Time for tans to Fall

Summer is gone, temps are dropping drastically and those days of warmth where enjoying outside activities au natural will have to be put on hold until warmer days return again. The tans of summer days filled with sunshine and warm breezes have already begun to fade.

As nudists, most all of us enjoy the good old outdoors. Gardening, yard work, building projects, boating, fishing, sunbathing are just some of the activities we usually look forward to doing during the warm and hot months of the year. Anyone knows, clothed or not, when you are in the sun, you get some sort of a tan and once you arent in the sun as much that tan tint fades. We nudists do enjoy an all over tan, lol. So now that the fall is upon us and winter will soon be knocking on our doors, those golden tan will be totally gone, what do we do? What can nudists who are so used to the outdoors do in those colder months?

Here are just a few ideas I'd like to share. Some are obvious, and others, maybe not so much, but all are great options to keep the nudist freedom going all year long.

Whether it's just you, or you and your partner, cooking is always a great experience: (and your pets surely won't mind)

Many cities now are offering nude yoga classes. I haven't been to one because I am far too clumsy, but friends go often and always express how amazing the experience is.

How about bowling? Yep, bowling! There are far more areas out there now that have nudist groups that plan nude bowling  nights than you may think.   You still have to don those ugly shoes but, hey.

We all like to eat and eating with friends is good so how bout a nude dinner with friends? Even incorporate watching a ballgame if you like. 

You can host a board game night, craft night with the girls, guys can watch a fight on the tube, couples can get together and play canasta. 

All these ideas are inside in the warmth of the indoors but still give the golden opportunity to still be you. This is just the tip of the cold weather thwarting iceberg. No matter what you opt to do, do something! Don't let mother nature keep you all bundled up for no good reason til spring brings warm days. You are a nudist! Live like you want to. 

Don't sweat the cold days, the snow, the winds, frigid rains and losing your tan. In a few short months, hopefully, the outdoors will be a welcoming place yet again for us to enjoy. For those lucky enough to have warm days year round,  well, the rest of us envy you a wee bit.

If you're like me, to heck with the cold. I'll sunbathe and enjoy my time no matter the temps!

And it has begun...

New Year, New you.. NOT so fast!  With every new year there are always those pesky, hard to attain resolutions a lot of people try to adhere to. Not to be a Debbie downer, but I have refrained from making resolutions. I saw a post the other day that said, " one day does not make That much of a difference. If you weren't doing it yesterday, why do you think now will be the magic answer?" Valid point I think. Anyway, new year, new resolutions. As I said, I don't make resolutions, I make plans, plans that involve action. Those are ones that have the better chance of being successful.

So, what kind of plans have I made? Glad you asked, or didn't ask.  This post will be short as my plans are relatively simple.

1. I really need a new best guy buddy. The ones I have had in past years have basically all moved on with new families, careers and have even left the area. GUYS need guys in their life. Playing sports with, watching ball games, working on cars, camping, those types of things are integral to a man's healthy mindset.  So I am already working on locating and fostering some new guy friendships this year.

2. For too long there are a couple of things that I have put off. Whether it is fear of failure or just plain lack of motivation, I need to this year take a few more risks that could benefit my future.

3. I have always been a people pleaser. I've done so to a fault, sacrificing large parts of myself, stifling my own wants and needs and choices. This year that is changing. I still love people and will do my best to help those needing it, lend a listening ear, and will still bend over backwards when push comes to shove. However, I must take more time for Me, my needs and must stop the worrying over how anything I choose to do, endorse or partake in makes others feel.

4. Last on my list, and I know this is going to sound really ridiculous, but, I want to make a point to slow down each day more and enjoy things like reading the paper or having naked coffee. There is something wonderful about being good with your own self, feeding your soul, which also means feeding your naked self. It has been proven that being naked has health benefits and there are quite a few of them. So, coffee in my natural self reading the paper or a good book? You betcha!.

If you haven't experienced loving your body yet, I highly encourage you to take the plunge. It may start with not dressing right out of the shower, laying on your bed surfing your twitter and facebook feeds. Give it a try at least once. You might surprise yourself with how amazing and natural the feeling really is.

As January is marching on with the fury of a thousand wild horses, make some plans. Get them started. Change is a good thing and especially so when they involve you becoming a better you!

Peace for 2019 and encouragement for making changes for the best you possible!
