Kylie's Guide to Spray Tanning

Hey everyone, I hope you all are having a fantastic day.  I get asked almost daily about how to prep for a spray tan and how to maintain it.  I figured I would post it on here so everyone can have something to refer to.  The three things that I suggest doing before a spray tan is shower, shave, and exfoliate. I also suggest doing this as close to the time of the spray tan as possible.  If you don't prep your skin properly the spray tan will not last as long.  I also get asked if there is any specific product I suggest exfoliating with.  As of right now the answer is no.  I have not yet found an exfoliating product that is a game changer.  If I find one I will let you all know.  There are lots of exfoliating scrubs specifically for spray tans out there if you are interested in purchasing and trying one.

I have recently tried out the Norvell prep spray.  The reviews on this product were great so I decided to try it out.  It is basically like a primer for your skin.  It is supposed to help the spray tan last longer and go on more even.  I did think that the prep spray made the spray tan darker but I didn't find that it lasted longer.  I have never had one of my spray tans turn out uneven so I don't know if it helped with that at all.  If you would like to try it out the next time you get a spray tan just let me know.

For maintaining a spray tan I always say apply lotion daily.  The more hydrated your skin is the longer it will last.  They do have extender lotion specifically for spray tans.  It is kind of like self tanning lotion.  I do think that these work but I have never tried it myself.  I am terrible about this maintaining step because I have the spray tanning setup at my house so I can get one whenever I want.  But if you want to get your moneys worth out of your tan this step is crucial.

I will try to keep this updated if I change up my routine or start using any new or different products.  Feel free to comment or message me with any questions that you have.

XOXO
Stay Golden :)

Thoughts On "Why the Strongest Girls Are Insecure"

I just came across this article today on Facebook and it reminded me so much of myself, so I had to share it.  At the end of the article I will share my thoughts on it. Why the Strongest Girls Are Insecure By Holly Riordan She has high standards. She won’t settle for boys that treat her disrespectfully. She won’t hold onto friendships that are toxic. She won’t let anyone that brings her down remain in her life.  But she isn’t a hypocrite. She holds herself to those same standards. She expects herself to reach the stars, so she hates herself on the days when she sits in bed with a bag of chips and skips the gym. On the days when she doesn’t get enough done. Of course, no matter how much she accomplishes in life, no matter how much love she gives, she keeps pushing herself further. She wants to do more. To be more. Because she knows she’s capable of more.  She’s insecure, because she believes in her potential and she knows that she hasn’t reached it...

My College "Secret"

Someone asked me the other day how I went through college and was able to make it financially while paying for a child so I figured that was a great blog topic.  The first thing I told her was I am just naturally a saver.  Anyone who knows me knows I am very cautious with my money.  If I buy something you can bet it was on sale or I used a coupon.  Today at my family Easter we were actually playing family feud and the question was "What do you call someone who is careful with money?"  and my brother answered "Kylie."  I guess you could say I chose the right profession. From the time I found out I was pregnant I strongly believed that no one should have to pay my way or my child's way through life just because I got pregnant at a young age.  It was my decisions that had got me to that point so I needed to be responsible for my actions. I know this isn't possible for everyone but I knew it was possible for me.   I have had a "real" job ever s...

That Thing Called "Co-Parenting"

Co-parenting.....oh the joys!   This has been a hot topic on my Facebook newsfeed lately.  I think anyone that has to co-parent doesn't enjoy it.  It can be very difficult and a huge struggle.  Some people are great at it and I envy those people.  Some people wish they could parent alone instead of having to co-parent and I have been right there with you.  Over the past almost five years my co-parenting style has definitely evolved.  Right now it is somewhat non-existent and that is just the way I like it. I have decided that Mason's father can choose how much involvement he wants in Mason's life but I am not going to go out of my way to force it on him.  The door is always open to call Mason whenever he wants and to come to Mason's activities.  Even though that door is open.....he rarely uses it.  I inform him of the things that I am legally required to notify him about and he will text me randomly every once in awhile to see how Maso...
