This is a guest post from my friend Charu Suri, from ButterflyDiary.com. Thanks Charu!
There’s little doubt that self-tanners tend to be scrutinized with a particularly powerful magnifying glass.
“Will I end up looking like Charlize Theron when she won her Oscar?”
“How do you know it doesn’t streak?”
“It might have worked for you, but it probably […]

I am mega late on this this year, but I didn’t want too much more time to go by without talking about the 2008 CEW Beauty Awards winners. These are chosen by executives in the beauty business - editors, owners and every other type of professional you can think of in the biz. You […]

Oh I have been a slacker this week. Ok, not really. Super busy work week, and been eating Cold-eze and spraying that zinc-y nose goo trying to keep from getting sick. Ugh. And its soccer season. And my dog is about to have puppies. And the house keeper is coming tomorrow and things are upside […]

This is a WONDERFUL video from the Skin Cancer Foundation about the history of tanning (did you know a great tan was NOT always stylish?) and why you should be comfortable with your natural glow. I don’t have to go back into telling my skin cancer experience again do I? Just go look […]

I have done it - I have sprayed myself with the first round of the tanner. It is looking a little streaky at this point, but its coat number one of many that will cover my body for the next 8 months. I’m getting all excited about spring with my new blue nail polish and […]

From an article yesterday in the Seattle Times is a list of five bad habits that we pick up in our youth (20’s) that will age you prematurely. Yuck. Some are the classics, but there are a couple of different ones in here. So, don’t do these things, ok?
1. Wear high […]

I took a new (to me) self tanner on my trip to Colorado last month, Xen-Tan .
To be honest, I didn’t have really high hopes for it, as it wasn’t something that I have heard much buzz about, but I had a nice travel size tube of it (and, well, Nordies sells it - how […]

Part of the exciting part of my hubby setting up shop in Texas City is that he is super close to the beach - which I LUVVVVVVVVVV. I am a beach baby from way back. So, in the interest of not burning my blonde self up (and my blonde babies too), and of […]
