Weekend Shine 6.28.13

Hi everyone! I finally got back into my normal routine after coming back from Florida this past weekend. This week back was rough, especially since I had a final due on Wednesday. However, the weekend is finally here again and I am so excited because Saturday is my birthday!!! I will 21 on Saturday which is one of the big milestones that everyone comes across during their life. I will be having a get together at my parents home in the Valley and since I love to plan and theme my parties, this years theme is.... Morocco! To get some inspiration from Morocco here are some images I found on Pinterest this week!

                                 

You all will get to see my party photos next week on the blog and my photos from my Walt Disney World Vacation last weekend! Have a good one everyone:)

Screen shots of recipes I found. If you wanna try them just click on the image.

Hola amigos/amigas! The weekend is here once again and for this weeks "Weekend Shine" I will be cooking and packing all week. Yes packing! I am moving once again for the third time closer, in fact, to my wonderful university. Packing is so time consuming and cultured. My OCD definitely kicks in. However, it must be done because I move next Wednesday. I'm kind of on a time crunch but I'm sure it will get done. The only exciting part of my weekend is I will be trying out some new recipes with veggies that I haven't used, eggplant and artichoke. When in doubt of cooking I always resort to my main woman Martha Stewart. She always knows how to handle things. I will be cooking stuffed Eggplant and probably just steamed artichoke cause I don't want to get to crazy with it. If any of you are feeling adventurous maybe you should try these recipes! Have a great weekend :)

Summer Time: Tanning

Good morning everyone! Summer is well on its way with the first week of June almost to an end. With the beginning of summer comes beach wear, sun, and tanning! By this time of the year I am already a nice golden brown (in my earlier years way darker) however, I looked at myself in the mirror yesterday and gasped! I was not tan at all, I was very light, lighter than I normally am. So, I made plans to go tanning the next day out by the pool but, I forgot I had class and work. I realized I didn't have time to tan until the weekend. So instead of moping around I was proactive and went out to get one of those self tanners that gradually makes your skin darker. I went for Jergen's Natural Glow, I heard some good reviews from friends plus, it moisturizes which is what our skin needs on these hot summer days. So far I've noticed the difference from a week ago. For the weekend though I have my Hawaiian Tropics tanning lotion which works perfectly, I swear you can get tan by laying out for 10 min. 

When looking for tanning items make sure you always get something that moisturizes, is easy to use, and protects! You can always add a sun screen so you are still protecting your skin while you tan. If your willing to splurge on a self tanner I suggest ST. Tropez. I've researched about it and it looks promising. I'm actually going to go get one myself to help my tan along since I don't have much time on my hands to sit out and tan. Always be protect your skin when tanning, sunscreen is your lifesaver in keeping your skin looking good and healthy.
