Tanning - the anti-white meet

Can we talk about tanning for a minute? I don’t mean tanning in the traditional sense as I personally know it (go out in the sun; forget the sunscreen; burn like a lobster; peel like a snake for a week; remain pasty white all year long). I mean tanning supplies as in there is a whole market of stuff out there for tanning. Who knew? I would love to have one of those booths where you get the spray on tan, in my house. That way I could go get some color at my convenience. But then again, getting that orange/brown color out of a white bra, not so easy. Ha! They don’t tell you about that stuff when you get a spray on tan.

Dr. Pepper 10

Seriously?

Because zero calories wasn't good enough for some people?

Marketed at men?

Tastes just like Diet Dr. Pepper to me.

I don't get it.

I'll take a new body for $500 Alex

There are times when I wish I could trade in my used and abused body for a newer, younger, firmer version. A version that doesn’t ache in the morning; One that doesn’t creak at the end of the day. One like I had when I was in my early 20s. My husband, he’s wishing the same thing right now. He is two surgeries in on his knee and still no resolution to the pain he lives with daily. He hasn’t worked since before Thanksgiving and the doctor won’t release him until at least March, if then. I was reading about a new new back surgery that is easier on the patient and less intrusive. I wish someone would propose something like that for my husband’s knee that would actually fix the problem too. Because this is hugely frustrating.

GIfts - they take some real work sometimes

I have three daughters.  And three nieces.  And because I’m experienced in all things pink and perfumy, I always know exactly what to buy that will be the hit at birthday parties and Christmas.  Girls are so easy.  If it smells: buy it.  If it’s furry or cute or cuddly:  buy it. 

Boys on the other hand, they are not so easy. Because it’s not just about video games or musical instruments.  It’s about what video game and which musical instrument.  It’s about what the other kids are playing with and what sport is in season.  Yep, boys are hard.  And choosing gifts for boys is something I’m not a pro at.  And it takes me a long time.  And sometimes, I don’t pick the hit of the party. Except that one time when my nephew was 3 and I bought him a jug of 100 rubber bugs.  He loved it.  His mom, not so much.

Slushy Magic?

I know we are supposed to review items on here, but I am writing today to ask if anyone has tried this. I keep seeing the commercial for it and I really want to try it, but I'm a chicken and I don't want to spend that much money if it doesn't work..lol

So, has anyone tried it? Pros, cons, thoughts? I would love to hear reviews!
