Maui Baby!

It's that time again!  Time for spring dresses and flip flops and of course...a tan!  Now if you are like me, VERY fair, you probably have trouble tanning.  I usually am either white or red :)  But when I lived in Hawaii, I found a product that helped me tan called Maui Babe.  Now I still don't get a dark tan, but this seems to be the only product that helps me get any color other than red!
I use the Maui Babe Browning Lotion.  It smells a little like coffee and is a little messy, so I recommend putting it on before you go out in the sun and let it dry a little bit. 

Maui Babe is made on the island of Maui.  You can read about the Maui Babe story here.

You can buy Maui Babe at http://www.mauibabe.com/.  You can also find this product at Ulta stores (http://www.ulta.com/).

Happy Tanning!

Flawless skin without going to the dermatologist

I read Kandee Johnson's makeup blog and she is really amazing and has all kinds of tips on skin care, makeup, etc.  A while back I saw this video:



I don't know about you but I cannot afford to go to the dermatologist to get microdermabrasion!  Too expensive!!!!  So I thought I would try the DermaNew Facial Rejuvenation System.  Kandee suggests getting it on www.beautychoice.com, but I ended up getting mine on Overstock.com.  It was a little cheaper.  They are also listed on ebay.


It comes with a resurfacing tool, 2 foam applicators, 1 brush applicator and microdermabrasion creme.  So far I really love this product.  It gives your face a massage that feels nice.  My only complaint is that my hand feels weird after holding the resurfacing tool for 2 minutes...but nothing I can't handle! :) 

After I use the resurfacing tool and wash off the cream, I use the Target brand Up & Up All Day Complete UV moisturizer (compare to Olay All Day Complete UV Moisture Lotion), also made in the USA.  I love this stuff!


I hope to have skin like Kandee's one day!  I'm glad to have found a microdermabrasion product that I can use at home, that costs less than 1 visit to the dermatologist...and it is made in the USA!

Happy Smoothing!
