Claustrophobia 101

In an attempt to go from pasty white to not so pasty white on my wedding day, I decided to give tanning another whirl. I say 'another' because about 5 years ago I went into a stand up tanning bed when all my friends were raving about it. A few seconds in I proceeded to hyperventilate and exit the moment the UV lights came on and I was told that if I opened my eyes I'd burn my retinas. So this time I opted for the spray tan. I thought this might be a better way of tanning without the cramped booth. Wrong! First off there were so many steps and rules to this method of tanning and I got uneasy about that, the girl seemed uneasy for me and when I went into the room there was of course a tiny booth for me to get into. I'm supposed to stand there with my eyes closed for a minute while this machine sprays me. Well, I got in, took a deep breath, closed my eyes and panicked. I felt nervous and I couldn't breathe well with the nose plugs they gave me so I accidentally opened my mouth, tasted spray and bolted. Yep, that's right. I'm mystic tanned on my front up to about my chest and that's it. 

The lady told me I have a free session coming and I told her to keep it. I won't be back. I tried this twice and it's not for me. I believe I'll invest in Jergens Natural Glow lotion instead and hope for the best.
