Extreme Tan and Smoothies Goes Green

Extreme John — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:01:12 +0000

In this day and age and for the future of our children and grand children we have a responsibility as a business and as individuals to make decisions that can help our planet.

You would be surprised about the different things that any business can do to help save the planet by Going Green. Here are just a few of the things that we will be changing throughout the Extreme Tan and Smoothies company, please feel free to share your ideas in regards to additional things that we can do to make a difference.

Use Less Paper – by re-introducing The Tan Forum.com as the major form of communication company wide we will reduce our paper usage by over 50% company wide. In addition The Tan Forum message system will be used as an internal system to forward messages between associates and each of our six locations.

Reduce Waste – beginning November 7, 2009 Extreme Tan and Smoothies will no longer use fax machines as a main source of communication. Typical fax documents that would be sent to the main office via fax will now be picked up with daily paperwork or communicated through The Tan Forum.

Recycle – Extreme Tan and Smoothies has already began using Recyclable hand soaps with fixed hand soap dispensers installed in all locations., we will also be replacing our non-biodegradable smoothie cups with smoothie cups that can be recycled.

Purchase Biodegradable Office Products – all current office products that can be replaced with biodegradable office products will be replaced no later than December 1, 2009.

Reduce Utility Usage – a little over three months ago Extreme Tan and Smoothies took a big step to reduce unnecessary utility usage company wide. Thermostats at all locations and the Home Office went from 68 degree settings 24hrs a day to 78 degree settings during hours of operation only. We reduced our a/c usage by over 500 hours per week and an astounding 28,000 hours per year.

Additional Areas We Are Currently Looking to Go Green:

Recycling Old Computers and Monitors
Reducing Printer Ink Usage or Eliminating it Completely
Reducing Fuel Usage on Company Vehicles
Energy Efficient Bulbs for Overhead Lighting
Replacing Current Smoothie products with Organic products

Tan Lines Gone Wrong

Extreme John — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:01:57 +0000

Every once and a while we like to break things up here on our little tan blog, so we take a break from the normal tanning information and tanning tips. I know, we have some nerve right?

Just the other day I was surfing around and looking at some of the different search terms and keywords being used in regards to tan lines when I came across this tan lines picture, I know I have personally seen this picture before and I am sure that many of you have too. When it comes to tan lines most people would probably imagine sexy tan lines or tan lines that look attractive, the tanning lines picture from below might not fall into that category.

Tan Lines Picture

I guess it is safe to say that the guy in this picture is not using a stand-up tanning bed in order to avoid tan lines from pressure points that a tanning bed might leave, it’s also safe to say that he certainly doesn’t tan naked. I will say he did end up with some nice color in the areas that his skin was not protected from the sun, it would have been nice to see the “before tan” picture as I am sure that was one interesting sun burn to look at.

Have you ever had an embarrassing sun burn or funny tan lines from something you wore outside? Leave a comment and share your tan line experience with us, if you like our blog you might want to take a moment to subscribe to our mailing list or become a fan of our Facebook Fan Page, we love interacting with everyone.

Tanning Tip of the Day

Always use sunblock when working or tanning outdoors in order to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, in addition to that…. Don’t wear your trucker hat backwards when your outside doing yard work or laying on the beach, the results can be pretty funny based on the picture above.

Pictures from Extreme Tan and Smoothies Night Out

Tanning Fanatic — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:47:23 +0000

Every once and a while we are lucky enough to get together as a company (we call it family) and spend time with everyone from our six Pinellas County tanning salons. We always have a great time regardless if we are having a pool party or heading out for a night on the town we get to meet any of our new associates and unite with associates from other stores that we had the chance to work with previously, Extreme Tan and Smoothies promotes from within so store transfers are pretty common.

We wanted to put together a few pictures from our night out on the town with Insane Limos monster limo “Andre” their 30 passenger exotic limo, wow that thing is really amazing. Once your done taking a look at our pictures from the night out below head over to Insane Limos they have more pictures from our night out posted there as well. Let’s get to the pictures.

5 Indoor Tanning Tips

Extreme John — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:01:55 +0000

As the indoor tanning season approaches quickly indoor tanners have started to search for the best tanning tips on search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. Finding tanning tips for indoor tanning can be a tough task even with all of the tanning blogs and various indoor tanning websites, the fact is that there simply is not enough daily updated tanning blogs to supply accurate and current tanning information.

Extreme Tan and Smoothies, Inc. has been working closely with indoor tanning clients and the indoor tanning industry for over five years, we constantly strive to provide the best information about indoor tanning possible. It is extremely important for us to stay current with information in order to ensure that our client’s receive the best possible tan by using the best indoor tanning lotions and by taking the time to properly educate our customers.

5 Tanning Tips

Choose a tanning salon with a nationally certified staff
Always wear protective eye wear
Use an after tan moisturizer three times daily
Use a high quality indoor tanning lotion
Avoid showering within six hours of tanning

We could probably easily put together a list that contains 20 indoor tanning tips, instead we wanted to put together a simple list of ways to make sure you achieve a dark bronze tan and get that tan as quickly as possible. It’s always important to purchase your tanning lotion and after tan moisturizers directly from a certified tanning salon as this ensures that your tanning lotion or tanning products are not watered down, tampered with or old which can cause “white spots”.
