A little pigment

**Answers to a few questions: The tan I used is not mystic tan, but I'm not sure what it is called. I had it done at Awaken Spa, which is a fancy medical spa.  It cost $45. It looked really great and very natural. I wasn't orange or splotchy. I would recommend doing it about one or two days before an even. It looked the best the day that I took a shower. Now, six days later, I still have some color, but it has faded in places. It lasts between 7 and 10 days, but I think ten days is pushing it. Hope this helps.**


No need to call the authorities and file a missing person report, I  am here. Just busy.
It has been a whirlwind of a week and we have a longly anticipated, action-packed weekend ahead of us. My brother-in-law is getting married! I know that it is a very exciting time, but I am oddly excited about this weekend. We are so excited for the couple. And I like seeing my husband in a tuxedo. 
This, coupled with a few other things makes for one busy week and one tired lady.  

I loved all the magazine comments. It appears that Real Simple (which I do love and sometimes I take my friends old issues) is a popular one.  I am going to look into some of the home decor suggestions that you left. I am on a kick to completely re-do my house. The spring does the "all things new" stuff to me. Which, the only way that I know spring is brewing is by looking at my calendar. There has been no hint of spring in our weather. Oh well. Soon enough (I hope). 


Notice anything different?
...besides the fact that I have on no make-up. 

I had the spray tan thing done. It's the fancy kind, the one used by all the stars. And me.  So far, I am pretty impressed. I didn't tell my hubby. I wanted to see his reaction without knowing that I was doing it.  I will let you know what his face looks like when he sees his white, WHITE wife with an instant tan. 
He never seems to get as excited about my silly surprises. It's fun for me anyway. It's the little things that keep life exciting, right?

That's crazy cool!! I've left my days in the tanning bed behind but have really enjoyed spray on tans! Did someone spray it on for you or were you in a booth?

Lindsay said...

Where in Amarillo did you go to get your spray tan? My sister-in-law is getting married in a month, and I don't really want to be in my bridesmaid dress looking all pasty white... :-)

Great tan! Enjoy your wedding weekend and please do not stand next to me until that wears off.

It looks like it worked well! I thought when you were asking if something looked different that I was suppose to be comparing your thumbs!!! Anyways, it looks great and you are one tan mamma!!! Have fun at the wedding weekend; I'll be anxious to see pics!

Tara said...

Looks great! You're hair is getting really long by the way ;) You can stand next to Lindsey now.....see you tomorrow!

Sarah said...

Looks good! I need to do that. Im beyond pasty! And it obviously doesn't help that my husband and daughter are a nice pretty shade of brown.

Ashley said...

Oh. My. Goodness. I need to do that. I am so pasty white, but can't stand the thought of getting in a tanning bed. How much is it? Seriously, you look awesome!

Don't you just love an instant tan. I got one a few weeks ago for the first time and loved it.
The older I get, the whiter I get, and the harder it is for me to tan, So for us white girls it sure is nice!

Julia Soler said...

Looks great!!! Now, that is the healthy way to go for sure...I think I would need a couple layers of brown to not look white anymore, lol!

Tiffany said...

Very nice. It's nice to treat ourselves once in a while to a little fresh'ning up. Especially for Spring! Have fun at the wedding! Blessings!

Did you do the Mystic Tan? I used to do that every now and then in college and really liked it.

I think it looks great!
