Sunless Tan Using Two Lotions Together

by Meegan on May 17, 2013

Happy Friday!!

We are off to a niece’s wedding this weekend.  Yay!  I am wearing a short, just above the knee dress.  But, I haven’t been in the sun much this year.  So, I did some sunless tanning using two lotions together.

Sunless Tan Using Two Lotions Together

Yep, it is that easy.  Using a nickle size of each lotion in my hand, I mix them together.

Make sure that they are equal parts 50/50 of each lotion.

Once they are mixed, I rub the lotion on my arms, legs and chest area.

Viola-tan!

Questions:

Does it smell?  A little, but not strong like other brands.

Why do these work together?  I have no idea.  But it is the best solution I have used in the past 8 years.

Does it leave a glittery glow?  Yes, it most certainly does!

Can I use other depths of lotion-such as medium to dark?  I have no idea.  I don’t need to try it, this works great.

Do I need to be careful around elbows and knees, as no not leave deep coloring?  Yes, you do as you would any other tanning lotion.

Does it really work?  Yes, I promise it does.  I would show you my legs, but they are not so young looking any more :)

Am I getting paid or compensated for this post?  Not at all.  This works, and I wanted to share it with you!  That’s it.

So, there you have it!  A  Sunless Tan Using Two Lotions Together.

I hope you try it and let me know what you think.

Make it a fabulous Friday!

Refreshed Summer Wreath

by Meegan on May 16, 2013

Refreshed Summer Wreath I have this wreath.  It’s not bad, I like it, but I needed to add MY touch.  So I decided to make a refreshed Summer wreath.  Easy enough, right?  Now, the creative juices were flowing…

Refreshed Summer Wreath First, I cut off all of the ivy.  There was something about this that just said”old” to me.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA I got out my glue gun and started to work.  I thought it would look better with some newer, fresher looking greenery that I also used here.

Refreshed Summer Wreath With the new greenery, I wanted to add a Summer color.  These pink flowers were just the right texture and touch.  I also used them here.

Refreshed Summer Wreath I like yellow billy balls and decided to add a couple in my wreath, too.  Can you spot them?  I have some sticks that I like to use for more texture.  So, I added a few of those as well.

Refreshed Summer Wreath Once I was pulling everything together, I realized a pennant would be the icing on the cake!

Refreshed Summer Wreath Here she is!  My refreshed Summer Wreath!  So much better!!  Doesn’t she look happy hanging on our front door?

Refreshed Summer Wreath The pennant was just was she needed to finish her off.  I am loving all of the textures and added color.

Refreshed Summer Wreath  The greenery, the tiny pink flowers, the billy balls, and the sticks-perfection!

Refreshed Summer Wreath Yay!  I now have a beautiful refreshed Summer wreath to welcome our guests.

It just a little time, glue, and creativity and now I have a new wreath.

Do you have a wreath that could use a little refreshing?  I would love to hear about it.  Really, I would!!

 I promised you a sneak peek at my thrifted chairs:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA I still have some more to do with them, so this is just a small peek into what I am working on.

Thanks for visiting today!
