Okay people, I say this cause I love you all… SUNSCREEN!!
Use that shit, and not the low numbered shit, I’m talking the good shit, 30+ baby!
Put that shit on everyday, sometimes twice a day, fuck it, reapply that shit hourly!!
And it doesn’t matter if you live in a sunny place or a cloudy as hell place!
I’m a perfect example:
Portland Spring 2013, notice a little sore on the tip of my nose, I ignore it and it goes away, couple weeks late it’s back, I ignore it and it goes away, repeat until Spring 2014 in Arizona.
Hubby: What is wrong with your nose!?
Me: Wow, thanks. What’s up with your eyebrows?!
Hubby: Seriously babe, you’ve had a scab on your nose for like ever!
Me: It’s not my fault, it just wont go away!!
Hubby: Well stop picking at it!
Me: I DON’T!!
Hubby: Well it’s not going away, maybe you pick it in your sleep.
Me: HOW DARE YOU SIR! I am a lady.
Hubby: Whatever, get it checked out.
So I did, went to a dermatologist and it only took her 1.7 seconds to figure out what it was… Cancer. FUCK, not malignant, but still serious enough that they cut off a sample and then flash freezed the rest to kill it dead.
And let me tell you, that shit hurts. The little assistant lady tells you it’s just gonna be a slight prick and then some mild burning. She LIES! It felt like she cut my entire fucking nose off and then pulled molten lava down the wound. I got your slight prick and mild burning right here lady!!
Also, the doctor lady mentioned that if I used my 30+ sunscreen on my face daily then I might see some lightening in my facial brown spots… huh… I used to call those my adorable little freckles… but no, apparently they’re a bunch of fucking sun damaged disfigurations… great.
Lesson learned? SUNSCREEN PEOPLE!!! EVERY DAY!!!
Good idea. Cancer is worth cussing over. Love the hair by the way.
You know, this “slight prick” business is for the birds. There must be an entire course in medical school about lying. I also have freckles and I much prefer “fairy kisses” to “future skin cancer.”

Sorry Mona, it’s in our f-ing genes. UGH!
