Let me be the first to say that when I think of red lips the word sweet isn’t really first to come to mind…
Other S words like Siren, Sexy, or Sinful come to mind first.
And yet, a few photos I saw recently showed me that, when paired with soft hair, subtle eye makeup and a serene white top…
red lips can be as sweet as a kitten in a mailbox.
…OK ALMOST as sweet.
I used: NYX Round Case Lipstick Chic Red
Nothing says,
“My Tan is as fake as Madonna’s British accent.”
Like tanner stained hands.
So the logical thing, I suppose, would be to wear gloves… but what if I don’t have gloves? What if I just want to put some tanner on my face and I don’t want to go to the trouble of gloving up? What if I prefer rubbing it in with my hands ungloved?
These questions have haunted me for a long time now.
I tried a bunch of different solutions, including rubbing bleach on my hands…which worked but would probably poison me and give me all kinds of diseases. Rachel (my sis) and I decided to just try everything in her pantry that sounded like a possibilty. Vinegar- nothin’ Lemon Juice-fresh smelling nothin’ and so on.
When we finally tried Baking soda we were amazed!
We mixed it with water and it made a nice (subtly gritty) paste. When we rubbed it on our palms the tanner washed off completely. It doesn’t leave a trace! We also tried it on our elbows and knees (or anywhere your tanner could streak) and it worked like a charm there too.
I am starting to think if it can’t be fixed with baking soda or corn starch…it can’t be fixed period.
I landed myself a man!
His name is Nick Killpack and he is incredible.
He took me to San Francisco (the city we met in) on a surprise trip and popped the question!
I was 100% surprised and let me just tell you that took some serious skill on his part.
It ain’t easy to get one by on this little detective.
I’m really excited to blog about wedding stuff and I am really excited to have the prettiest ring ever, but mostly I am just completely head over heals in love with this guy and excited marry the heck out of him.
So don’t be mad, I’ll make my absence up to you with some gems, starting tomorrow. Promise.
Oceans of love!
Cara
