Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30: You Did The Best You Could

Full disclosure: I was selected by Influenster to receive a Summer Voxbox filled with products to review. I will be reviewing them whether I find them awesome or terrible.

Summertime. I thought perhaps we could remain in that little bubble of sunshine without humidity we had been enjoying. Alas, it was not meant to be and the heat was in full force on July Fourth this year. So much so that I was forced to wear my bathing suit and lounge in a small pool to stay cool. Since I usually stay in the shade, this meant I needed some sunscreen. 

Obviously, I chose the wrong SPF level with Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30. I am fair-skinned and the sun is hot and full of burning. That's not the sunscreen's fault, though. It is fully my fault. 

Every Body is a Bikini Body

I’d like to tell all of you a secret. Are you ready? Can you move in a little closer, maybe shade your screen so no one peeks from the side? Ok, good. Here it is:

There is no perfect bikini body. It doesn’t exist. It’s a lie designed to sell you weight loss products and food with the caloric content (and taste and texture) of styrofoam.

There is no way for any human woman to achieve the perfect combination of curvy, yet skinny, toned but not too muscley, with that exact ephemeral shade of skin that’s somehow just dark enough but not too dark and perfectly even, and absolutely no cellulite whatsoever. It can’t be done.
