girls not to get any ideas...
Right now, though, I'm listening to the Frightened Rabbits (good if you like angsty UK rock with a dash of pop) and ready to get down to this blogging business.
Even though I don't live near the beach anymore, I still have an appreciation for the things it can offer, like pretty little (or big) shells...

Speaking of shell jewelry, did anyone else read about this necklace made of shells from 100,000 years ago?

That dress is gorgeous! You look hot. And with the sunburn, you literally look hot.
I love your dress! you look great! I am sorry about the sunburn, it's so annoying! here is raining all the time, we don't even have the chance to get a bit tanned! :(!
those chocolate cupcakes look delicious!
That dress is gorgeous. Good luck on the burn...I know how that goes. And I REALLY NEED that first shell ring.
if you put tonsand tons of aloe vera on your burned parts of skin then it will heal super quick and also become a tan
I hope your burn goes away soon. It looks really painful.
The cupcakes look good.
The dress looks great!
You and the dress—fantastic!

Aloe Vera is used as a common treatment for sunburns. Not only it soothes the skin, it may also assist in the healing process. Apply to the affected areas as needed. Although the gel extracted directly from an aloe Vera plant works best.
