Excuse the fan- I have to have hurricane-force wind on me at night or can't breathe!

@highwire: St Tropez Bronzing Spray Tan! $29@ Sephora! I stand in our garage (sliding door shut of course!) and spray myself down 2x a week:) It's the BEST!!!
GOLD / eggplant / 11517 posts
@jholler25: Wow, I never would have guessed that came out of a bottle!
GOLD / eggplant / 11517 posts
@jholler25: Haha I pulled it up online and saw the same thing. Seems like money well spent either way!!

@highwire: i can't lay out on my belly anymore:( So we have to spray now:)
GOLD / eggplant / 11517 posts
@jholler25: Okay, I totally just ordered the bronzer spray.
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
@highwire: it's awesome bc you don't have to rub it in...Like at all! It doesn't matter if you spray more on an area, somehow it's magically even. It says on the bottle just to make sure you don't miss spots, but not to worry if it's not even. It only matters that you spray everywhere! I just spray and dry and go. I never touch it with my hands bc I am lazy & then I'd have to scrub them:)
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@JHoller25: You are able to spray yourself? That sounds awesome! Do you do it in any particular order (like neck/back, legs, and then torso (to avoid bending)? Or do you just spray kinda willy nilly?
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
@MsLipGloss: kinda willy nilly- but thinking about it, I guess I do legs first so I'm not bending over and getting a big sprayed tummy involved. It's really easy to "get" everywhere, the can sprays very easily. I used to be way more anal about getting it even, but then I figured out that I dont need to be, it's going to be even as long as I dont miss any major spots:) It's the perfect lazy/pregnant self-tan:). They have a really good gradual tan lotion too that I was using, but once I figured out the spray requires an effort of like a 2 on a scale of 1-10, I quit bothering with the lotion bc I had to rub that in:). The spray doesnt last as long as the lotion, but it's WAY easier and totally foolproof.
I did have one scary episode where I was kind of sweaty from being outside, and I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I kind of freaked out and thought I was spotting bc I saw light brown on the tp. But then I realized that it was self tanner that had gotten "up in there" somewhere from the spray and I guess me sweating made it come off on the tp. So just know that you may get some in places you didnt mean to get some:)
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
Oh just to add- I meant you dont get as many uses out of the spray bottle vs the lotion. The spray tan lasts pretty well:)
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@JHoller25: A 2 on a scale of 1-10 is EPIC! Thanks! ((hugs)) And I totally lol'd about the tp . . .

I love all of the bump pictures! Y'all are adorable.

@mrsjyw: such a cute tiny bump!
@jholler25: sorry to be a ninny but make sure you check the chemicals in the spray tan booths. it might not be something you want in your baby. hair dye you can kind of keep off your scalp and from your roots but anything you put on your skin you will want it to be paraban free and natural. this includes sunscreens. these chemicals are endocrine disrupters and can lead to future fertility problems, especially in little girls. they are banned in europe but not in the US. Similar to BPAs, which have been banned from baby items but still line our canned food and other products, they are no good. sorry to be the annoying person who says this but i personally was shocked when i read about this stuff and it made me feel like i was being poisoned against my will. Anything with paraban or it sometimes hide as "fragrance" in ingrediant lists. Buy Euro made sunscreens and tanners and things and check those labels too. If it says natural frangrance it should be fine. here is more info. http://blog.betterlifemaids.com/2012/04/spotting-toxins-in-everyday-beauty-products/
@highwire: you should read this too!

@MrsMccarthy: I looked it up and it doesn’t contain any parabens, sulfates, phthlates, GMOs or triclosan:)
honeydew / 7295 posts
@jholler25: That's wonderful news! now we can all use it if we want to.
coconut / 8475 posts
@jholler25: Nice...I want. How many uses does a bottle give usually? I doubt i'll have time to treat myself to a tanning bed every other day once baby is here....maybe...but I'd rather spray it on all winter over my *hopefully* sexy body after baby which will resemble my body pre-baby<<<Can you tell i'm already planning my sexy-back? It's my current obsessive thought.
