Zebra hands, Panda face, and Puppy socks

Three things happened this morning.

1) I tried to scrub the dirt off my ankles in the shower, only to realise they are now so tanned that the contrast with my little white feet is so stark that I will only ever be able to wear ankle boots from December onwards! That is unless I embrace the cycle tan and use my paws to imitate a tuxedo puppy!

2) Thanks to my sunglasses, my face now has natural, permanent contouring. Of course some of you might say I'm channeling my best panda look ever, but I say Charlotte Tilbury would be proud. I hear she's added it to her list of 'looks', its called the travelling panda... Coming to the Covent garden store soon!

3) Thanks to alternating between cycling gloves and no cycling gloves, I've managed to create a series of stripey lines on my hands: Finger tips to second knuckles, pale (except index finger that is crispy brown... I've honestly no idea!!); then a dark 2cm stripe across my knuckles; followed by pale rest of fingers until you reach the back of my hand that is starting to turn crispy brown. Seriously who knows how this happened, just that it has, and I'm proud of my new zebra tan, I'm sure every fake tan salon will be imitating it soon... Just you wait!

And this doesn't even take into account the fact that every time Ant sees my back he tells me my shoulder blades are like dark angel wings... Thankfully I can't see them so they don't count!

Time to embrace the cycle tan!!
