Cutest mp3 player for toddlers!

We have played music during Mya's naptime and bedtime since the time she was a newborn. For two years, we used my iPod with a speaker. Then for her 2nd birthday, my mom got her a Sweet Pea 3--what a fabulous product!!!

No headphones required....almost indestructable....easy to operate.....kids can't change the volume or mess up anything on it (but mom/dad can very easily).....and it's so cute!!! FIVE STARS from me!

Sunless Tanning Lotion

I have tried many sunless tanning products over the years, but I think I found my all-time favorite!!!! It's by L'Oreal and is called Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion. It said "quick-dry" and "won't rub off", but I have to admit I was skeptical! Wowee...they are right!!!

*It dries VERY quickly...the fastest I've ever tried! (I only wait 5 minutes before getting dressed, and 10 minutes before putting skincare or makeup on my face!)
*It blends so well, leaving no streaks, and it really looks natural!
*It can be used on your face!!
*It is tinted for an instant tan!!!! It's a little shimmery, but it helps the glow!

Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying and use a wet cloth to wipe your lips and eyebrows, if you applied it to your face! I also use a microdermabrasion on my face and sugar scrub on my legs/ankles before applying.

p.s. I also tried the L'Oreal Self-Tanning Gelee. This was a big disappointment. It dried quickly, but left horrible streaks on my legs, feet and ankles. I wasn't brave enough to try it on my face!!!

Summer Haircolor Trends!

On Top of it Tip: Book your appointment NOW with your stylist! Stylists are busy, especially in the summer with weddings and special events (not to mention their own time off for vacation), so book now to secure your appointment.

Many salons will not allow children unless the child is receiving a service, so take that into consideration when scheduling. (Need childcare? Don't forget about all those teens in your neighborhood who are looking for babysitting jobs this summer!)

$Cost Saving Tip: Go for a partial color, where your stylist will foil only the top layers of your hair.
