Elon Musk inspired my tan. Really! Sometime back I saw a pic of Musk with his shirt off with a really sickly white pallor on his skin. It looked so unhealthy (lack of Vitamin D) that I resolved that I would try to get sun every day even if it meant just sitting outside shirtless for 15 to 20 minutes daily. It has now become a habit of mine. I don't get bored sitting outside because I also listen to my audio books out there.
Up here in MI, it takes me from Now until mid july to acquire it, and it starts fading by mid september!! Maybe I'll do better in the next life and move there early on!!
