Tanning

Here is a collection of some of my tanning favorites. I do both, self-tanning and the traditional tanning in the sun. I tan occasionally in the tanning salon so I included some of those tanning lotions as well.

When I tell you this will brown you like a biscuit, I am seriously not playing around! The tan this gives you will stay, I'm not 100% certain but I think its made with coffee, it has that coffee smell to it. Not a bad smell but I could almost guarant...

I have used Australian Gold for many years! I have used the tanning salon lotion, the regular traditional tanning lotion, and also the sunscreen. This stuff has been around for a long time and I highly recommend their products!

I love the rich color you get from this tanning lotion! My favorite one is the Shore Love one for the fact that I use it indoors and outdoors. It has a silkening affect on your skin so you feel baby soft afterwards.

For some reason, from the knee down is hard as heck to tan??? Not sure why so for those reasons, I use the Snooki Legs, its a little extra something to help the tan on your legs keep up with the tan everywhere else that tans easier.

This is usually the one I grab when I know I am going to be outside for long periods of time. You need some protection and you can get this in the 50 SPF as well as the 30.
Hawaiian Tropic

I seriously would just use this stuff for the smell alone! Smells like the tropics because of the coconut oil in it! Oils are oily, ofcourse but this one is worth the greasiness! When I tell you it is a treat for your skin, it is!

We've had the round Intex before and loved it as well. The one we had was around 4 foot deep and had a metal frame. We used it until we downsized to a smaller rectangular one.

We have the rectangular one with the metal frame and love it! Its not a big huge pool but plenty big enough for my husband and I. I believe it is 2 ½ feet deep so not a really deep pool. I mainly use it for tanning and its my favorite spot in the yar...

These pool pumps are affordable and work well. They must be really good pumps because we run ours several hours a day all summer long!

You cannot have a pool without having some floaties to go in it! They make lounging relaxing and tanning a breeze!

I have found that these are cheaper to purchase through Amazon. Also, its a great idea to add these to your auto-ship because you will use lots of them!

Amazon has Intex pool covers for both the round and rectangle pools. You can get either one, whatever shape pool you have. This keeps the bugs and leaves out of the pool and cuts down on cleaning time!

You must have one of these if you have a pool! Handy to keep your chlorine tablets in and catches the occasional debris. Let's face it, you have to keep the pool sanitized! No one wants to swim in pond water! LOL!
