My favorite Amazon buy makes me feel like I’m in Bora Bora when I tan in my backyard, for just $35
A COUNTRY musician has bought French Polynesia to her backyard thanks to an Amazon buy for just $35.
It made an ideal tanning area and made her feel like she was in Bora Bora.
Living in Nashville, the nearest beaches for Sydney Mack (@sydneymackmusic) are anything between a seven and nine hour drive away.
Tropical Pacific islands involve even longer plane trips.
So, Sydney brought the beautiful paradise to her backyard instead thanks to her nifty Amazon purchase.
The artist and songwriter’s TikTok has over 222,000 followers and another 1.9 million likes.
While a beachside holiday was not going to happen for her, she had a solution.
“All of your friends are planning their beach trips and summer vacations, while you’re setting up your $35 Amazon tanning pool in your backyard,” she said.
In her post, she started to prepare her tanning area, her Amazon purchase playing a central role.
First, she laid out a beach towel on the patio, and then out came the electric pump to inflate the portable tanning bed.
Then she attached an inflatable cushion and sprayed some cooling water in and added an ice drink to the cup holder.
Finally, she applied all-important sun protection to her lips and body before could at last relax and reclined in her bikini.
“Pretending you’re in one of those over-the-water huts in Bora Bora with a cocktail in your hand,” she said blissfully.
Commenters loved her novel idea.
“Who needs a hut over crystal blue waters anyways,” said this amused fan.
“Wow looking awesome,” reckoned another.
In the closing comment, this person said her solution was a win-win.
“And you didn’t have to deal with traffic, where to park, stupid people, and you can leave when you want,” they said.
