Celebrities, Social Media & Both Sides of Tanning

Thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and online blogs, we tend to learn more about our favorite celebrities than any US Weekly magazine could ever hope to tell us. The best part? We learn a lot of things from the celebrities themselves!

Case in point...


It appears as though Miranda feels she needs to be tan in order to be tour ready. I fully believe that Miranda Lambert was not surprised at the 1,086 people to comment on one of her latest posts on Facebook. However, I doubt that she expected that out of those 1,086 people, the majority of them explained to Miranda why she should stay clear of the coffin-like beds. Although she hasn't responded, I'm hoping she at least saw one of the many comments and will consider the damage she's doing to herself. At the very least, I hope her fans who believe tanning is safe saw the many comments!

On the flip side...

Last night I was browsing my Facebook feed and saw a post from my favorite author Emily Giffin. Did you read Something Borrowed, Something Blue, or Heart of the Matter? She's a great author! If you follow her on Facebook and Twitter, you know how hilarious she is as well. What caught my attention last night was her tan so I decided to post on her page and ask if she tans or uses spray tans. I was pleasantly surprised--and super excited--to see that she actually responded to my question!


My favorite author only spray tans.
She doesn't even tan in the sunshine without sunscreen!
WOO HOO

Oh, and she thinks our awareness campaign is great:


....and then my day was complete.

My favorite author tweeted me, retweeted me and responded to my Facebook question!

EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeKKKKKK!!! (Yes, I give you permission to make fun of me now.)

Anyway, in the last few days I have seen 2 celebrities take totally different stands on tanning. 

I think I know which side I'm on!
