I'm in a wedding next weekend wearing a blush dress. To not look ghostly, I tried out Jergens glow self tanner last night. The 3 day one. I had very low expectations but holy crap there is a difference this morning. Im impressed. I love their one that takes about a week. I'm not fond of the smell though Oh man the smell is sooo strong. The tanner smell comes out and covers it soon enough tho. I bought the 3 day to jump start and then plan to use the weekly one until the wedding. How often to put it on to upkeep your tan?

Today has actually turned out to be a nice day despite calling for cool and rain. On Tues this week my BF and I built an above ground garden. I'm excited to transplant all my vegetables in while the kids nap today!

OK, I could not catch up on the randoms from the weekdays. Did I miss anything majorly important?!?!
Happy to have 3 days. Monday, we'll go visit the ILs. Today I went for a 20 mile bike ride with a friend in the morning and did the grocery shopping. I'm about to work on cleaning our pollen room, wait, I meant the porch. Not sure what else is in store. I also want to work on moving some furniture upstairs with DH so we are more back to normal.
Graduation at the school where I teach is this coming week, so I'll have a couple of long days at work for award ceremonies and graduation. But the graduating seniors are super excited and it'll be worth it.

I haven't done it in a bit though.

I might need to look into the Jergens tanner....I want some color but don't want more damage to my skin at this point!

I just bought a pair of Vans high tops. From Zappos though, so I can return them easily if I want to. Coral.

How often to put it on to upkeep your tan? The only tanner I've found without a smell is the Tanwise stuff. But it is not a gradual one so you have to be more careful with application. I like to use it or Tan Towels before an event or something big, and jergens for regular use or maintenance. I am naturally a lovely ghostly white 🙄 Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk Where do you buy tanwise? Which one? And tanning wipes? A whole new world. The last time I self tanned I just bought St Tropez bc YouTube told me to and I was too lazy to look haha

My current situation. I could move her to the crib, but snuggles! Wish I could nap with her, but H is gone and DS is here too.

We have hot water. Though I can't officially confirm because I still haven't showered.

Wait, I said I had a crush on Brad from Hey Dude, but that was the brunette chick, right? That is not who I meant. I meant the brunette dude. IMDB tells me his name is Ted.

The memorial was very lovely...we ended up going late because M refused to nap unless I was holding him (this is getting old...Sorry fierymama I was there last week, loving the cuddles...now he won't sleep unless I'm rocking him). Then he had brutal tantrum when trying to dress. We met her family, and they were very lovely people. So so sad though.

Has anyone gotten a spray tan before? I'm going to get one for the first time soon... is there a big difference between just the booth and having an actual person spray you? Like, results-wise?

Had a really nice run with my best friends this morning to support a little guy that just had a heart transplant! (He turns 1 Monday). Afterwards we got free breakfast bowls from a food truck! So yum.

taketheshot I can't imagine that many weddings and such. Aren't you in one or two of them as well? Enjoy your weekend! I am in 2, my H is in 1. The dates of them are 6/16, 7/1, and 7/7. 2 other weekends are bachelor/ette parties and then a few birthdays

taketheshot, nothing exciting for my dreams. You were upset about something and I was advising you to post it within the group. Honestly, you've been on my mind lately so it's not a surprise you ended up in my dream. Then I was going to take A to a beiber concert but there was a super huge (think chiller movie sized creatures) gator outside our door and we had to figure out how to escape....lol

I 100% prefer person over booth. It's not streaky on the sides. The color is spread more evenly by person. They can do more fine distributions around wrists, ankles, neck etc.

Spent all afternoon at the boardwalk in Point Pleasant and the kids had a BLAST! Just got back and as we were turning onto my ILs road, Nora projectile vomited all over herself 🤢What a mess, ugh.
