Simply Golden

So summer is in full swing, and between the madness of class, a couple jobs and all the rain we have had my tan is not as golden-brown as I would like. While some of my college-aged cohorts spend their mornings lounging by the pool or throwing around a frisbee, I have been spending my hours inside classrooms and office buildings. In a desperate attempt to look bronzed in my swimsuit this Fourth, I took the necessary measures and found a tanning bed.

While browsing through tons of offers at numerous tanning salons in Madison, I remembered my boss Leslie had mentioned a well kept Hilldale secret. Edward's Salon, a quaint little beauty parlor in the basement of Hilldale that offers more than the best perm in town; they have a tanning bed. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Who doesn't have a tanning bed these days?" Most places do, but few are rarely used (Edward's cliental are mostly sassy silver foxes) and inexpensive to boot!

I made my way over this afternoon to find out if the rumors were true. After filling out a tiny bit of information and paying a measly five dollars, I can officially report that my skin is now bronzer and more swimsuit ready for the weekend! I will definitely be investing in a package for the summer. Twenty five dollars gets you six tans, while $35 gets you ten. So get over to Edward's Salon for a little glow and enjoy the holiday weekend flaunting your best summer accessory!
