Get your glow on

July 6, 2010

As I waited for my mani at the spa last week, I was fascinated and disheartened by the steady stream of customers coming in to use the tanning beds and found myself wishing the tanning tax was something they’d enforce here. The 10 percent tax likely wouldn’t be much of a deterrent, though — each of the perfectly bronzed and weathered looking clients (think Jersey Shore) don’t look like anything will keep them from getting their tan on.

Not that I’m not a fan of the sun-kissed look in moderation — I just prefer, you know, my health, and choose to get golden out of a tube or a bottle. This week, I’m trying out Mary Kay’s Cooling Bronzing Stick — anything to help cool off during this insane heat wave! If it works as well as the Cheek Glaze, it’ll soon be a summer beauty staple, too. I know, Mary Kary, whodathunkit?
