If You Don't Know, Now You Know!

Random FOTD.

This was taken about three months ago when I had a spray tan.

Gucci Italian Tan

Tonight I'm going on a first date that 'isn't a date' with a guy that we will call "Italia".

Richard Gere and I are moving along swimmingly but I think that for the first time in my life, I'm not going to put all of my eggs in one basket.

Talking of eggs, I am sitting here eating Cadbury Strawberry filled mini chocolate eggs. YUM.
I can't believe the Easter supplies are already for sale in stores. I think it's kinda disgusting if you ask me. Isn't Easter still two months away?

Anyway, Italia is a guy that I know from when I was 13 - 16 years old. He is 7 years older than me. I know him because when I was in high school I would hang out with an older crowd and he was one of the guys in my group of friends. It's been 7 years since he and I have seen each other and we caught up on Facebook of all places.

I was meant to get my micro bead extensions done today but I know that I'm going to have to dye them to get my tone of pearl blonde. So that means that I would have to sit at the salon for 4 hours while they get applied, then dye my hair, then wash it, then dry it and then style it. I'm seeing Italia in five hours and there is no way I have time to do all of that and I honestly can't be bothered with the whole process.

For once I picked my outfit in advance but because I have scrubbed off my fake tan I'm not sure it the dress will look as good. I'll be sure to take a photo of it either way. If I wear that dress then I'm also wearing a vintage silver G-link Gucci belt and some stilettos tonight.

I think it's time to break out the Jemma Cosmetics Cookies And Cream Tanning Mousse. If you have no idea what I'm talking about - watch this.

First Outting In A New Spray Tan

This was an hour after my tan had dried.

I went out with Tuesday on a Thursday.

Drying In A Spray Tan

This was taken on the first day of my spray tan. Just after it was applied in my back yard. Aaliya has a portable machine and spray tent so she was nice enough to bring them along when she stayed the night at my house.

This was about two weeks ago.

This photo is the only way I can show you the difference between my tan lines.
I'm sorry if some of you find it inappropriate.

- Ok so the SUPER WHITE part of my waist line is where I had no tan at all.

- The medium tan colour shows where my bikini bottoms sat (and left me untanned on my bum) and tanned on my hips/thighs.

The brand of tan I used was Glamour Tan in the shade Sarsaparilla. I cant spray it too heavily because it turns orange on my skin after a few days if I have too many coats. I learned that the hard way the first time I got it done.

I recommend this spray tan to anyone who is naturally a light/medium olive and just wants to add some depth to their natural skin tone.

Christmas Shopping

Recently I've been shopping all day and then exercising all night. 

When I'm not shopping or exercising, I'm talking on the phone to my dream guy. 

I know I've neglected you (and my vlog) so I hope this post makes up for my absence.

I was in Coles the other day and I seen a range of Edward Beale hairdressing hairdye's so I decided to try one. I've been really unhappy with the colour of my blonde lately so I bought the shade 'Platinum Blonde'. 

One pack was only enough to barely cover all of my regrowth and give me some highlights on my top layer.

This was the colour the next day (Thursday). 

Since then I have re-bleached all of my hair so it's completely different again.

I'm wearing a new harem style jumpsuit from Ice

A new skull and chain bag from Sportsgirl

A new pair of sandals in a metallic platinum colour

A new pair of daisy earrings from Forever New

And my mum is wearing her new pair of shoes

On our trip to Myer I bought four Chi Chi bronzers and a Sugar Baby tanning lotion that was on sale.

I love Sugar Baby products so when I seen this tanning lotion for only $5, I had to get it.

All of the Chi Chi bronzers were protected in this (after you took them out of the box)

It's very Chanel-ish of them.

All of the other things I bought I can't show you because they're presents for my mum and brother. How is your Christmas shopping going?

Who Else Suffers From The SnowGoose Syndrome?

Every time I put on my foundation, despite how natural it looks on my face, you lower your eyes even a centimeter and there it is, IN YOUR FACE, SnowGoose syndrome.

SnowGoose Syndrome; When a person has an unusually white neck.

Well that's what my mum and I call it.

GRRRR.

Why can't I have the same neck as everyone else??
I feel like I need to go to the solarium just to tan my neck! If I wear lighter foundation to match my neck I'd have to go so pale that Morticia Addams would look like she had a tan if she stood next to me.

It's only been the last two years that I've noticed it and as soon as it happened I looked high and low for a 'cure'.
I've tried it all: Putting foundation all the way down my neck, putting a tinted moisturizer on my neck after I do my foundation, applying fake tan on my neck (worst idea in the world), going to solarium and I even thought that exfoliating regularly might help my skin tone to even out but none of them had a successful ending. I've used creams that are meant to even your skin tone, creams that mend scars, creams that this, creams that that, but nothing has worked. I think I'm destined to suffer from SnowGoose Syndrome for life.

You will think I'm over-exaggerating because when you look back over my photos it isn't a predominant 'flaw' but it's just one of those things that get to me. I feel like everyone is staring at my big white neck and like they are thinking I don't know how to match my foundation to my skin tone.

Does anyone else have something that niggles at them? If so, please let me know what is it. Maybe it'll make me less paranoid about my neck.
