Tan for the summer ||

I recently stumbled across Loving Tan and decided to give their product a try because lets face it this summer I haven't been on my tan game.  With a 5 month old my life has been kind of wild and I don't have time to go to a tanning bad, sit out by our pool, or even get a spray tan.  Not to mention I am so not ready to show off this body in front of anyone so a spray tan was out of the running fast.  But I love to be tan, I love to have that summer glow that makes everyone think that I do have time to go out and go tanning HA!  Anyways, I decided to order this one and I got it in the mail and I had to try it!  I showered, exfoliated, shaved and jumped out and got started!  I have a applicator mitt found here that I use and it works SO good. I also purchased this to help exfoliate and I love it.  It makes my skin feel fresh and brand new.  I highly recommend purchasing an applicator mitt because that way your hands won't go crazy colors.  This doesn't make you orange, it doesn't take long and it works really really well.  I love how my tan turned out and I got so many compliments and people telling me i looked way tan.


You start by showering, shaving and exfoliating.  Then you dry off (don't use any products on your body), and start your tan!  Before I start I always put lotion on my ankles and wrists.  You can do your knees and elbows but I never have any trouble so I don't.  Then you just pump it onto the mitt and start rubbing away.  Most the time I just do my legs and arms but if T is around I will have him do my back and such!  I also do my face every other time just to blend a bit.  Anyways, so after you apply it all on you just wait.  This is where I will read, watch tv, clean, etc. for two hours until it is set in.  Then after two hours you jump in and shower!  It reveals an awesome tan that'll last for days and it really does look so natural.  It doesn't turn you orange or anything! I promise that you will love how this turns out & will use this from now on!  To apply, it takes me about 10 minutes to slap it on!  It is so quick, and the bottle looks like it'll last for a while.  This is my second time trying it and I still love it.

after applying ----- regular white legs

12 books in 36 days ||

I have been so into reading this last month it has become quite insane.  I love going up to Barnes & Noble and grabbing me an iced tea from starbucks and finding a good book to read.  Within the 36 days I have finished 12 books.  T W E L V E.  I don't think I have read this much in all my life but it has been such a stress reliever and has done be so good.  So today, I am sharing the recent books that I read.  

12,3- the fifty shades of grey trilogy.  I really really liked these books.  I saw the first movie and I loved it.  I decided I couldn't wait until the next movie came out so I started to read the books.  I instantly fell in love.  I know some people had a controversy fit over fifty shades but I for one loved it.  There was much more to the books then just sex.  It started off that way but it changed into a love that Christian had never experienced.  Anna completely changed him and I loved how it turned out.  I just wish there was more onto the sequel because I loved Christian & Anna and would like to know more about their future.  The books had mystery, complications, love, and all the other emotions that drawn you in.  I cannot wait for the next movie to come out. I am having withdrawals. 

4- Grey.  This is a sequel to fifty shades of grey and is written from Christians point of view rather then Annas.  I thought I loved fifty shades.. holy I love love loved this book from his point of view.  He is such a mysterious character that i was so great to see and feel his emotion from his side rather then from Annas.  I hope that EL James will come out with the other two books from his side because it was one of my favorites.

5- Paper Towns by John Green.  This book I finished literally within 48 hours.  I was so drawn in and addicted and to say I am excited for the movie to release is just an understatement.  It was such a good book to read and I wanted to read it before the movie came out and I was afraid I wouldn't like it nor finish it but within 48 hours this book was done.  I really hope there is another book coming out because they way the author left it wasn't my favorite. (I hate crappy endings)  I won't spoil anything but go see the movie on July 24!

6- 99 days by Katie Cotugno.  I recently finished this book last night and I loved it in a different way. It is about this girl named Molly who cheated on her boyfriend (Patrick) with his brother(Gabe).  She ended up running away to a boarding school after her mother decided to make it into a famous novel.  She recently returned back to her home town and was getting all kinds of crap for what happened and she stumbled into the brother Gabe. I won't go into details because you should read it for yourself but the ending pretty much sucked.  I was hoping she would get back with Patrick and in the end she hurt both brothers and ended up with no one.  It was kinda a lame ending but I finished this book within 48 hours as well because it just kept getting better & better that I couldn't put it down. 

7,8,9,10,11 -- The Rose Gardner Mystery novels.  I started these about two years ago.  All together there are 9 books.  I quit reading when I got pregnant and the new book wasn't out but then stumbled across that she had released three new ones since her last one.  They are SO good and such thrillers that you cannot put them down.  I also love that there are so many in a serious because you will want to just keep on going.  I cannot wait for her new book to come out because I just love Rose Gardner and her character.  It starts of so different from where the latest book ends.  She completely blossoms from her mothers death and become someone that is worth fighting for.  I highly recommend these books! 

12- Last Years Mistake by Gina Ciocca.  This book was one of my favorites as well.. It drew me in and made me want to keep reading.  I finished this one fairly quickly because chapter after chapter it makes you want to keep going.  I love the character Kesley and how she is as a person.  It is such a perfect love story!

 So there you have it, my recently read favorite books!  If your looking for a good book to read go check out any of these and enjoy yourself! 

Fox Prints ||

I recently stumbled across a Instagram account called "Fox Squares."  I decided to give it a try because I love my instagram photos and I love printing photos.  I created a private account that I post so many pictures on daily because I didn't want to hog up my personal account with Archer, Archer & more Archer.  I only have a couple of close friends that follow me on there but I love all the pictures I post.  I am addicted to chat books but wanted something else to document all these memories for me.  I ordered a lot and I mean a lot of images from Fox Print.  They are 3x3 and the cutest things in the world.  It was tough trying to narrow down just what ones I wanted to print but I finally got down to about 100.  I printed my pregnancy, Archer, more of Archer and just all of our fun adventures as a family.  They also offer magnetic images & stickers which I cannot wait to try!  I love how they turned out, the quality is amazing & they are SO cute.  I just need to think of a cute project to use them with because so far I just pinned some to a bulletin board in my office.  I love them so much that I am going to go and order some more right about now... I suggest you do to because I promise you'll love them just as much as I do! Order yours here!  They have been SO awesome to offer a discount code to all my readers for 2 weeks!  The code is: TSB15
