By now you might be wondering what's the point of this post. Well, I was invited to join a series of posts where Slovene bloggers who sport a fine, pale complexion warn you about the dangers of sun exposure and we hope that we will at least make you think more about the issue. Aside from me, you can read (mostly Slovene) posts from Anna (Mad about Red), Karina (Karinartistic), Nika (Beautyfullblog), Sandra (The Puzzle of Sandra's Life) and Tamara (from Cherry Colors). The thing is that last year there was this whole jam thing. If you're not from Slovenia (or maybe even from Croatia) then what you probably don't know is that there was this absolutely crazy hype for a fast tanning product called Marmelada (Jam) by Afrodita. The product doesn't contain sun protection, otherwise I can't see how it could work, but it caused hundreds of people to do something rather stupid - stay in the sun for hours with no sun protection in hopes of getting a deep tan. I didn't care for the hype. Why? Because I don't even remotely care about the shade of my skin. Yes, I'm pale. Always have been. Who cares? However, I was a bit taken aback to see what craziness this jam caused, as I was sure that the awareness of the dangers of sun bathing was high in Slovenia. I guess I underestimated how desired tan skin still is. Where I live, so in Dolenjska, though I absolutely cannot speak for everyone who lives here, sun protection is seen as something you wear on the beach or the pool and not every day, but whether people sun bathe, it depends on the person. Since I have a similar mentality about sunscreen, I absolutely cannot lecture you and I won't, but I can't say I spend a lot of time in the sun anyway, so I do have a sort of a pass. 

Če se sprašujete kaj je sploh smisel te objave razen mojega tečnarjenja, no našle smo se nekaj bledoličnih blogerk, ki smo se odločile, da znova malo odpremo temo o nevarnosti sončenja, torej boste lahko prebrali podobne objave tudi pri Anni (Mad about Red), Karini (Karinartistic), Niki (Beautyfullblog), Sandri (The Puzzle of Sandra's Life) in Tamari (from Cherry Colors). Vse nas je zelo presenetil lanski naval na Marmelado, meni nesmiseln izdelek, ki le spodbuja neumno obnašanje, da se grejo ljudje brez zaščite sončiti. Sploh me ni ganila. Prve tedne mi sploh ni bilo jasno za kaj se gre, ker ponavadi takih objav tudi ne kliknem in ne sledim ljudem, ki so začeli s tem trendom, ampak me tudi sicer izdelkih za hitrejšo porjavitev ne zanimajo, ker mi čisto nič ne manjka. Pač sem že od malega bela, in?  Ne vem zakaj bi se sekirala zaradi take male stvari.
