MY FALL TAN – Tanceuticals

Happy Thursday Ya’ll!

Saying goodbye to Summer & hello to Fall!

I am looking forward to sharing with you all my Fall tan hacks with Tanceuticals. A couple years ago, I stopped going to the tanning bed and strictly focused on trying to find the best self-tanner products to help my skin. Truly, that was the best decision I had ever made. It’s a lot more work but I have a lot less worry about damaging my skin. When I had the chance to partner with this brand I was so excited! I have ALWAYS wanted to try out their products. One of my favorite products is the “Wash Off Bronzer”. I have used this when I am in a hurry and need a quick tan for the day. It is like a lotion but will wash right off when you want to get in the shower at the end of the day. They also offer these products:

Color Correct Self- Tanning Mouse – This one is streak free and leaves a natural looking tan ( I think that’s why I love it so much) . It makes you appear dark rather than the orange look of other self-tanners. I use this quite often.

Pre-Tan Exfoliator – 24 hours before using mouse or any self tanner, it’s always best to exfoliate your skin to get all the previous excess tan off. This product is GREAT.

CC Self-Tanning Body Lotion – If you’re not a mouse gal, this lotion works in the same ways & creates a flawless tan.

CC Self-Tanning Face Lotion – This face lotion is great for use if you don’t want to clog your pores or cause acne when self-tanning your face.

I always feel my best when I’m tan. These products are easy to use and a must try for this upcoming season. Don’t loose your Summer tan! You can get 10% off with my code : “Kenzie10”

The Perfect Game Day Shoe

Happy Tuesday! Football season is right around the corner and its getting me so ready for fall candles, tailgating, and fall foliage. Today, I wanted to give you a little insight to my favorite game day shoe from OTBT Shoes. I am currently wearing the “Bushnell” in the color taupe. If you are in search of a comfortable shoe but want to be trendy & have a little height at the same time, this brand is a MUST for you. As soon as a tried out this wedge, I knew it was a product I could wear for game day weekends and not end up with blisters on the bottom on my feet from walking so much when tailgating or walking to the stadium. This shoe can be considered a splurge but it’s long lasting and can go with practically anything from jeans to dresses.

You can use my code “KENZIEWHEELER” on OTBT Shoes to get 10% off any purchase & it is valid for one year/one per customer.

Happy Hump Day Folks!

     The fall foliage has been so pretty lately around town. I just had to get a picture with all the leaves (typical blogger for fall) .Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away and that means eating all the food we can! lol I don’t know about you but I am so ready for some turkey.This year I will be spending it on the coast with Justin’s fam. Of course I’ll miss my family but I’m super excited for a change for this year!

     Anyways, I wanted to get on and share with you guys some of my favorite pieces you can style for Thanksgiving Day and wear to your LIVING ROOM. HAHAH y’all there is a meme I saw on Instagram basically saying ” All you ladies get dressed up to hangout in your living room on Thanksgiving”. YUP, I am guilty and I know many of you feel the same. The sweater I am wearing above came from a little boutique called MIRA MIRA in Columbus, MS. They have the CUTEST fall clothes and some of the stripes are made out of chenille material. If you have been following along my Instagram you know that chenille is my favorite this fall. Super cozy, soft, & warm, I am just obsessed. Give me all the chenille! Below you will find some pieces I think will look super cute on anyone this Thanksgiving!

  2. Double pom-pom beanie – ya’ll when I tell you this is my favorite beanie I mean it. They come in so many different colors are just so fun to wear, under $17

  5. Lace-up cami – probably the most comfortable & popular cami off of Nordstrom’s website, pair it with the cardigan below for a cute fall look! (comes in many colors)
  6. Cardigan – LOVE this cardigan, especially the color, gives me all the Thanksgiving vibes, only $20
  7. Over-the-knee boots – these are a MUST this season, they go so well with jeans and a tunic sweater or with a skirt and cropped sweater, under $100
