I rarely ever do anymore, and when I do, I am sure to have sunscreen all over me!!

Love all your points and I have one to add which is very personal to me:<br /><br />- Never, under any circumstances, ever, attempt to dye your hair blue no matter how post-moderinistly awesome it may seem. 'Shrek' is a difficult nickname to live down, and will remain long after the colour has washed away.<br /><br />Lots of love from Sydney,<br /><br />x Kel<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amuseabout.com/what-i-wore/bold-and-blackman/" rel="nofollow">melbourne: the bold and the blackman</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309675516128636589.post-34029358349378390212011-09-07T05:46:33.824+08:002011-09-07T05:46:33.824+08:00I adore this idea of writing a letter to your 16-y...I adore this idea of writing a letter to your 16-year-old self! I've actually been thinking about the advice I'd give this younger version of me a lot lately. The advice about wearing sunscreen and not setting yourself up for cancer is a very important one, and I love every other piece of advice you wrote as well. One thing I'd add to the list is: "It gets better. Life can suck for months or even years at a time, but if you love yourself and strive for the life you want it really will get better."
