I'm loving the day we had here in Charleston. Here's a picture I took on my phone this afternoon:
Happy Groundhog Day to us!

I'm loving NYX "When Leopard Gets Tan" Bronzer
This bronzer gives me a sunkissed glow, without being too overpowering/orange.
It is very good quality for only $15! Plus, it's adorable.
Purchased at Ulta.

I'm loving Jergen's Natural Glow Healthy Complexion
Daily Facial Moisturizer
It does just that ... gives me a healthy complexion. No more pale face with this bottle of goodness.
I apply this at night, let it dry, then apply a heavier, more moisturizing cream.

I'm loving that I completely deserved the pizza & Dove chocolates I ate for dinner because I spent over two hours at the gym tonight!
I did Zumba first, then Body Pump. I'm completely in love with Body Pump because I would never do that much weight training on my own. The class makes toning up fun! It's tough, but fun.
As for Zumba... I have realized that I have no Latino in me. I suppose I knew that going into it. Seeing this gal attempt the salsa is quite the sight.
...and not a good one.
Brandon has "Man Night" on Wednesdays. He and his buddies eat wings and shoot darts at a sports bar downtown. So my roommate and I ate a spinach/goat cheese pizza and watched American Idol. Chocolates for dessert!

I'm loving the goodies I picked up at Forever 21 today.
Love the coral!

I'm loving that you can take 40% off of one item every Wednesday at Gap this month. I bought some denim trousers that have a wide flare leg. Rachel Zoe moment.

I'm loving that I got the photos from my photo shoot in my email this morning.
It was a quick little gig, literally a 5 minute shoot.
The photographer just needed one shot for a project.
This (above) is the shot he needed. Since that only took about a minute or two, I asked him to take a few more photos just for fun. Here are a couple that he took.
This one needs to be retouched desperately. This was taken on the day that I didn't feel well. (Remember when Brandon and I stayed in with a Redbox movie last Friday night?) I can see that I didn't feel well through the photo, but I still like it because it's different & raw.

It was the windiest day I can remember. But the lighting was just perfect for the shot he needed!
xox.
Hope you all had a wonderful Hump Day! The weekend is in sight!

ReplyDeleteI have that bronzer and I love it!! The pics look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHey Meg!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and am really enjoying it!
Quick question- I read that you no longer use tanning beds. How do you keep your skin looking so tanned in the winter. In your pics it definitely looks natural, not out of a bottle.
What's the secret?
Thank you for the sweet comments, everyone!
ReplyDeleteDaily Garb- I did swear off tanning beds & completely recommend it! (This is coming from a girl that used to get in the tanning bed 3/4 of the year!) My skin looks and feels so much better now.
Naturally, I always have a little color to my skin (Thanks to my always tan Dad). But to give my skin an extra boost of color during the winter months, I use Jergens Healthy Complexion facial tanner. On my body, I use Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanner in Medium. Sometimes, I just mix it in with my lotion. At night, I'll use Jergen's Natural Glow lotion for the body. I don't use it during the day because it stinks! That way, it soaks in at night and I can wash off the smell in my morning shower!
I've never been spray tanned professionally, but plan to next month. I'll be sure to blog about it!
I would also try the bronzer I listed in this post. It's amazing!
Hope this helps!
I am so jealous you are getting to enjoy the new Forever 21 in Charleston! I can't wait to get back to visit! I'm passing along this Stylish Blogger Award to you and hope you play along!
