Sunshine in a Tube

Description: Jergens® natural glow express Body MoisturizerMy friend Rachel and I share a brain most of the time. One of the things that we completely agree upon is sunless tanning.  She and I will go to great lengths to look like sun kissed Goddesses without worrying about damaging and cancer causing UV Rays.  However, I think that Rachel has been much braver than me on the experimenting side.  She has given everything a try from airbrush tanning – both organic and non-organic – to spray tans – both at the salon and in the bottle.  So when she said she was ah-dicted to a somewhat new sunless tanning lotion – new to me – Jergens® Natural Glow Express, I had to give it a try. 

In anticipation of possibly laying by the pool in Vegas – which sadly did not happen – I went to the tanning salon and did a spray tan.  I picked up the Natural Glow Express – which should not be confused with Jergens® Natural Glow, which is da bomb too, but doesn’t work as fast— to maintain my spray tan.  When I realized there would be no pool time and I was nursing a wicked hang-over, I decided to forgo the daily applications.

But last Thursday, the weather report said sunny and 80 degrees all weekend, so I slathered that lotion on like a drowning woman.  By Saturday morning, I was shocked to see that it had either rejuvenated my spray tan from last week or the “EXPRESS” is no joke.

So ladies, get yourselves out there to the drug store and buy yourself some sunshine in a tube and sunny skies that are safe will be yours again.

I Was a Club MTV Dancer

Image
Back in the 1990s, I had a friend who worked at In Style Magazine. She had some connections and got me, and another friend, a gig dancing on Club MTV. The original host – Downtown Julie Brown – was holding the mic and the Pet Shop Boys were rocking The Palladium in New York City during those early years of the MTV show. The show, which was modeled after American Bandstand, cut back and forth between teen-agers (uh, hum and young adults) who would dance to hit songs and videos of those songs.   Often there were musical guests who performed their new singles; such guests included Paula Abdul, Deee-lite, Salt-N-Peppa, Black Box, Vanilla Ice, Samantha Fox and MC Hammer just to name a few. The first time I had the opportunity to dance, I was completely excited but wasn't sure what to expect. I was told to bring several changes of clothes as we would be filming part of a season over a two day period. At the time, I was still going to college and living at home w...

For The Love of Shopping

Back in the days before I had kids, I would hoard gift cards and checks sent for my birthday and Christmas.   I would savor them for a day in the future when I could get my “shop” on.     My master plan was to set out – all by my lonesome – to my favorite local mall on a Saturday or Sunday morning.   I would always splurge and stop at Starbucks for a Venti latte. Then I would walk the mall, checking out all my favorite stores and scouring the fashion, sales and prices at various shops. Comfy shoes were a must because I never, ever purchased on my first walk through.   This was my research.   Being on a budget, I felt compelled to find the right pieces for my wardrobe but, even more importantly, at the right price. One shopping trip in particular, I ventured into my local mall’s double-decker Forever 21.   I had my coffee, the music was pumping and a gift card was in my pocket:   I was on a natural high that was fueled by the endorphin...

Two In-Vince-able Collections

Image
I committed a fashion faux pas. At first, I wasn’t even aware of my transgression but, after doing a little research, I realized that I have confused two fashion brands: VINCE and Vince Camuto. Now, this is not surprising and, on occasion, I must live up to my blond hair.  Such as the Louboutin debacle:  I own two pair of the iconic red-soled shoes yet it took me three fashion seasons to be able to say the brand name without stuttering or second guessing myself.  So, with all the different designers and brands out there, I simply can’t assume all the responsibility to know everything about everything, but I certainly try.  So, in this case, I realized that I had to educate myself and figure out the difference between VINCE and Vince Camuto. VINCE, a contemporary clothing line for women and men, was founded in 2002 by Rea Laccone and Christopher LaPolice on the principals of iconic design and superior quality, according to Wikipedia. Sold to the Kellwood Company ...
