Okay, so I totally pulled a Kim Kardashian today. This all started because I saw a posting on Facebook on Saturday (by my hair salon) for a discount on a spray tan. Usually $65, this was a special deal for just $45 -- so I was intrigued. I saw the line "Get glowy for those holiday parties people!!" and I was like "hell yeah!" So, I called and asked, if I get this done on Saturday -- will it last until Christmas? Long story short they said no blah blah blah but the spray tan girl would come to my place on Monday. What? Really? For the same price? Yes. Um. This is hilarious.I do enjoy a real tan (a la sunshine) -- but I don't do fake-n-bakes. I can't handle the smell of burnt skin. And the only time I got a Mystic Tan I ended up looking orange and splotchy and it rubbed off the next day. So, I was apprehensive but I knew if anything, this would be a good story. Who in the world has a spray tan at home before taking off for the airport?!
So, Ashley from Spray Tans LA shows up on my doorstep right on time with her mobile unit. I was impressed by the set-up, originally thinking we would be spraying down in my shower (of which was just cleaned and Steve would be pissed). She set up in 2 minutes and voila! -- a "Sunset Tan"-like set up in my apartment.
Her pop up tent (in my living room -- take note of the vacuum which was not used prior to departing for the airport).
The weapon.
The power unit.
The scary/magical juice to be sprayed.
My luggage waiting to depart for the airport -- oh wait, once my tan is done. HA!
The Before and After -- but hoping I look less creepy soon (and yes, I did tell my hair stylist to go shorter on the bangs b/c they grown so damn fast. And now, highly regretting that)
A tan line right away! It was crazy. A quick zap zap zap spray -- totally didn't smell -- and done! No stickiness, nothin'. Ashley said once I was at the airport I'd gradually look like I got some sun. So, there might be an update on this one in a few hours if the Oompa-Loompa shows up.Can't wait for my mom to be like ... WTH, Stephanie?!
Oh. my. god.
ReplyDeleteI leave for three days and a mobile tanning station is erected in our living room?!?
Awesome
ReplyDeleteNow all you have to do is use a tan extender like Body Armor (by EnvyTan) to keep your spray tan looking beautiful. A tan extender will help your tan last longer and fade evenly. Your tan looks great.
