Nordstrom Rack is having a massive Memorial Day sale online. Activewear is all over 65% off! You can click here for my last post on all the Memorial Day sales I found!
I’ll admit, I may I over do it sometimes with the self tanner. I can’t for the life of me get a natural tan. If I’m lucky, I get the slightest of shade darker..A tanning bed is not even a question for me, I’d be a lobster.
Self tanners are a great alternative to get a deep tan in a non-harmful way. Even if I could tan naturally or in a tanning bed, I’d choose the self tanner! It’s just better for your skin and you can live worry free.
I’ve tried a lot of self tanners over the years and I’ve pretty much got it down pat! I use both drug store self tanners and high end ones. Some of the drug store self tanners work just as well, but they have unhealthy chemicals in them.
Below I’m sharing my self tanning routine and a how-to for newbies. I’m also sharing my favorite self tanners. Again, I’ve tried a lot, but there are so many other brands I want to still try.
I know just how much we’re all missing getting our gel nail manicures. LUCKILY, there is something you CAN do in the meantime!
Everyone that knows me, knows I really love saving my money. Back in high school, I bought a UV light and a bunch of polishes so that I could save a little and do my gel nails at home. Given todays circumstances, I’m sure a bunch of you would consider the UV light and gel nail polishes while we’re all at home.
I’m going to share step by step what I do for my gel nails from home. It’s super easy and I’d say they last me 2 full weeks, way longer then typical nail polish.
I got my UV light from Amazon, but since its been years since I bought mine it’s no longer in stock. I go off of reviews as if my life depends on it, anyone else? I know the other lights work just as well because I convinced my best friend, Livi, to get the light and she’s loving it too.
Here are some lights you can purchase for gel nails (all of them have high ratings)

These little nail filers are amazing because if you go over your nail and onto your finger, you can file some of the access off in the corners. If you don’t have a buffer you’ll need to use something tough to buff/scratch your nail up a bit (since you don’t have that buffing tool the salons use).Now for polish you need the base coat, the top coat and of course, the main gel nail color polish. Here are the best base and top coat:
And now, onto the gel nail polish colors. The gel nail polish colors are sold in sets on Amazon.
I love beige and white together. It’s one of my favorite color combinations for outfits. I paired the white and blue denim jeans with my snake skin sandals because the shoes have colors of beige, white and brown in them. It matches both jeans perfectly. I linked below a similar pair of shoes because the ones I’m wearing are from a boutique in New Jersey.
You can shop both looks here:
- Blue denim jeans -
This top looks really great with blue denim jeans too. These are my go-to and favorite jeans from Abercrombie. They’re on sale for $49.50! This is a steal for blue denim boyfriend jeans, most of the sizes are still in stock too.
My Apple Watch band is dressier than the typical rubber band. I am wearing a gold band and it’s under $10! It hasn’t worn or tarnished either.
