spacer I was jumping up and down after hearing this news!  New South Wales, Australia is the first country to BAN UV TANNING by 2014.  This is incredible news and I hope other countries, (nudge-nudge US) start to follow suit.   Many government officials in NWS wish the ban could be immediate but the have to give the UV tanning industry time to diversify. This is a really, really strong message to the UV tanning market and one that I sincerely stand behind.

FACT: You have a 75% increased chance of getting Melanoma if you use a tanning bed before the age of 21 and your chance for other skin cancers increases exponentially.

What do you think of NSW’s ban?  Do you think the US government will ever ban UV tanning beds here in the US?

spacer Oh my heart just broke for Christina Aguilera and her self-tanner mishap the other day!  While singing at Etta James’ funeral a “mysterious reddish brown color” started running down her leg.  I just cringe because I have been there and it sucks!! ( See my previous blog post of my horrific experience that occurred years ago HERE titled Unwelcome Tie Dye)

Well… what exactly caused this to happen to poor Christina?  The short answer is she must have used a self-tanner with a guide color (which I personally recommend and suggest people use to prevent streaking and not being able to see where you are putting the product) but she obviously did not rinse off the guide color before performing and she started to sweat!  The sweat caused the guide color / makeup to run and create this unpleasant effect. For this reason alone I suggest self-tanning the night before any big event and then rinsing off the guide color in the shower the next morning.  That way you can sweat to your hearts content and you don’t have to worry about embarrassing instances like this!  Don’t be harsh on Christina or make fun of her, it can happen to the best of us!  I am just happy to see that she is using a self-tanner vs. a UV tanning bed! Maybe she should come by COUTURE GLOW before her next performance! ; )

I have finally moved into an adorable apartment right across the street from the beach downtown St. Petersburg! I now wake up to sunshine and birds instead of fog and ambulance sirens! It’s been a fabulous change so far. I am getting around town pretty easily and everyone here is so nice! I swear there is something to be said about Southern hospitality!! So now I walk to the gym in the morning wearing SPF 70 on my face and Beautisol self-tanner on my legs since I am actually showing them in the middle of winter!

New adventures for STQ and me in 2012…

Hi everyone!  I clearly have not posted in quite a while!  So much has been going on that I am going to finally fill you in on…

First, BEAUTISOL my self-tanning company, is doing another season on HSN (The Home Shopping Network) this year – YAY!  Our first air date is scheduled for February 29th at the following times: 6am, 2pm, 5pm and 11pm EST so keep a look out for more announcements as we get closer to the date.  I also decided to move to St. Petersburg, FL to be closer to the network and learn all the in’s and out’s about TV shopping and how I can grow and develop! I am so excited!  I managed to find a cute little place right across the street from the beach, which means I get to wake up to the sound of the ocean everyday – not too shabby!  I will say that I am STILL waiting to hear back from the HOA (Home Owners Association) on whether we are approved or not – I swear I am waiting for them to ask me for a blood sample!

Second, as many of you know I am getting married in September of this year and have lots to do to get ready for that event!  So be forewarned, I’ll be posting about my ventures in wedding planning, too – a la SelfTanningQueen style! ; )  I have no idea who’s going to do my make up, hair or what I am wearing so looking forward to getting lots of advice from you, my readers!

So for now, I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year and here’s to lots of new adventures ahead!!

Happy Glowing,

Sinead

Drinking Wine May Prevent Sunburn

I’ll take a glass of Cabernet!

A recent article in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reveals that drinking red wine might actually help prevent sunburns. Through a study conducted in vitro in a laboratory by the University of Barcelona and the Spanish National Research council, scientists concurred that the flavonoids in grapes can stop the chemical reaction that causes cells to die, which ultimately causes skin damage.

Drinking wine or eating grapes could protect you from sunburn due to a chemical in the fruit that can limit cell damage and prevent the skin from forming “reactive oxygen species.”

Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right? Cheers!
