Beauty Secret #1: the BEST self tanner

When I was young and naïve I LOVED the tanning beds. Now that I am an adult, mom and all knowing, (or at least I think I am) I decided I should probably be responsible and not tan in beds anymore. Just for my own health and well being. 
 So I went to the next best thing... No not the beach. (Dang it, I wish!) But the absolute BEST self tanner. I really have never been into self tanning sprays or lotions. But I was introduced to an Airbrush Spray Tan at Amara Day Spa by one of my patients. So I scheduled one. I was excited to see how I would like it. I went to the spa the day of my appointment expecting that it was just a normal spray tan, like at the tanning salon. One of those big machines you stand in, no one else in the room with you, and you get sprayed... 
Well, just FYI, it was not like at a normal tanning salon!
 I walked back into the room, and the girl that walked me back told me to strip down to whatever I feel comfortable in. She said most girls go butt naked. But do whatever you want. After telling me to strip down, she walked out of the room and told me to just yell at her when I was dressed down and ready. I acted all cool and calm. But lets be real people... I just had a BABY!!! I don't like being naked in front of my own husband right now.. And he has seen me naked countless times. So of course I don't want to get butt naked in front of a chick I don't even know!!!
Haha, not a fun surprise. But, I swallowed my pride and I did it.. For the sake of an even tan.. The things we do for beauty! Man, I sound pathetic. Honestly though, it wasn't as bad as I thought.
I mostly felt bad for her having to look at my super awesome (or not so awesome) post baby body. But she was totally cool about it all... And the tan was AWESOME! The airbrush effect makes it look so good. I totally recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good, natural looking spray tan.
I just wanted to tell you guys about my experience so you weren't surprised like I was.
 But all in all, it was a GREAT experience, and I will definitely do it again. Probably right before Christmas. You gotta look good for the holidays and all of the photos, right?!
If you are not comfortable with getting in your birthday suit in front of another chick, I have an awesome product for you!
As I was walking out of the salon, I asked if they recommended any self tanners; I have lots of fun events and parties coming up and I just want to make sure I have something for touch ups just in case I can't make it to the salon in time. They showed me this awesome self tanner, they told me it was one of their top sellers. It is called South Seas Tahitian Tan Mist, all of their employees use and love it, including the cute owner. They told me it was the perfect product to keep the tan looking fresh, and gives you an extra glow and bronzed look. So of course, I had to try it. I used it for the first time a couple of days ago, and I absolutely LOVE it. I love it so much that I went back the very next day that I used it and got me a second can. Yes, it is THAT good.
 

Me, the day after I used the Spray Mist for the first time. I love the color.
 
I linked the products website to the name of the tanner (highlighted in pink) if you would like to buy online, or you can go into Amara Day Spa (870 N 980 W Orem, UT 84057) and buy it there.
 Either way, I would just buy it and try it. I am pretty sure you will love it.
 
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
