Babbling about Self-Tanners and Life Updates

#173: Summer"s approaching, and for those of us blessed with fair skin, the struggle to achieve that sun-kissed glow without damaging UV exposure is real. As a redhead who spent years pursuing the "perfect tan" through harmful methods, I"ve become something of an expert on self-tanners – from the orange disasters of decades past to today"s sophisticated formulations. This episode dives deep into the world of self-tanners with honest reviews of two leading brands: my longtime favorite Tanologist and the viral sensation Peta Jane. I break down everything from application techniques and development time to longevity and the dreaded DHA smell that can linger on everything from your sheets to your dog. If you"re pale-complected and looking for a safer alternative to tanning beds or sun exposure, this comparison might save you both money and disappointment. Between beauty reviews, I share the hilarious story of my 10-pound Chihuahua who decided to chase geese (with predictably terrifying results), heartwarming interactions with patients (including a 97-year-old WWII veteran with the sweetest advice about teeth), and an update on my ongoing journey with filler complications and the importance of ultrasound-guided dissolution procedures. You"ll also hear about my late-to-the-party obsession with Real Housewives of Atlanta and previews of upcoming interviews with Light on Yoga in Huntsville and Needles with Natty from the Collective on South Jefferson. Whether you"re here for the beauty tips, healthcare insights, or just enjoy listening to someone babble nonsense while you multitask, this episode offers plenty to smile about.
