Sometimes you just need a tan instantly. Like on a Saturday when the weather is perfect and you’re invited to a spontaneous pool party. Luckily, there are a few things that make that a little easier: a cute swimsuit and Jergens® Natural Glow® Instant Sun® Sunless Tanning Mousse. It works with your skin tone to instantly deliver flawless, natural-looking color that mimics results from the sun; allows for precise even application that dries in 60 seconds. Basically fool proof, right?! Such a win for swimsuit season.

Jergens® Natural Glow® Products allow you to build your glow gradually or get a quick boost of color. No vacation days required.

Have a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by.

When packing for a trip, there are a few things that I’ve been bringing with me lately. My staples are neutral pieces that can be worn different ways so I have lots of options, comfortable shoes and Jergens^® Natural Glow^® +FIRMING Daily Moisturizer. I love this one because not only does it give me a sun-kissed glow, but it’s also clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite in as little as seven days.

I’ve been gradually building my summer tan with Jergens^® Natural Glow® products. I have been enjoying the added benefits of the FIRMING Daily Moisturizer, and I have incorporated it into my routine in the past few weeks. In as little as seven days I’ve already noticed a difference, which is so welcomed after a few over-indulgent winter months. I made sure to pack it along for a recent trip up the coast so I could reapply daily to keep my glow going strong.

I feel my best when I’m tan. However, now that I’m over 30, I know just how dangerous sun damage and all that comes with tan skin is. Luckily there are options to maintain a healthy sunless tan. I was so excited to try out Jergens® Natural Glow® FACE Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 20. It gradually creates a flawless, natural-looking color; specially formulated for use on your face and it contains SPF 20! Be sure to follow the package directions for the best sun protection.

I’ve never really used one I liked before so I went in with low expectations. Let me just say that this one leaves me feeling like I spent a week on a tropical vacation. Often I’ll use a self-tanner on my body and not my face, but feel mismatched. Jergens® Natural Glow® is the answer to my problems!

I plan on incorporating this into my spring and summer beauty routine, because being tan shouldn’t be limited to vacations. #amiright?

One of the questions I’m asked most is how do I do my hair? I wanted to get a tutorial up here but time got away from me… I still might one day. But for now I thought I’d share some of my hair secrets. I’m lucky to be blessed with a lot of straight hair. Although if it were up to me it would have at least a little wave/curl to it #grassisalwaysgreener.

I’d say about 85% of the time I let my hair air dry and don’t bother “styling” it. This is mostly during the week when I’m working. But sometimes I don’t touch it before I take pictures for the blog. Those are the ones you see of me with a hat on, a braid or just straight don’t get AF hair. However, I actually love to style my hair (though it does take some time) and these are the tools I rely on.

T3 wand  c/o- up until recently I used a regular curling iron without using the clamp. This thing is a game-changer that’s changed my life. Dramatic? Maybe but here’s the deal… you place a section of hair in the clamp and with a touch of a button, the technology detects the motion of your hand and automatically propels the barrel in the desired direction. It basically curls your hair at the turn of your wrist!

It’s a 10 Miracle Leave In – I’ve written about this before so I’ll keep it simple. My hair gets so tangled when it’s wet and this is the only thing that allows me to get a wet brush through it. I’d buy stock in it if I could.

Aveda Thickening Tonic and Love Oil c/o- if you’re heat styling your hair you need to treat it to a little TLC. These are both amazing and leave my hair feeling nourished and trauma free. I even use a little if I’m not putting heat on it while letting it air-dry.

1907 Blow Dryer and Round Brushes c/o- like I mentioned, I let my hair air-dry most of the time. So when I reach for a blow dryer it better be the best of the best. I’ve been loving this one from 1907 and the brushes that go along with it. When I want a sleek blow-out look this is what I use.

Happy weekend – thanks for reading!

How crazy is it that it’s already April?! I always love doing spring cleaning this time of year and really getting organized. We’re still settling into our new house, so I’m doing a lot of purging and organizing right now. My beauty favorites this month are a mixture of new finds as well as some old that I’m enjoying re-discovering as I unpack.

Rodan + Fields Redifine products: Recently I had the opportunity to try the Daily Cleansing Mask and the Triple Defense Treatment. The mask is for morning and night for just two minutes. I’ve been putting it on when I have a little extra time in the morning before I get ready and have already noticed a difference in my skin. I’ve been using the cream before bed and love how gentle but effective it seems so far.

Marrakesh Oil – I’ve always been a little unsure about using Morrocan oil in my hair. I thought it would weigh it down or make it greasy. But the last time I got my hair done I asked my stylist what she put in it to make it so shiny and soft and was so surprised that she’d been using morrocan oil. I’ve been loving this Marrakesh oil I  recently got in a gift bag.

Loree Rodkin Perfume Oil– If I had a signature scent it would be Coco Chanel. I’ve been wearing it since high school and never get sick of it. Sometimes I’ll buy a new scent and want to love it, but nothing really compared to my beloved Coco. Then I tried this and fell in love. I love that it’s a rollerball and apply it in the morning. The scent is light and fresh so it’s perfect for day time.

Mally Face Defender – I’m obsessed with this stuff. I’ve mentioned it before, but last summer a makeup artist at work turned me on to it. You smooth it onto your face with a sponge and it leaves you looking poreless and keeps you shine free all day.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – I never knew I needed a face setting spray before I tried this product. This is the first one I’ve used and it’s amazing. I spray it on my face once I finish my makeup and it seems to lock it in place all day, or night.

I always love trying new products, let me know if they are there any  you can’t live without?! Thanks for reading!

Now that it’s officially spring I’m back to wearing dresses and shorts most of the time. But right before my weekend trip to Palm Springs I noticed just how pasty and dull my skin looked and realized I needed a little color and FAST! Luckily I remembered my Jergens® Natural Glow® Daily Moisturizer and applied it a few nights before we left.

Self-tanner has come a long way in the last few years. Back in high school when I’d use it I’d wake up with stained palms and a weird smell. Now Jergens® makes it so easy to use. Even better, in my opinion, it’s streak and scent-free! I love how natural my tan looked and I made sure to pack it in my suitcase for the weekend and reapplied for an even darker glow.  The color is so natural I fooled people into thinking I’d spent time in the sun before the trip! Even better it gradually infuses your skin with a blend of moisturizers, antioxidants and Vitamin E. I’ll definitely be adding it to my daily routine.
