The Real Life Story of a Teen Mom/Kylie&Mason

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 basic...

Hi everyone, my name is Kylie and I am an ex-fitbit owner.  I decided to share my thoughts and opinions about why I chose to return my Fitbit after 6 days.  First off I will share with you why I decided to purchase a Fitbit in the first place. For my boyfriend's birthday I had bought him a Fitbit Alta.  As it turned out he really liked his.  He was always telling me how many steps he had gotten in a day and about how he slept.  I decided that I needed to get myself one so we could challenge each other.   The first few days with the Fitbit went fine. I was going to the gym every morning because Mason was at his dads.  Whenever Mason is gone I go to the gym in the morning before I go to work. Since I was going to the gym I was getting a lot of steps during the day.  Now that Mason is back it is not going so well for me. 1. My boyfriend Chad works at a clinic as an x-ray tech so he is always on his feet walking around.  I work at a bank so...

One of the first things I did outside of my house was get rid of all of the weeds and put down rock.  It was something that was much needed and looks so much better.  I wanted to get plants planted in the rock this summer but I am waiting to get new gutters put in so it will have to wait for next spring.  Next I had a large tree removed in my backyard and planted new grass.  After that was done I put a fence up with the help of my boyfriend and family.  I purchased all of the supplies at Menards and received an 11% off rebate so I got it all for a very good price.  I am loving the privacy from my new fence and so is Mason. You all know how much I love my decor so I obviously had to add some outside.  Here are two signs I have.  The home sign I purchased but it would be very easy to make and the Welcome sign I made.  I took 3 leftover pickets from my boyfriends privacy fence and hinged them together.  I then purchased...

I love home decor and home improvement so I wanted to start sharing how I do all of that while on a budget.  I just recently did some upgrading in my kitchen.  Someone was giving away a kitchen stove because the glass top was cracked.  I decided it was a great opportunity for an upgrade.  I took it and purchased a new glass top.  By selling my old stove to help compensate for the new glass top it really made it pretty inexpensive to get a brand new stove.  I think it makes a big difference in my kitchen.  Here are the before and after pictures.

I have finally found a purpose for the 4th bedroom in my house.  It has been sitting empty ever since I moved in.  At first it was going to be my workout room but I have found a new purpose for it.  It has turned into my spray tan room.  It recently got a little bit of a facelift.  I of course forgot to take before pictures so you will only get to see the after.  If you haven't noticed I love interior decorating.  I would rather buy decorations for my house than buy clothes for myself.  I am always doing some type of home improvement project or sometimes even more than one. I was going to wait to share what the room looks like once I am completely done with it but to be honest it will never be done.  I will always be adding to it.  There are a few things that are still a must to get in my book but here is what it is looking like right now!

If you are like me you can never find time to schedule a haircut.  I have always had bad split ends ever since I can remember.  I usually need a haircut about every 6 weeks because of my terrible ends.  I now haven't gotten a haircut since December!  It is all because I finally decided to try coconut oil.  I purchased the coconut oil one night because my ends were getting bad, but I of course couldn't find time to get a haircut. I discovered that coconut oil does wonders!  I melt the oil but running hot water over the jar. I then apply it all over my hair and let it set for about an hour.  After the coconut oil sets in I wash it out in the shower.  It is that simple.  I only do it when my ends start to get bad.  It honestly keeps my ends looking better longer than a haircut does. I never would have imagined that I could go this long without a haircut! Thank goodness for coconut oil! (Pictured below is my hair after I applied the cocon...

When I was at college at NECC I loved going to class.  I loved going because the whole year previously I had done college online.  You don't know how great it is to listen to a teacher and be around other students until you have taken online classes.  One day about halfway through the semester I was in my business management class.  It was one of my biggest classes with about 30 students.  That day we were learning about diversity.  My teacher did a little activity where she read something off and if it pertained to you, you stood up to show there was diversity everywhere.  She started off by naming an eye color, then religion, and race, she went on and on and then she got to...children.  I took a deep breath and stood up.  All eyes were on me because I was the only one standing. There were literally gasps in the classroom (I am not even kidding).  I am sure that my classmates thought that they knew me but they had just found out that th...
