SPF 0

So I’m happy to report that the creme brulee topping that encased the bulb of my nose completely chipped off last night. I almost saved the flaky goodness for show and tell with my coworkers. I thought better of it. Maybe next time.
Apparently sunburns don’t happen all that often in the mid-Atlantic. At least 25 [...]

an open letter to dudes
