Plan ahead for an affordable and sassy little holiday outfit

         Adults like to have a little special gift giving each year during the holidays. Put the kids to bed or send them off to Grandma's house, put on the perfect holiday music and deck yourself out for your man.  How much did or would you spend on a sassy little outfit for the guy in your life?  An outfit like this one to the left will set you back  $60 or more, and that doesn't even include the hat!  

      Think about this - next year when the department stores start the clearance of swimwear, go grab yourself a cute little basic suit, in red or white or even in blue if you celebrate Hanukkah, add your own little bows, bells and ribbons, to create your very own custom creation for a fraction of the price.  And you will have a swim suit that you can wear all winter in the hot tub or the following summer.  If you want to really go all out, pick up a pair of sassy super high heels to finish the package. 

      These heels from Triangles, in Scottsdale, Arizona would be perfect and again, not just for a one time wearing.  Great investment.

Winter Tanning

     We are in December and even tho the warm weather is pretty much gone for most of us that doesn't mean that we have to look as pale as the fallen snow. After all - it is hot tub season even here in Arizona where you never have a season that doesn't involve wearing a swim suit.
      Here's a little info on how to maintain that bronze glow all winter long.  It safe, easy and reasonably priced.  My friend, make up guru and the founder of Makeup University, Cherelynn, shares this with us today. 

  . . . .  I recently tried the Australian Gold spf 15 Sheer Coverage and it's so light and fast absorbing on the skin with a soft coconut scent.

It dries matte on the skin so you don't have to worry about being shiny and sticky from your sunscreen.

And if you want to have a brown/bronze tone to your skin-please forego the tanning bed or laying out in the sun and opt for a self tanner instead. I tested the Australian Gold instant bronze self tanning lotion with 'elimiscent technology' which helps minimize the tell tale self tanner smell.  . . . . . read the entire article.
