11 Salon Secrets Your Waxer Doesn't Want You to Know

Get the behind-the-scene secrets for everything you need to know about getting waxed

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair removal article Ever wonder what's going through your waxer's mind while you're spread eagle on their table? You could ask, but that whole hot-wax-in-your-private-area thing can be a little preoccupying, which is why we tracked down waxing pros and asked them the awkward questions for you. You're welcome. Hear secrets

Hello Gorgeous and Happy Monday! Today I'm feautring a few Father's Day gift ideas because it is just 2 weeks away!
If you need to mail your gift to Dad to remember him, consider these options which are easy to pick up, pack and put in the mail!
First: Tim McGraw Fragrances in the McGraw scent is a woody-spicy, fresh and masculine scent. Sort of the 'man's man' fragrance for your classic Dad. As a fragrance junkie I think you can't go wrong with giving cologne as a gift. And if your Dad is not one to spritz on the scent, the consider the aftershave, deoderant or lotion as a subtle scent gift. I see McGraw as being a scent for a hard working man! Purchase at major retailers such as Walmart, Target, Sears, Walgreen's, Rite Aid and CVS.

Next up for gift giving in the fragrance area is the Pure Nautica Discovery-this is a scent for the adventurous, risk taker, avant garde type of Dad.
It's a crisp and energizing smell and could be the encouragement to your Dad in his next escapade.
Click here to learn more or buy at your local Macys.



For the business and entreprenuer Dad consider giving him skincare to keep him looking ready for business such as Verdon by L'Occitane. This simple 3 step skin care of Pure Face Wash, Outdoor Moisturizer spf 30 and Instant Energy Eye Gel will ensure confidence in your Dad that he looks his best. The scent on these products is light and invigorating. You can purchase online, or at L'Occitane stores.

Goodluck in getting your Father's Day gifts ready and mailed or wrapped in time to celebrate! Or, for the really festive...go ahead and make your tattoo appointments!

Nature's Gate sunless tanner

Anti-Aging Tips for Your Body

Get advice from the pros who know on how to keep those wrinkles at bay

This is a TotalBeauty.com body article This total body guide to anti-aging will teach you how to keep things firm and fabulous. Read guide

Okay, wait til you see the before and afte pics on this product! I love that it doesn't smell chemically like other brands, and it does give a nice brown hue to the skin instead of a orangey one.
I encourage you to familiarize yourself with a self tanner, find a brand you like and maybe even try this one. Do you know why? Because skin cancer is on the rise in young twentysomethings and it's not from over exposure at the beach or in my town at the Salt River tubing party; it's from the proliferation of indoor tanning beds.
Here is a patch of bare skin ready to be "self tanned".

So do yourself and your skin a favor, try some Nature's Gate ( get it at Sprouts!) sunless tanner.

This is a second coat of the Nature's Gate sunless tanner being applied to a patch of pale and bare skin.

Here's a quickie how to apply sunless tanner and not look funky:
1. Exfoliate the area, or your whole body! I recommend using the scrubby gloves that are like a dollar at Walmart. Apply a scrub to the scrubby gloves, this can be something lovely like Quick Tan sunless tanning prep scrub or the St. Ives apricot scrub which I find to be too harsh for my face but great for my knees, elbows and heels.

2. Apply a paraben free lotion to the bendy parts of you: meaning toe knuckles, elbows, knees, ankles so that the lotion fills in the wee skin folds.

3. Apply and rub in the self tanner and stand in a big X until it's dry. This could be a minute, could be five. The point is, the more you move while the product still feels tacky to your touch the more chance you have of streaking.

Buy a spray kind for your back or have some help. :) Enjoy it friends!
p.s. Thank you so much to all the kind comments about your Dads for the Tim McGraw fragrance set giveaway. I know 5 people are going to be smellin' real good real soon!

Here's two coats and one hour of applying and letting dry then reapplying the sunless tanner from Nature's Gate:

Ah, now we have it. After one hour, and two applications I have a wee patch of tanned skin in the shape of a heart somewhere on my body.

Remember your skin when it comes to the sun!
