Every spring I prepare myself for a beach season: buy a new sexy swimsuit, sunglasses, beach towel, go in for fitness, and so on.
Every summer I soothe myself repeating that a lot of people have the same problem, that I'm not alone in this world... However, watching those chocolate slim girls makes my heart bleed. Why can't I look like them?
Every autumn I cheer up myself thinking that I spent too little time on the beach to be chocolate. Next summer I'm going to live on the sand and undoubtedly have that sunburn!
And only in winter I feel comfortable and happy watching most people white-skinned (the same as me) and knowing how far summer is from present days.
Long time ago I didn't care about the color of my skin and lying on the beach didn't seem to be a pleasant time spending to me. But boys can't even imagine what girls sacrifice to win the female contest for a title of "sexy", "beautiful", "pretty"... So, I also started to fry myself under the sun just to be no worse than the others.
How did my skin react to that frying? Everything is very simple and complicated at the same time. It became pink in an hour after coming to the beach. It became terribly red in the evening of the very day. Then I felt fever for the next day and one fine morning I started peeling. Some days later - here I am, white again!
At first I thought that I spent too much time on the beach and just burnt over. However, reducing the time brought the same results. It appeared to be a real problem for me! Finally, I came to the conclusion that half of an hour would be just perfect. But after 30 minutes of sunbathing I remained as white as if not a single sunray touched my skin. It didn't want to get sunburn at all!
One of my friends advised me to try a solarium. "Of course! Why didn't I think about that from the very beginning?" – I wondered. But hardly had I visited solarium for the first time my skin became covered with strange white spots. I stayed at home for the next two days and never visited solarium again.
Another friend of mine used special cream with the effect of sun-tan. I decided to try it too. My skin reacted absolutely normally. At last the solution was found! I bought several bottles of that cream and decided to say nothing to anyone.
One evening my boyfriend invited me to the restaurant for some special event, as he said. Definitely, I had to be very beautiful this evening - dark skin and a white dress would be just perfect. I used my "secret" cream and put a new white dress on. Feeling self-confident and rather pretty (most passers-by turned around to look at me), I entered the restaurant where he was already sitting.

It was impossible not to notice his eyes shining with delight, but in a moment... "What's that on your dress? It's dirty with something". I lowered my gaze and saw smeared brown spots on my dress. It was my cream! Till that time I always wore dark clothes when the cream was used. I was ashamed and couldn't help crying.
Therefore, I had to explain everything to my boyfriend. To my surprise, he said that white color suited me a lot and I would look brilliant in a white wedding dress! Then he made a declaration of love and proposed to me! It was the happiest day in my life and I forgot about my problem... for a year or so. But still, every spring I prepare myself for a beach season...
