Greetings, friends, it's Anna The Friendly Ghost here with another humorous article. For those of you who don't know me, I'm pale. Simply put, I have very fair skin. Seeing as it's Summer, and beach season is among us, it made me want to write a funny article about pale girl struggles. I want you to know that I realize it's not actually a "struggle" considering the state of the world today, and that I'm very blessed to look the way I look and I wouldn't change that for the world. With that being said, here are 10 Struggles That Are Too Real For Pale Girls:
1) You've had several, absolutely brutal, sunburns in your life
2) Aloe is your best friend
3) SUNSCREEN, ALWAYS SUNSCREEN!
4) People are constantly putting their arm next to yours and pointing out how pale you are compared to them
5) Random strangers come up to you, whenever you're exposed to the sun, to make sure you have sunscreen on or comment on the fact that you're pale...you don't say?????
6) They don't sell foundations light enough for you. Classic Ivory? More like Porcelain.
7) You own very little white clothing because you blend in
8) Being forced to wear a shirt in the water, as a child, to protect you from the sun
9) Not even SPF 100 is strong enough against those hot Summer days
10) Those days where you're not wearing makeup and people ask you if you don't feel well because your face is too pale
Even though I joke about the struggles of being pale, I wouldn't trade my freckles, beautiful skin, or the ability to pull off any lipstick shade any day.
