Trashy
Before we begin I will confess yes I did take a photo of a trash can! Now that we are passed that I love to have things organized and clean especially my car therefore I was on the hunt for a trash can that would fit into my car that was big enough for a long trip. I used a cereal container I found at target for $2.99! It is going to be super handy all year especially during family vacations!!!

Poo Less Nation
What a title to this post WOW. Anyway poo less is referring to NOT using shampoo. Well right now you might be thinking this post is still going to gross you out but in actuality it is a product review on Wen hair products. I just purchased my first Wen hair care system because I've been hearing about a lot of people going "poo free" and so I had to try it!
Basically I'm at my breaking point with my hormonal hair because since I had my child my hair just hasn't been the same. To revive it I tried the Wen poo free system with the sweet almond mint cleansing conditioner, re moist intensive hair treatment, and replenishing treatment mist. So far I am a fan because after three treatments my hair feels softer and my scalp feels refreshed not itchy from residue. It is a little lackluster because you don't get those pretty bubbles plus you do use a lot of product, but the overall outcome is very rewarding. I guess I'm on the poo less bus now because I think I'm working my way into the hair type I've always wanted!! I will keep you updated if things change but so far I'm hooked!!
Disclaimer: I purchased these products on my own and was not paid by Wen to write this review. HOWEVER if you are in good with Wen tell them I would accept any or all freebies from this point on!!

Gold
I am struggling with TV shows now that the Olympics are not on, but in the spirit of the games plus due to my now three year olds fav color I am turning on the gold by wearing gold nail polish. What do you think?!?!?

Sunless Tan Sunday Summer prep
Over the years I have experimented with various sunless tanning methods. Basically it breaks down into two categories 1.DIY or 2. Pay the pros! Under those categories for DIY you have options galore to choose from such as lotions, sprays, gels, towels, foam, and powder then under pay the pros you have sprays plus attention.
There are always pros and cons to every situation, but my fav way to get my glow on is to use St. Tropez Tanning Moose
St Tropez is an awesome brand for DIY tanning and you can get many many tans from this bottle.
If I go to the pros I use the Versa Spa machine at a local hair salon here is how to use one:
BUT the key to making EITHER of these options work is prep. You need to prep your skin before going there and a lot of times I hear people say that you need to exfoliate but there is much much more. Here is what I do step by step because I think the word exfoliate can throw some people off.
Before applying any tanning product to your skin - Do the following (this is what I do):
STEP 1: As close to the time that you are going to apply the product take a shower (use a body sponge or lofa with your fav shower gel or soap I like the Buf-Puf Double-Sided Body Sponge )
STEP 2: During the shower shave any areas that you would normally shave (make sure you use thick shaving cream I like Skintimate Moisturizing Shave Gel, Sensitive Skin)
STEP 3: Apply a scrub and rub it all over your body (I like to use a simple mix of Extra Virgin olive oil and Sugar)
STEP 4: Shave again (TRUST me you will have super soft skin)
STEP 5: Dry off really well and do not put on any lotion except on areas like elbows, knees, fingers, and toes/bottoms of feet because you do not want those areas to get too much product and look way darker than anywhere else
After the product is applied:
STEP 1: Check for any areas that might look a little streaky and put some latex gloves on put a dime size amount of your fav lotion in your gloves rub all over to even out your product if you do not have gloves then use your hands but wash them ASAP or they will be stained
STEP 2: Do not use hot hot water showers/bath and apply lotion after every shower after to make your tan last longer
Hope this helps my friends that have been asking what I do not to look really streaked with my fake tans! :)
