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 :)

Become a Partner in Hope

Today is February 4th, which also happens to be World Cancer Day.  In honor of World Cancer Day, the radio station I listen to everyday at work had many cancer survivors, and parents of cancer patients tell their stories.  Every time a parent or a child told their story, I was almost in tears.  In every story they all said "I never thought it would happen to me."  It is so true, no one ever thinks it is going to happen to them.  I couldn't even begin to imagine if I was told that my son has cancer.  I don't want to even think about it.  After hearing all of these stories I decided I wanted to do something to help.  So I went on to stjude.org and became a partner in hope.  I signed up to donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital monthly.  It comes straight out of your credit card or bank account.  You can choose the dollar amount to donate per month.  Any amount helps so much.  It is so easy to do and I hope others wi...

2015 Review

Happy New Year!!! Mason and I have made it to another year.  It seems like such an accomplishment every year.  2015 was a great year for Mason and I. We started out 2015 with Ryan and Leah's wedding.  Mason made an adorable ring bearer and he had a blast dancing the night away.  Also in January Mason had his second surgery.  He took it like a champ.  There were some positives and negatives to having been through it before but the recovery this time went a lot smoother. I had my 1 year anniversary working at TCB in February.  That means my 2 year is quickly approaching.  I am still enjoying it there.  My family tries to accuse me of converting over to a Knights fan, but I say I just like to support everyone! In May a lot of things happened.  Mason turned the big THREE! I don't know how I can be the mother of a three year old already, but I am.  He has grown up so much and he won't slow down. I applied for a mortgage loan and a...

GoodNites Tru-Fit Real Underwear Review

Ever since Mason has been potty trained and wearing big boy pants it has been a struggle at night time to get him to wear a diaper.  He cannot yet make it through the night without wetting the bed.  I went through a phase where I would have to duck tape Mason's diaper on in order for him not to rip it off in the middle of the night.  I had recently used up all of his diapers so I went to the store to check out what my options were.  I found the perfect solution to my problem!  I found GoodNites Tru-Fit Underwear.  They are real underwear that you can insert an absorbent pad in.  I was skeptical about how well they would actually work because Mason's diaper is usually full in the morning but I was pleasantly surprised!  I have not had one leak on me yet. I had never heard of GoodNites underwear before but I am so glad that I found them! No more diapers for Mason! Below I have posted a link to purchase GoodNites Underwear.  I have not yet shopp...
