    luckily I have olive skin and stay a decent color most year but I do admit to some light tanning bedness in the spring before I go to the lake/pool so I don't get burnt after being outside for long periods of time.

    In the sun, the old fashioned way.

    In the sun. I have to coach sport and also while I'm spending time with my horses every day. I'm really pale during winter, though!

    At the pool, where I was most times this summer, and doing yard work.

    From the sun but I'm Irish blooded so it only turns into a tan if my freckles join forces!

    I don't tan on purpose, but I have very fair skin, so if I want to enjoy my life, it's inevitable I'm going to get color.

    What color I have comes mostly from exercising outside -- walking/running and swimming. Sometimes a day at the beach.

    Go outside. Run around. Shower, rinse, repeat

    I dream of Fake n' Bake, because my "tan" can only come from a bottle. Unfortunately, I'm awful at applying it correctly, and have to use a booth.

    From a bronzer SPF lotion and from the sun. High SPF (50-110) + Sun for hours a day = light golden tan without a burn.

    I have little choice to be in the sun all the time because of where I live (I guess I could stay inside all day, but...) so I'm always slathered in SPF. Nevertheless, I still have a decent light tan. I don't glow but I don't look deep tanned, either.

    The sun...I'm outside a lot, and often without a shirt in the summer months. I get pretty pasty in the winter though...save for maybe my head and face.
