Product Review: L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Tanning Towelette ---- HELP!

Ladies - please help me! 

I need suggestions on which sunless tanners work for you. 

I have been pasty for far too long and I need a little color in my life. 

I use to be an avid tanner back in the day. 

I played volleyball in high school and college so it was necessary that I maintain a nice golden glow since I lived in spandex. 

I loved being tan. 

It's slimming. 

See picture #2. I don't have to wear much makeup - just throw on a little mascara and eye liner because it makes my skin look good. 

My angel kisses come out. 

You get the picture. It's just makes me feel good about myself.

Then I started working at Healing Waters Spa & Cosmetic Clinic and saw first hand what sun damage does. 

Wrinkles, wrinkles, and more wrinkles. 

Saggy skin.

Hyper-pigmented skin.

Skin cancer.  

None one which are flattering or worth it.

Since then - I've tried a few different spray tan places but haven't been fully satisfied. 

If you know me - you know I'm cheap. 

Paying $15-$30 for a tan that lasts maybe a week doesn't cut it for me. 

I would rather buy a lotion and do it at home when it's convenient for me.

So yesterday evening I tried out the L'oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes.

You can purchase these 6 single use towelettes at target for $9. 

I thought using a towelette would be easier to handle, there aren't any gloves involved and I wouldn't have to worry about putting on too much or too little.

Conclusion: 

 My upper body looks great but not so much my lower body. 

It said to use sparingly around your elbows, knees and ankles but clearly I didn't follow the rules. 

Don't mind the crusty toes.

 This preggo can hardly bend over these days - so I'm going to get a much needed pedicure with my mom on Friday!

The tricky part about using a towelette is that you don't know where exactly you are applying it. You just rub it on hoping you cover everything. I also slept in short shorts last night so I woke up with discolored/splotchy legs. I'm sure it's because I get super hot in my sleep and probably sweat some areas off. Gross. I also can't stand the smell and neither can CT. Even though I took a shower this morning I could smell myself all day at work. That's the worst! 

So ladies .. help me out please! 

Do you have a sunless tanner that works well for you? 

Week 27

(playing around with the self timer)

How far along: 27 Weeks 

Food Comparison: Cauliflower

Gender: Boy!! 

Weight gain: +15 lbs 

Maternity clothes: I hit up target's clearance rack for a few more pieces the past week - two shirts. I'll be hitting up my favorite discount stores (TJMAXX, Ross & Gordman's) to look for a shower outfit for this weekend. 

Stretch marks: No. Thank goodness!

Belly button in or out: In.

Sleep: When CT sleeps like a baby, I sleep like a baby. It is pretty brutal sleeping with him in our queen sized bed. He sleeps diagonal and his elbows are always under my pillow. I'm getting annoyed just typing about it.

Best moment last week: Hearing Kingston's heart beat and finding out we get another sonogram next week! 

Worst moment last week: Being freaked out about the C word. Read about it here.  

Miss anything: Margaritas and my pants buttoning.

Movement: Yes. It definitely goes in spurts. It's funny though because when CT talks to him - he is always so active after. He loves his daddy already. <3

Cravings: Sour cream. I ordered mozzarella sticks yesterday with a side of sour cream. 

Queasy or sick: Some movements make me sick - but as quick as it comes - it goes. 

Looking forward to: Mani's & Pedi's with my mom on Friday and our first family baby shower on Saturday! 

Prayer Request: This week I pray for sleep and for cooler weather. 

Bi-Racial = Happy

So there is this thing going around social media these days about 100 happy days. 
I must not be that cool because I don't really know what it's about ... 

but it has got me thinking about certain things that make me happy. 

First - lets start off with a little Pharrell: 

Doesn't that song just make you want to jump around the room and dance all ridiculous like? No? Maybe that's just me. 

Anyways ... 
What makes my heart so happy is bi-racial couples and bi-racial families  (and not just because I'm apart of one).  I think it's beautiful.
CT and I talk about this all the time - eventually in a million bizillion years (if Jesus doesn't come back before then) our whole world is going to be one big mixed race.  I think that's how God wanted it. 
There would be no hate - only love.  Everyone would look similar - beautiful. Everyone would be on an equal playing field.  There would be no stereotypes based on color and no persecution. 
I love seeing the older generation couples - because you knew they did it before it was ever anywhere near acceptable. When it was completely against the norm and when people judged and looked down on them. These people are my favorite! I am inspired by their braveness and their ability to fight for love.
It's not about what someone looks like (even though my hubby is a complete hottie) but it's about how they treat you and how they love you.  Love is beautiful - whether you are black, white, grey, or purple. 
I love love. It makes me happy. 

My Life in Lists: You're Hired

Linking up again with Marci and Kelli again.

If I could hire someone to do anything for me - what would it be? 

1. CLEAN! 

Duh! Who wouldn't love to hire a housekeeper?

I enjoy picking things up and putting everything in its place (especially when I'm mad - it's the best therapy) but I do not enjoy deep cleaning. 

Dusting. Vacuuming. Washing windows. Scrubbing the counters. 

Nope ... not for me. 

2. Hairstylist/MakeUp Person

I've never been good at this. I have a handful of go-to hairstyles - most of which include a ponytail. 

I also never wore anything but mascara and eyeliner in high school and not much has changed since then.

If I could hire someone - I would hire Kim Kardashian's glam squad.

See the amazing transformation! 

I'd love them to work their magic on me. 

3. Masseuse

CT and I take turns rubbing/scratching each others backs every night for 10 minutes. 

I'm greedy and this isn't enough for me. 

If I could hire someone - I would hire a personal Masseuse to give me an hour massage each morning and each night. 

4. Baker

I enjoy cooking meals but I'm not that grand of a baker. 

If I could hire someone - I would hire someone to make me delicious goodies. Cinnamon rolls. Homemade donuts. Brownies, brownies, and more brownies. Icecream cakes. 

You get the picture. 

All this preggo can think about these days are sweets.

5. Personal Stylist

Especially now that I wear the same 4 shirts and same 4 dresses all the time, I'd hire a personal stylist. I'm too cheap to buy any new clothes for this growing bump and it doesn't help that I only shop at the discount stores. 

If I could hire someone - I would hire someone to help me find some good pieces that can be worn all year - with or without a bump.

What would you hire out if you could?
