Extras from Pirates of the Caribbean?

Shawn and I used the first tiny bit of the spa gift certificate that we won at the Diamond Dash to try out body bronzing this weekend. We potentially wanted to use it before we took off to Maui to get married, but wanted to make sure that we liked it before we used it days before the wedding.

The bronzing process was not the spray kind, it was lotion that was put on kind of massage style after being exfoliated. It was relaxing and I was feeling like a Caribbean Queen when I came out of our room and saw Shawn looking super bronzed. We both looked at each other and kind of went "Whoa". No biggie though, we were feeling good so we went out to dinner, went to the mall, and then to the grocery store.

We got back to my apartment and Shawn went to the bathroom. He came out and said, "Uh, why didn't you tell me I looked like an idiot?" I said, "Well, I didn't think you did, but now that I see you in the bright lights, maybe it does look a little like shoe polish!" We were both laughing so hard we were crying - we looked like total fools! I said that we looked like extras from a Pirates of the Caribbean movie - see for yourself - here's a photo!!! The ladies at the spa told us that this look was totally normal, and that the brown streaky stuff would wash off in the shower and leave us nice and bronzy. So don't worry, we don't look like this today.
