Self Tanners
Home Faux: Your Guide to a DIY Safe Tan
Everything NOT under the sun you need to know for a healthy summer tan glow. Most trend spotters point a manicured finger at Coco Chanel’s fateful French Riviera trip for the fashionably tan craze. I blame Malibu Barbie circa 1971 (yes, I know I’m showing my age!). Role playing with a deeply tanned, platinum blond […]
Killer Tan on Demand: Jane Iredale Tantasia Self Tanner
I don’t know about you, but I feel a billion times more beautiful when I am tan. I’m not sure if it’s my skin tone or hair color, but I definitely can’t rock the pasty sultry look like Twilight beauty Kristin Stewart. I also have a mega-fear of skin cancer (and you should too!) so […]

The readers and editors of Allure magazine have one thing in common: The search for the best beauty products – a conditioner that tames the frizzies, an eyeliner that glides on effortlessly, a moisturizer that delivers on its promise of plump, glowing skin.

Tan on the Fly: L'Oreal Sublime Bronze One Day Tinted Gel
Eek! I’m fading. I love a good spray tan but sometimes my skin needs a break … so does my wallet. But my blueish-white natural skin tone doesn’t go well with my summer wardrobe. When I want color but don’t have time to wait for a self-tanner to do its magic, I whip out the […]
Product Review: Fake Bake Self-Tanning Mousse
So, I originally had this product review slated for the new Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist created by Lindsay Lohan and her personal airbrush tanning guru. But unfortunately, that experiment was a complete bust. As directed, I shook the bottle and sprayed a line down my freshly exfoliated leg. The Sephora consultant who sold me on […]
Glow for Good: Jergens and Jane Krakowski Get Real for The Skin Cancer Foundation
We’ll admit it, we think a little glow never hurt anyone. That said, don’t think for a second we’re endorsing frying your pretty skin in the sun.

Product Review: Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Mist from LOreal
In the ongoing search for the perfect home bronzer, I gave the new Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist from L’Oreal Paris a whirl. Granted, my first experience with a home tanning mist did not go well and I was initially hesitant to give it a try. The $20 bottle of airbrush tanner that I […]
Product Review: Solerra Sunless Tanning Mitt
Arizona is quickly becoming a hotbed for shopping, dining, spa-ing, and oh yeah, skin cancer. Currently, Arizona ranks No. 2 in the entire world for skin cancer incidence rates, which is why we need to be extra careful to shield skin from our year-round sunny days. So how can we protect our delicate dermis from […]
Big Butts and Other Sad Truths
So here’s a funny story. One that only a woman could truly appreciate. About a month ago, my dear husband of nearly 8 years (who will not be playing the role of Spa Boy for this particular story) lost his marbles. We were at a local Mexican restaurant, owned oddly enough by a Lebanese family, […]
