Tanning Beds = Horrible

So as I've stated in a previous post, I haven't been in a tanning bed in quite some time. I used to work at a tanning salon and loved to tan was obsessed with tanning every. single. day. I. could. I was darker than any of the other girls I worked with and I loved it. It wasn't until I stopped working at the tanning salon did I realize how horribly bad it was for your skin. I can honestly say that I have a few fine lines which I believe came from tanning so much. Recently I've seen this lady on the news (I'm sure we've all seen her by now) and this is a prime example as to why I stay away from tanning beds now and am a believer of self-tanning. When you tan in a bed or in the sun it prematurely ages you. You may think that you look good now, but trust me, the more you tan the faster wrinkles will appear and the more your skin looks like leather. Also, you are a hundred times (well, I don't know if it's really a hundred but...) more likely to get skin cancer. You can essentially DIE from tanning people! It's not safe. My recommendation for everyone is to try safely tanning by using a self-tanner or going to get a spray tan. This way you can look good and not have to worry about wrinkles or skin cancer. Here are a few pictures I found for encouragement. :)

Cute. real cute.

My thoughts exactly...

You know I couldn't talk about this without having Snooki in at least one of the pictures

I wanted to go for an edgier look and a more sweet, feminine look. Hope you like it! Let me know what you think and good luck to everyone taking finals this week! I know it's stressful but it's almost over. :)

Pop of Neon

I am currently LOVING the neon trend right now. I figured I would show you how to easily add pops of color into your wardrobe. Incorporating bright colors instantly adds pizzazz into any outfit. Wearing neons also "brightens" your mood. :) You can easily try the neon trend by wearing different accessories, makeup, nail polish, shoes, or clothes. It's best to pair neons with more neutral pieces to balance out the brightness of your statement piece. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Tomorrow I have to substitute for a teacher's aide. I always love those jobs- it's so much easier than actually subbing for a teacher. It should be a fairly easy day *fingers crossed* The rest of the week I need to finish a few assignments and work on review sheets for finals next week. :/ waaa waaa waaaaaaaaa

Look Book: Chill and Relaxed

 I'm not feeling too well today... I'm pretty sure I got a cold from the children I read to in Pre-K at the Elementary School the other day. That usually happens when I'm not around kids for any length of time. Anyways, it was a beautiful day outside- it wasn't terribly hot and it was a little windy. I love to feel the wind in my hair. I felt like wearing a pretty chill outfit- nothing fancy, just relaxing.
