Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Self Tanning Body Butter in French Vanilla looks like chocolate pudding!  Wish it smelled that way!

 I use surgical gloves to protect my manicure.  This product is very moisturizing and sinks in & dries quickly- really no rub-off on my clothes.  Now the scent could have been better but it subsides fast so I can live with it.  I will buy this again as it does give a true looking tan color to the skin and softens at the same time.

Since summer is almost here (already a 90deg day in the South!) time to get out some of the southwest style jewelry - it may need to be 'touched up' !!

I keep the silver jewelry in this tarnish resistant lined armoire. You are so nice - you will pretend not to see the boxes on the floor - it's been a busy week!!

The azaleas are gorgeous but they have to be moved for a new driveway - I don't think they can be saved.  They just seem to make Spring official.

 

With summer & holidays coming up, you need snacks you can keep in the freezer and this is perfect!
Savory Rosemary Mixed Nuts 
                                     Ingredients

• 2 ½ Cups Mixed Nuts (whatever kind you like)
• 2 TBS Butter
• 1 heaping TBS Fresh Rosemary – finely chopped
• 1 TBS Light Brown Sugar
•  2 tsp Cumin
• ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional or use less)
• 2 tsp Sea Salt (I use pink Himalayan)
• ¼ tsp fresh Black Pepper  
• * I also add a couple of tsps of organic seasoning / herbes de provence and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

*Don't be afraid to add spices your family likes ~ oregano, thyme, chili powder

Mix everything together and bake in 325 oven for about 10-12 mins.  Ok, these rarely make it to the freezer around here but it is an excuse to make another batch!

I use sunless tanner all year - it gives nice color and many times SPF protection - something I was not good about as a teenager!  This is what I have been using lately:

This has broad spectrum SPF 20 and is oil free.

L'Oreal is a nice serum that is quick to dry but there is no sunscreen. The label states it is long-lasting but I exfoliate so frequently I could not tell.

Do you have a favorite or trying something new?  Any recommendations?

Estee Lauder has summer palettes ready for a beautiful season!  I got this with my Ulta 20% off - I think this is perfect for all summer and everything you need in a small compact that has a mirror.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess ~ The Summer Look Palette

I love these summery colors - the blush & highlighter are just right for fair skin.  The 6 shadows are silky smooth and not too powdery.  The darker colors are great for the crease or dampen a brush and use as an eye liner. There is a slight Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent in the compact and it is lovely - a reminder not to forget to add fragrance before you go out the door!
I just might need to add a back-up!
