I want a spray tan...But, I'm really self consious



Recommended Posts

I am really wanting to get a spray tan today because I have a wedding to go to on Saturday and I am wearing a dress (I have not worn one in a long time!) so I want my legs to be tan.

They spray the tan on you by a person, not standing in the box...so I feel like really self consious. Are the used to seeing all types of body shapes/sizes? I'm sure they are right? not just skinny minnies tan right?

Please help ease my nerves...or let me know if I am right and am going to be very uncomfortable!

Thanks!

You need to find a mystic tan booth - they're completely automatic. There's nobody spraying you.

I've found it gives great results too, perfectly even. I'm saving money all winter, so that I can have one every week this summer!

Mystic is the only one in Australia, but I think California Tan has them too? Google it.

If I'm going to have a spray tan, I want it all over, just becuase but really, if its for a wedding and you dont have time to get to an auto booth, you could wear shorts and a tank top and justs slip the straps off your shoulders - get your arms, legs, chest and face done, the bits that show and not expose yourself at all.

I own a tanning salon and although I don't personally do the airbrush, I can tell you that they have seen everything, so don't worry about it - for the most part, they are professionals.

If you want, you can email me at amyfrets@me.com and tell me where you are located. I will let you know if I have any salon owner friends around your area.

In my salon we have the Magic Tan, which is a spray booth and I would put it up against an airbrush tan any day. With the Mystic Tan, or Magic Tan or Versa Spa you are in the room by yourself.

Good luck and let me know if I can help. :thumbdown:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
