Summer Glow

We ended up trying out the pool last night and the water felt really nice. We were there for about 2 hours.

On a different subject, yesterday I ran out of lotion. Now, I like lotion after my shower and I really don't like dry skin. I also don't like running out to the store to just buy one thing, so I rummaged through the cosmetic cabinet to see what could substitute for my desperate need of moisture. I found two things: a bottle of glitter lotion I received from a white elephant gift from Christmas, and a bottle of bronzing daily lotion by Jergens that came as a sample with my regular lotion. I didn't really want to spend the rest of the day shimmering with glitter skin like when I was 13 and thought it was cool, so out of last resort I decided to go with the bronzing lotion.

The bottle said it wasn't a self-tanning cream but a "daily moisturizing lotion that adds a summer glow to your skin". Well, why not try it since I really need moisturized and I wouldn't mind a summer glow. So I tried it. Ahhh....no more dry skin. And believe it or not, a few hours later when I was getting ready to leave for the pool, I looked in the mirror and my face and arms really did have a hint of summer. Not dark or really tan, just glowish, like I had been outside in the sun for an hour or something. I tried it again this morning (since I never made it to the store for real lotion) and again with the glow.

Boy, am I glad I picked the bronzing bottle instead of the glitter bottle:)

On a different note, we've been house sitting for my parents this week. We'll be staying over at their place a couple nights over the next few days to entertain their cats and take care of the lawn. They get back next week. We're headed to the pool again later this afternoon after my husband gets home from work. I have a feeling we will be there a lot this weekend seeing as it was so nice last night when we went.

Have a good Friday!
