For spring break this year, some friends and I embarked on a trip to Cabo to rest and recharge before our last quarter of college. Fortunately for me, I was the lucky one when we drew responsibilities for the trip, and the only thing that I had to do was ensure we had transportation to and from the airport. This left me time to make some more in-depth personal preparations.

Having lived in Minnesota the last four years, the opportunities to get a tan have been few and far between, and the last thing I wanted to do was go to Mexico with a pasty complex. Having been petrified by the horror stories I hear about tanning beds, I decided to get a spray on tan instead. The results were amazing, and when I was on the beach in Cabo, no one could tell the difference.
