The genius of the continuous spray

It is that time of year again, folks. The sun is out, the water is warm and the beaches, they are the places to be. The dilemma... sunscreen! If you are anything like me, you probably have a dozen half used bottles of sunscreen just lying around your house, because inevitably I will end up buying a new bottle each season. I never get through an entire one and I am always lured to the register with the newest gadgets in sun protection. Well look no further folks. I have found the ultimate in sun protection (and its fun!). Coppertone Continuous Spray! Gone are the days of your hand cramping up as you try to pump enough sunscreen out to cover your entire body from those archaic "pump sprayers", or the gross, sticky fingers that result from helping a friend apply sunscreen to their back. The benefits are endless: It comes in SPF 15 and 30, full coverage, and no rubbing in required. The fun part is that you kinda look like a bodybuilder about to go on stage for a competition immediately after application. But don't worry, that glistening physique only lasts for about a minute and then it is all soaked in. This was my protection of choice for this beautiful Memorial Day weekend we just enjoyed and not a sunburn to be found. (okay that is a tiny lie, I have a minor, minor sunburn, but that is only because I was out for four hours straight, during peak sun exposure I might add, and did not reapply in time. The fault lies with the user, not the product.) So, for all of you beach lovers, hikers, and anyone who enjoys spending time outside during the sunny, summer days So Cal has in store for us, I recommend checking out the CCS, you'll be glad you did.

Caution: Exercise restraint during first application or you will end up using the whole can in one weekend like someone we all know and love.

Somewhat related caution: Being that it is the beginning of the summer season, learn from my mistake and build up your endurance slowly for all summer activities ie: frisbee and bong-ball (a version of smashball that uses plastic paddles that make a fun "bong" sound everytime the ball hits it). I am suffering from some seriously sore biceps (muscle responsible for the controlled frisbee release) and gluts (primary muscle involved with lunging for the bong-ball). Be sure to stretch out there folks!!!
