To my pale posse, I regret to inform you that it is summertime. Yes, summertime. Our enemy, the sun, now has more power than it has had in months. It's here to burn and roast you like the fair-skinned flake you truly are. Darn you, big ball of fire.
By now, you've probably incorporated large hats, parasols, and sunglasses into your summer wardrobe. You've also probably spent hours rubbing high levels of SPF into your skin (and may or may not have gotten some in your eyes and screamed a little).
You have your technique. You know what to do to keep yourself safe. Fabulous. And while I'm sure we can all agree that wearing sunscreen definitely works, it can feel like a chore to keep applying it regularly.
Listen, here: If all-day events in the sun make you nervous and you are counting down the days until fall, we feel you and we see you. We also have some memes that we think you'll like more than shady trees. Keep scrolling for some memes that your friends who tan naturally will never understand.
