airbrush tanning

Yesterday at the pool, I ran into a friend (more like a sister of a friend, but same diff). She does airbrush tanning at home. I've done the spray-on tan at the salon, but never airbrush-- where someone applies it personally to every inch of your body. Considering the big audition I have tomorrow, I decided to head over to her house and get it done. Without freaking out too much, let me say that I am A HUGE fan. For more information, go HERE. It's a new company that does air brush tanning parties! What fun!! My fingers and toes look awesome. I would never, ever be able to get a tan like this, no matter how long I spent out in the sun. And this tan comes with zero added wrinkles. I'm sold.

This was taken after a long, hot, terrible run this morning. Our half marathon is less than a month away and training absolutely sucks. No really-- I hate it. This is the WORST possible time of year to be running outside in Las Vegas. If you want to know what it feels like, try getting your heart rate up in a coal-burning, dry heat sauna. I have the option of running on a treadmill inside, but I can't help but look down and my mileage every 4 seconds, which makes 4 miles seem like an eternity. I honestly don't think I am going to be prepared for 13 miles. But I will not drop out. I can do this, even if it kills me.

And because the pictures above don't give an accurate account of how I look in real life (what can I say, the camera loves me?) Let me post a shot of my whole body. This is me in all my squishy glory. I am still hanging on to my baby weight. I think I've lost 10 pounds since Simon was birthed 7 months ago... I've got at least 20 to go. Super frustrating. My closet doesn't give me a lot of options even when I am skinny-- so to still be two sizes bigger really limits my already limited wardrobe. And the last thing I want to do is go and buy clothes. Anyway, I know it will come off eventually. It has always taken me longer and I don't know why I expect this time to be different. Everyone has their own kind of trials. I think I would pick being squishy over hardships that others are dealing with right now..

PS. I want to host an airbrush tanning party soon. I was thinking early August in SALT LAKE CITY and either July or September in LAS VEGAS. Are you interested in coming? If so, let me know!
