Self Sunless Tanning 101

I assume I wasn’t the only teenager who thought tanning/fake-baking was the beeees knees? I never did get into the sticker on my stomach, but I did put the tanning cream on my faaace each time. The thought now is nails on the chalk board.  I gueess you could say I’ve come to my senses since my cheerleading days.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve also turned into a bit of a sunscreen freaaaak. I feel like I wear a whole lot less make up when I have a bit of a tan, anyone else? I’ve fine tuned my at home tanning process + am happy to share what I know.

SHOES I WEAR ON REPEAT

Shoes are a bit like hats. Each pair + style allows you to show your personality, as well as equip you for whatever life throws your way.

The right shoes can easily take you from work + play + casual outing + date night. I’m pretty sure someone somewhere once extolled the wisdom of having multiple pairs of shoes.

WHAT’S IN MY MAKE UP BAG

Real life looks a lot like this these days. Always on the go. I don’t spend long on my make up. Never really have? To be totally honest the majority of the time I put it on in the car.

Many of you have requested my everyday make up routine, but I keep feeling like I need to preface with the fact that I AINT FANCY. Remember when I lost my entire make up back in the Seattle airport, rebought alllll the things, then found it on the way home? Yaaaaa Craziest. I could spend all day in Sephora, I love trying new things, but I tend to go back to these tried + true products eventually. Not sure when I’ll learn that lesson.
