Here Comes The Sun...


Or at least a fake tan that is.

Since I have never been tan I have decided to give the gradual tanning products a try. Now mind you I am WHITE. I am generally close to, if not the lightest shade of foundation by any brand out there. I fall into the "never tans, always burns" category.

For the face I got Neutrogena's Color Boosting Sunblock with SPF 30 in Fair and for my hot bod I bought Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer.
I am not looking forward to the stench known as dihyroxyacetone (the chemical that will make me hopefully not orange). I am however hoping for the best regarding the firming action. I really don't want to be forced into buying the $250 MBT shoes.

Should I post a before and after photo? Hmm...maybe of my forearm or something. Cross your fingers my face turns out okay cause I might just have to call out of work if something goes awry.

Piss Water Never Smelled Sweeter


This past weekend I went up to BK to have my friend Gabe entertain my ass. Last time I saw him he told me how he had gotten a scent from Le Labo in NYC. Now here is the thing about that, before he told me about Le Labo my interest had already been peaked from a blurb I had read about them. After I read the short I was on their site (Le Labo) and I knew I had to obtain a perfume for myself. My mind was blown when I learned Gabe got there before me.

The store is cute. I have to say it's not anything amazing and I didn't get the help I thought I would get, but I suppose I didn't need it anyways. I ended up going for the Ambrette which I later found out is meant for infants. It smells like pear and liquor which I find intriguing because it's meant for the wee ones and all. It had the sweetest base out of all of them and that is what made it right up my alley.

For some reason I felt the need to buy two fragrances within 3 days though and so I quickly found myself in Sephora and in front of the Fresh display. Now I love the smell of their Cannabis Santal, but on me it just smells like bad cologne. When I heard about the new Cannabis Rose I immediately crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I LOVED it! I bought the small set which included the fragrance, body cream, and body wash. I have never had a scent that I liked so much that I kept smelling myself and smiling, but now I do. I think that's why people have been standing noticably closer to me at work, however I am also just that charming.
