Spray Tan Review

May 12th, 2008 @ 5:44 pm by Mrs. Sundae

I had my airbrush tan appointment last Wednesday, and I was waiting to give a review until after my cousin’s wedding (which was wonderful) to let you know exactly how it went. I was skeptical at first, but in the end I think it was worth it!

It’s definitely not something for the overly modest, although you can decide how much you want to expose. The spa I went to provided paper undergarments which in and of themselves were quite entertaining. I stood in a shower stall and was sprayed down…the worst part for me was holding my arms out and away from my body for so long. My arms were killing me! The actual spraying took about 15 minutes but then you have to stand around and let yourself dry properly before you can get dressed. Aside from my arms and the fact that the spray itself was cold, it was pretty painless.

NOT My Smartest Move…

May 5th, 2008 @ 11:15 am by Mrs. Hydrangea

Sunday was my FFIL’s birthday, so Mr. H and I spent the day at his parents’ house. While Mr. H worked on his car, FFIL H and my FBILs worked on a playground for Mr. H’s nieces. I took over and played with Heidi, Mr. H’s oldest niece (who is two), outside all day so that her mom could get some things done around the house.We rode around on the wagon, rode around on her bike, chased each other in the yard and had a really fun time, just the two of us. While I wore a long sleeved light jacket so I wouldn’t get tan lines for my bridal portraits, I completely ignored my face. Not a good thing.

I now look somewhat like this:

Crush On You (Yes, You!)

March 28th, 2008 @ 12:05 pm by Mrs. Jasmine

Scrub, scrub, scrub. Who knew that scrubbing one’s skin practically raw could feel so good? Recently I waxed poetic about Laura Mercier’s divine Creme Brulee scrub, but lamented the painful cost. Well today’s your lucky day– I found a cheaper, and dare I say better, alternative!

I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.

Facial Treatment

March 10th, 2008 @ 4:05 pm by Mrs. Milkshake

I’ve been on almost every form of acne treatment out there… commercially available, extemporaneously compounded and otherwise… everything short of Accutane and anything acquired through an infomercial. I’ve battled it since I was at least 11 years old, and by the time I was 18 or so and halfway through pharmacy school, I decided to call it quits with the creams and pills because nothing had ever actually taken it away entirely or even come close. And I figured if I kept going from age 11 to age 35 or whenever it decided to naturally subside, I’d be well on my way to skin cancers and severe hormone deficiency and hot flashes at age 50.

Mmm… Creme Brulee

March 7th, 2008 @ 1:16 pm by Mrs. Jasmine

On a completely spontaneous trip to Saks last week (I had a doctor’s appointment and it was on the way and I had a few minutes to kill– you know how that goes!), I decided to pick up a few beauty items and take advantage of their Beauty Event Giveaway. After buying some wedding essentials (isn’t good mascara essential?), I was treated to a lovely terrycloth traincase filled with samples and a Laura Mercier giftbag.One of the samples was Laura Mercier’s Creme Brulee Sugar Scrub.

Product Review: Facewash

February 14th, 2008 @ 4:31 pm by Ms. Dahlia

When the new year started, I thought that I would begin to take better care of my skin. I mean, I’ve been pretty rough on it (salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, I’m looking at you) and it wasn’t helping my acne much at all.

(Yes, I get acne. Yes, I’ve had acne since I was about 13. Yes, I recognize that this means I’ve had it about half my life.)

But for the first time, I’m actually winning the war against the acne on my face. Because unlike the Clearasil and Clean and Clear days of my youth when my face extremely oily, I’d noticed that my face, especially my cheeks, are dry.

(Honestly, as a teenage, I never thought that day would come.)

So, I decided to try this:

Let The Pampering Begin

September 4th, 2007 @ 10:29 am by Mrs. Corn

Last weekend when my mom was here I had a final make-up trial with Mary Dee Housely, my makeup artist. The main reason for going to visit her was to have a facial, an indulgence I have never experienced before. But I had also mentioned that I was hoping to make my eyes look bigger, so she suggested that she would do the eye makeup again for no charge since I wasn’t satisfied the first time (just one of the many, many reasons why I truly love working with Mary).
