MAC Skinsheen leg spray

Okay so this product was released last year in June I believe. I just bought it a couple days ago and literally recieved it in the mail today. I seriously don't know how my poor pastey legs survived this winter without this black little bottle of areirosol goodness. I am an olive complexion more on the medium to fair side and I purchased the Medium Dark shade and it was perfect. The consistancy is like a mousse / gel and altho the website says it is best applied with the 179 Body Buffer Brush but I don't know how my legs could look any better. All i used were my hands.

So what you do is you shake it up and spray on your legs and just rub it in like a lotion, it's not a tanner so wherever you spread it is where it's gonna go. The coverage it gives you is amazing, almost like your legs are airbrushed but not at all fake looking. And the cool thing is that it comes off with soap and warm water so you can wash your hands right after and theres no evidence left behind.

I NEVER use self tanner on my legs mainly because I'm afraid it's going to streak. Its the tightest skin on my body therefore it's going to show a lot more if it streaks. I digress....

So after you apply it , it basically dries in about 5 min or sobut you're supposed to wait 10 min to put clothes on. Today I wore a skirt and it was a poppy red so i can't really say if it rubbed off. But after reading a couple reviews on the product I'm confident that it dosen't rub off on clothing.

The decription states that it is supposed to last for about 2 washings. And you just rub it off in the shower with your loofa or exfoliant, and the warm water loosens up the polymers (or something?)

Anyway the cost is a little much especially for the size but saving up for it is worth it !

Thats about it. I'll leave you with one last little gem from John Mayers Tweet:

"Wishing you all a very happy, safe weekend. Let's all take a moment to realize the comforts we've been afforded through hard-fought freedom."

Nail Polish Addiction

So. I'm a chronic nail biter. I bite when I'm hungry, happy, annoyed (especially annoyed)...whatever I just bite. So lately everyone and their mom has been talking about polish...So, naturally I jump on the banwagon...Well to my surprise and amazement I haven't once bitten my nails in the past 2 weeks. But i have, however, injested a fair amount of nailpolish! Seriously my nails have never looked better. I give myself a mini manicure every night which involves:

Removing nailpolish (usually with my teeth followed by remover)
Manicuring my cuticles -- Sally Hansen 'Healthy Cuticles Now!'
Filing
Polishing -- Basecoat, 2 or more coats of polish, Sec N' Dry Topcoat

My hubby has laughed at the choice of colors that I've picked but he says 'You can paint your nails whatever color you want as long as you stop biting them!' (read that in a nice voice not a Hitler one)
Anyway to my 2 subscribers (thankyou very much by the way..I'm thrilled) And to anyone else that reads this I am on the hunt for the perfect peach shade...Nothing too muddy and nothing too pink. Something cream possibly but I'm open to gold shimmer as well!

Lush Lovelyness

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the past year and a half you've probably heard of 'LUSH'. They are a handmade cosmetics company.

Truth be told when i buy something from there I either LOVE it or HATE it. Theres really no in-between as the products are very intense smelling.

Anyhow, I ordered 2 massage bars that I'd never tried before. One being the Strawberry Feels Forever and the other being the Therapy bar. I have to say the big tacky looking strawberry won my heart over. It smells UN BE LEAVABLE! I can't even describe the smell, it's like childhood innocence mixed with summer, candy, and warm milk. Weird combo yes BUT STILL. Thats what it smells like to me.

The Therapy bar smelled like crap mixed with flowers and rotten oranges. But give it a week and I'll probably end up liking it.

I also recieved Mask of Magnaminty, Honey I washed the Kids, and Quirenine of Nivera soap. All I liked the smell so far but have yet to use it. Anyway I'm not going to really post a review about it since you can just go 'You Tube' it and get a much better description of it.

The Honey I Washed The Kids soap is probably a soap that I would use for myself but I'm going to use it for my kids. I would love them to smell as fresh as the bar does, even if it is but for a fleeting moment, right before they take a nose dive in ketchup.

Monkey Mom's

I was at a “playdate” the other day. I feel like these playdates are more of a hassle than anything….anyway we’re at the park and one of the moms I watched just started LOADING on the sunblock on her kids while she’s doing this shes saying “I’m sooo crazy when it comes to my kids and the sun” so the other mom watches her and about 7 min later starts lathering on the sunblock and pretty much repeats what the other mom says…It was 7:45 in the morning.
Why do we as moms do this? We fall into this weird habit of following what other moms do. Is it out of acceptance? Sometimes someone will mention an achievement that their child did or something that they make sure they do for their kids and then you think “well my kids been doing that since he was ___” or “I’ve been doing that since he was___” I feel like i’m in a big kids pool doggy paddling to keep up with the others and show them that I can do the same and you’re not any better than i am.
Humility is a trait that I struggle with and have noticed its a trait that more mom’s need. Is it THAT important that you tell us your kid knows how to draw a circle? Or that you compulsivly do flashcards with your 4 month old? Can’t we talk about current events, recipes, or even the weather without mentioning an achievement your child has made?

Maybe i need new friends.

Brazilian Wax

My husband's birthday is coming up so I decided to surprise him with a little treat. So I had the ever popular Brazilian wax. I must say it wasn't too bad. I walked into a really quiet area of the spa, fit with aroma therapy candles, soft music, and dim lighting. The lady told me to undress from the waist down and make myself comfortable. When she came back she had another woman with her. UGH. I was sort of okay with that as I figured I should just leave all modesty at the door. Anyway I guess the girl was in training. Let me tell you I had a full education on how to perform a wax. Hair growth, wax placement, working in a 'U' formation. Just so you know, the most sensitive area (and when i say sensitive i mean the area that makes your eyes pop out of your head when the strip is pulled) is the top, you know the flat part where your pubic bone is. Luckly it only takes one strip to do this area so it's quickly done and over with. The other parts were really not that bad. Mind you I took 3 Tylonol about an hour and a half before I went. All in all it was a good experience. That was AT the spa. Later on that day after I got home and went to the bathroom I felt a lot of sensitivity in the area where the elastic of your panty is closest to your inner thigh. So I decided to just wear loose skirt and let soothe. It still seemed painful so I went and got a product by Sally Hansen called, Zero Irritation Medicated Creme. The product said it was specificly geared towards any procedure that involved hair removal and was safe to use in the bikini area. I whined like my three year old after i put it on. It hurt worse than the wax procedure in itself. The burning lasted about 10 min and after that It honestly felt much less tender than before. Anyway to conclude. I would definately get this done again but would maybe wear a loose skirt and ditch the undies for a day.
