FAKE & BAKE (ONLY WITHOUT THE BAKE) :)

How to achieve that that all-over gorgeous summer glow without....
1: having to expose your skin to hours of harmful UV rays (aka SUN-BATHING)
2: being closed up inside a sweat box/harmful artificial UV light (aka TANNIN BED)
3: rolling around in the mud (ha ha ha ok not really)

***SUNLESS TANNER***

I know, I know! We've all been there ~ ORANGE OR STREAKED OR ORANGE AND STREAKY!!! Not a good look!!!

Sunless tanners have came a long way from how they were years ago and with a little extra skin prep and the perfect combo of tanning products everyone can prance around on the beach/pool side perfectly bronzed :)

I have been using sunless tanning lotions/sprays/cloths for years and trust me I have tried just about EVERY SINGLE product that is out there!
After (well quiet a few years) I believe I have mastered that beautiful summer glow!!!! I get complements all the time about how dark and glowing my skin is and people are shocked when I tell them its sunless!! "but it looks so good" hee hee

Ok so now down to business......

****My magicial combo****
Neutrogena
Micro Mist
Airbrush Sunless Tan
in Deep
&
Sublime Bronze
Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion
Deep Natural
Tan



I use each product once a week.....I use the sublime bronze on Wednesdays and then I use the micro-mist on Fridays.

What makes this combo work so good is that when you apply the lotion (which I looove because it is tinted so you get color right away and the bonus is it has sparkle!!!) you might miss a few spots or the color will soak in a little deeper in spots so then a few days later when you use the airbrush spray (which sprays in any direction making back side application a breeze) it evens out the entire tan!! By the 2nd week of application of the two products you look like you just got back from a beach vacation!!! Niceee!!

Sunless tanning lotion is also like using concealer on your body...LOVE THAT.....It is great for covering the appearence of celulite or stretchmarks or any other blemishes you might have!!

Tips
* A flawless finish begins with skin prep!! Exfoliate - Exfoliate - Exfoliate!! Dry skin soaks up the color and will leave you looking blotchy!!
* Always apply to clean dry skin!
* Both of these products are quick dry and non-rub off, but give at least 10 minutes to dry before getting dressed! (perfect time to whiten teeth, paint nails, practice your dance skills ha ha ha)
* Always wash hands after application!!!
*Use regular lotion on the off days! Moist skin will hold onto the tan best!
* I never wear white right after application for obvious reasons....

Happy tanning =) YOU GLOW GIRL!!!
Remember to use SPF when you are out in the sun!!!!

Natural Way To A Flat Belly.......Yum!!!!

Watermelon
for a
FLAT BELLY
*yum*

Yep not only is watermelon delicious, but it will help you get that flat sexy belly everybody craves!!

Perfect snack cuz it's sooooo low in calories, super cooling in the summer heat and yumalicious!!!

Got a beach or pool party coming up and you wanna look your best in that tiny lil' piece of fabric they like to call a bathing suit (ha ha) ~ Grab a watermelon and get your munch on!!!

Here's why......

Watermelon contains a lot of fluid which helps your body to eliminate salt and other nasty body bloating toxins! It's high water content will help to keep you hydrated. Dehydration will make you retain water and that my friends leads to BLOAT!!! Not pretty!!!!

If you find it hard to drink the required 8 glasses of water each day, watermelon will help you reach that goal in a tastier way =)

Something to remember.....

Hydrated body = Faster Metabolism
Faster Metabolism = Burning off more Calories
Burning off more Calories = Skinny Minnie
