SUNLESS SUNDAY

Spray Tanning rocks! I do it about once a week and you would think I lay out all the time but really I am a total indoor, sunscreen layering junkie ;)

Here are a list of products you should avoid when planning on your next spray tan and products to avoid to make your spray tan last the longest

This is a list of commonly used body care products that can have a detrimental effect on a spray tan. This is not all-inclusive. Not everyone will have a problem with these items. This is only a guide.

 The following products can lighten or make a sunless tan blotchy:

-AHA products

-Anti-acne products  

-Anti-aging products that "renew" "refresh" or otherwise exfoliate skin,

-BHA Products (Beta Hydroxy Acids-salicylic acid)

-Body hair bleach products will bleach the tan, non bleach skin lighteners are fine

-Dove soap, and Dove Shower gel, Curel lotions will fade a tan faster, on some people.

*BIG ONE: Everyone uses Dove I swear so grab something else next time you head to the market if you are an avid spray tannrer*

-Retin-A type products (Retin-A, Renova, Tazorac, Tretinoin)- all will cause faster fading

-Shaving exfoliates skin, so fades tan

-Toners containing Alcohols or Witch Hazel in the top three ingredients listed can lighten tan

-Use of a loofa, scrub, mitt, etc. for daily washing. (Use a soft washcloth or "soft poof for daily use)

SHOUT OUT to all the Mommy's out there! Without you NONE of us would be here :)

I LOVE MY MOM!

I am so blessed to have this gorgeous lady as my Mom. She has been with me through EVERYTHING and I mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING! She pushed me to be a better person but showed me I could still enjoy my life and have fun at the same time. I would not be where and who I am today without her. She has listened to be whine and cry over the small and large things and stayed strong while I was growing up when it was just her and I. All the single mom's out there, I will tell you this YOU CAN DO IT! I promise! My mom proves it :)

BTW we are both spray tanned here ;)

For my Mother's Day I wanted a Shih Sunday! Shih Sunday means we take our dogs out to lunch with us and share some food with them. Do not worry it is all healthy stuff. I got chicken fajitas no shell and cooked in light oil while my hubby got steak fajitas. Next week I want to take them to the San Jose Farmer's Market so we can walk around more and they can have new scents!

Here are some pictures from our adventure:

Best day ever! I love my family!
