SPRAY TAN TIPS


Summer has come to an end but that doesn't mean you want to lose your summer glow (at least, not if you're like me - I prefer to look bronzed all year round when possible!). Colder months are the times when I really step up my spray tan/self tanner game. 


PRE SPRAY TAN:
- get your nails done first. You don't want to be soaking your hands or feet after your spray tan.
- shower, shave & exfoliate. Try to do this at least 24 hours prior to your appointment
- do not apply any makeup, lotions or deodorant
- take off all jewelry
-wear loose, dark colored color to your appointment


 POST SPRAY TAN:
- avoid taking a shower for 8-12 hours (or as directed) to let the color soak in.
-once you do shower, pat dry rather than rubbing with a towel.
-keep your skin moisturized so your color lasts as long as possible
AND if you prefer not to visit a salon for a spray tan, here are 2 at home self tanners that I LOVE:

You apply this one in the shower once you turn the water off. Simply rub small amounts all over arms/legs/chest/etc and then pat dry with a towel. It leaves you feeling non sticky with no scent and a great all over color without any streaks. This tanner is by far my favorite right now.

I love these towelettes for an easy all over tan. One wipe covers my whole body & leaves me with a great glow in just a few hours. Just be sure to wash your hands after using the wipe!


Which self tanner products do you recommend I try?

MAKE GETTING READY ON YOUR WEDDING DAY RELAXING & FUN

Most people think their wedding morning will be chaotic, busy and rushed but I'm sharing 4 tips to make it feel the complete opposite. You should feel relaxed, happy and excited going into the biggest day of your life!



1. Order breakfast, coffee & mimosas. Eat & drink them! Once the day kicks into high gear, you may be so caught up in the commotion and excitement that you don't get to sit down to really enjoy a full meal. Make it a priority to get yourself a healthy, filling breakfast the morning of your wedding & actually take the time to eat it! (I didn't get the chance to eat any of the food at our wedding -- too busy dancing and saying hello to people -- so I was really glad I ate a big breakfast that morning & thankful that I had brought a box of Cheerios to our hotel room for after the wedding haha)

2. Wear a custom outfit. You're about to put on the most gorgeous outfit you've ever worn, but why wait until that special outfit? Kick off your morning with a custom/fun outfit to wear while getting ready. I opted for 'Bride' pajamas. If it's in your budget, get cute outfits for the people getting ready with you as well. I gifted each of my friends/family members who were getting their hair/makeup done with me a robe to wear.

3. Designate a babysitter for your phone. People will call you on your wedding day - vendors who are arriving & looking for you, family members who are looking for directions, people calling to say congratulations, etc. You don't need the headache of dealing with any people/questions on your wedding day (I mean that in the nicest way, but it's true!) Your only focus on your wedding morning should be yourself & your future hubby. Hand your phone over to a family member who can answer questions and direct people to the proper contact. 

4. Make a playlist. We all have those songs that put us in a happy/fun loving mood.  Choose ALL of them and put them on a playlist for your wedding morning!
