I was talking with my friend, Melissa, a few weeks ago and I  found out that she specializes in custom airbrush tanning. She does a great job of giving people a natural looking sunless tan (as you can see in the photos). Airbrush tanning allows you to have a controlled level of detail, shading and customization for your skin without the tan lines, streaks or turning orange, like what some store-purchased self tanner spray bottles do to your skin. Plus, airbrush tanning is a healthy alternative to tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed.

An airbrush tan would be perfect for vacations, proms, dance/cheer competitions, engagement photos, weddings, or if you just want a nice looking tan. Melissa does wedding parties and tanning parties, so if you have a group of eight people or more, she will come to you. Contact her at 435-313-4681 for specials and group discounts.

An airbrush tan lasts approximately 7-10 days, and the cost is as follows:

• Women’s full body – $25
• Men’s full body – $35
• Face Only – $10
• Arms Only – $10
• Legs Only – $10

For those of you who would like to try an airbrush tan, mention Saving Cent by Cent to Melissa and you’ll receive 10% off an airbrush tan. This 10% discount is only good through March 31, 2017. Melissa also has a deal that when you buy 9 tans, you will get one free. Contact Melissa at 435-313-4681 to schedule an appointment, and also check out her Airbrush Tanning by Melissa Facebook page.

My daughter was holding her blanket the other day, and as I looked closer I noticed blood stains all over it. I’m not sure if it was from a cut on her hand or blood from a cracked lip, but I needed to wash it to get the blood out.

I recently received a bottle of the new Purex plus Clorox 2 laundry detergent and decided to try it out. I pretreated the blood stains and rubbed a little Purex plus Clorox 2 on the 10+ blood stains on her blanket and let it sit for 5 minutes before throwing the blanket in the washing machine with a small capful of the laundry detergent.

After is came out of the washing machine and before I put it into the dryer, I looked all over the blanket and there wasn’t a single blood stain anywhere on it. I’m so glad all of the stains came out on that first washing and I didn’t have to try again to get the stains out.

Renuzit has come out with new Renuzit Sensitive Scents that provide long-lasting freshness without overpowering your senses. I had the opportunity to try out three of the new Renuzit Sensitive Scents:

• Adjustable Cones – Perfect for small spaces, the cones last up to 4 weeks and are made with biodegradable gel.
• Universal Scented Oils – Renuzit’s Plug-In Refills universally fit in any Glade or Air Wick oil warming unit*.
• Trigger Spray – Neutralize tough odors, musky fabrics, and other unpleasant smells with instant spray action.

I placed the adjustable cone in my front room so that when I invite company over, the room will have a nice fragrance. I placed the scented oil in one of the bathrooms to keep a fresh scent there all the time. And the trigger spray has been enjoyable for my girls because they can spray an area of the house they want to smell nice. The scents are pleasant and come in three fragrances: Pure Water Blossom & Cucumber, Pure Ocean Breeze, and Pure White Pear & Lavendar.

My girls were so excited a few weeks ago when a large box showed up on our front porch. They couldn’t wait to open it, but I made them wait until my husband was home so he could help with this project. When we finally opened the box, my girls squealed with delight when they saw that we received a Kid’s Table and Chairs from Sprout.

We started by first assembling the kids table. It had three pieces that interlocked to hold it together. I liked that we didn’t need any tools to do this. We then assembled the chairs, which had five pieces for each chair. Once we read the instructions and put everything together, it only took us less than 10 minutes. It was so easy to do! We probably would have been able to assemble it faster, but we had lots of help from our three children. Plus, we enjoyed doing it together as a family.

Renuzit has come out with a new Renuzit Pearl Scents product, and I love that it’s designed so it can be part of the home decor. Inside the jars are colorful, scented jelly-like pearls that look very cool. Plus, the fragrances smell really good. I had the opportunity to try out two Renuzit Pearl Scents: Sparkling Rain and Blue Sky Breeze. And the fun part is that I was given a gift card to go on a little home decorating spree to spruce up a small are in my home.

My house decor is very simple (as you can see in the photo above), and I don’t spend much money on decorating. That’s partly because money seems to always be needed for other things such as bills, children’s clothing, and a dishwasher that just isn’t working well anymore. So it was fun to buy a few items to add to my home decor and that also looked good with the Renuzit jars.

For 67 years, the Dial brand has been developing personal care products. And recently, Dial just announced its entry into the babies’ personal care products with its new Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash. This was developed with pediatric dermatologists specifically for babies’ skin, and it gently removes dirt from head to toe.

I tried it out on my eight-month old baby and really liked it. I like that its gentle on the skin, that it’s tear free and that it can be used for the entire body including the hair.

I recently had the opportunity to try out another of Dial’s new hand soaps. This one is the Dial Miracle Oil Hand Soap. The Miracle Oil gently removes dirt from your hands and leaves them feeling smooth and refreshed. And the Miracle Oil is infused with Marula Oil and uses Micro Oil technology to nourish and deeply hydrate your skin while protecting it.
