Faux It

Okay Ladies! it's that time of the year. Time to be tan. I've had numerous people ask me lately about my tan and decided that even though I have blogged about it before I am going to share my favorite product and my to go tips that go along with it. Now, to each is own but for myself being blonde, I feel better tan.

Obviously I don't want to actually tan so I found the next best thing. Fake Bake is my absolute favorite product when it comes to a faux tan. Self tanning has come a long way that's for sure. I've used this product for going on ten years. It's easy to use and fast! You see results right away which is exactly what I need. 

Here is my tan 101:

1. Exfoliate really well. 

2. Apply lotion to any dry area (elbows, knuckles, etc.)

3. Apply your choice of self tan with gloves

4. Moisturize twice a day to keep you tan longer 

5. Reapply where you see fit.

Now let's say a disaster has happened and you hate your tan. Fear not. Just make a mixture of Baking Soda, lemon juice, and sugar. It will come right off. What this does is even out the Ph level of your skin. Same goes for if you happen to get it on your hands. Just mix some baking soda with liquid soap and it should go away.

Because Wine

Well I sure have been a slacker as of late. I was hoping that January would bring a little more of a less hectic schedule but not so much. 

What gives with wine taking martinis place this week? I'll tell ya. I haven't drank wine in TWO WEEKS. Big accomplishment for this gal. Anyway, this is something I learned a while back and as small as it is, it has made a huge impact.

Once I had read somewhere that in order to start your day off right you should always make your bed in the morning. Like always. When I first read it I thought it was pretty silly but I still started doing it and now it doesn't seem so silly.

Here are a few reasons to make your bed every single day.  Every. Single. Day.

• It instantly polishes your room.
• You cross one small thing off your to-do list.
• Here is a big one. Your linens and pillows will keep their shape better. 
• It promotes positive and productive choices all day. 

Now go make your bed then have a glass of Vino later. That's right I'm bossy. Ha!

Happy Weekend! Xoxo! 

National Dog Day!

What kind of Dog Mom would I be if I didn't acknowledge today? Here are a few snapshots of my fur babies Donatella and Perla Blue.  

Now go give your fur babies a hug!
