I started swimming again thanks to one to many "old football injuries" and since it's hard to swim in a 2 piece and I certainly don't want to be seen in one... I ended up with what a friend called the "oreo" tan. Dark on top and bottom and white in the middle!
I never thought I would try tanning bed or spray on tan but I finally broke down and tried Rio Tan and one of it's competitors. I'm not sure I could tell the difference in the tanning bed. They both had the same one. Tanning booth... by the time I tried Rio I had a much better base tan so it was also hard to tell.
The really big difference is that I think the person I worked with was the owner and not just an employee clocking in and clocking out. He was polite, attentive, and in general just pleasant to work with.
I'm waiting for a special that meets my needs and then I'm definitely going back!
