Sponsor Highlight: Expressions Tanning! Come check it out on Saturday, 5/31!

I see friends every week who ask me where I've gone on vacation due to my great glow from Expressions Tanning! 

Expressions Tanning has MANY tanning solutions to fit every person's needs.  As a red-head, I burn easily and prefer the UV-free tanning options Expressions offers - both the Mystic (machine-sprayed tan) and the professionally airbrushed tan. Both have given me great color - I have NEVER looked 'orange'! 

I update my UV-Free tan weekly for a look of sun-kissed skin year-round!

Before a recent trip to Southern Utah, I spent a few short sessions in a non-burn ray tanning bed to build up a little color to avoid the painful, skin damaging 'first burn of the season' which really also helped me enjoy my Southern Utah trip.

Expressions Tanning is more than a tanning salon.  It truly is a spa experience.  I have the lotions from Expression Tanning that help my tan last longer and help the color fade evenly between weekly sessions.  I have utilized their teeth whitening service - which in 3 exposures leaves your teeth a beautiful white (which goes great with the sun-kissed skin)!  They also offer facials to keep your face and pores clean and gorgeous!

I highly recommend that you check out Expressions Tanning!  They have two locations which are conveniently located and you can get in and out and on your way quickly.

I will be at Expressions Tanning this Saturday, May 31st signing autographs and taking photos with anyone and everyone stopping in to check out Expressions Tanning!  If you come in to Expressions Tanning on Saturday - you get a FREE Level 1 or Level 2 Tan!  And there are many more specials that are only revealed when you stop in!

Come check out Expressions Tanning this Saturday!  You have nothing to lose and great color to gain!  I look forward to seeing you there!!

For those of you wondering, how does The Center for Grieving Children relate to my platform of Youth Service?

The Center for Grieving Children actually supports many youth who have lost family members to suicide.  I'm sure all of us know someone who has been impacted by a friend or family member who has chosen to take their own life.

I know ALL of us have times where we feel nothing we do is good enough.  When we compare ourselves to others - there is ALWAYS someone more talented, prettier, kinder, more popular, etc. 

While there are certainly situations of depression that need medical and professional counseling, I feel that we can make a difference in the lives of others by starting to serve others when we are young.  Reaching outside of yourself to give to others takes the focus away from ourselves and puts it on someone else.  When we aren't focused on the challenges in our own lives we are giving to others and can truly find the joy we seek in our own lives.

Am I saying that youth service will conquer all suicide?  Of course not.  What I am saying, however, is that youth service will make a difference!  Youth who serve become adults who serve.  I believe that if we instill the love of service in youth, it WILL matter and make a difference in their lives and the lives of others. 

So - use your handz for good!  Find someone and something you can do every day to make a difference in the life of someone else (or the environment or animals)!

Serving Brings Joy!

I hope to see you on June 14th!!

PS - It is important to take ANY hint or threat of suicide seriously.  This is also providing a great service by being a friend and a support system for others.  Don't ever think someone is joking when they talk about death.  You can help; you can serve them!  Here's a great link for information:
