There's nothing better than having the perfect tan, especially if you get it the safe way. Whether you prefer an all-over bronze glow or a lighter, natural tone, take a look at what St. Tropez Tan can do to bring out your inner sun goddess.

Now that it's March there are new sales at BeautyOfASite. High quality hair brands like Phyto Haircare and Rene Furterer are on sale! Also, try out some new nail polish shades, we are closing out of everything Essie. Check out some of our favorites that are on sale now.

So, you may have gotten a sample in your Birch Box, or maybe you've seen the ads and heard the hype about St. Tropez's newest product release the Gradual Tan In Shower. ($28)

This product is revolutionary in the fact that you can literally get tan, while in the shower!!  Simply do your normal routine.....suds, shampoo, shave, sing, whatever, but then your last step is to apply the tanning lotion to damp skin.  Now comes the hard part--you MUST wait 3 minutes before rinsing the stuff off.  So for 3 minutes why not decompress from your day, do a mini workout, practice that breathing technique from yoga!!  However you choose to spend your 3 minutes is totally up to you!!  

After rinsing, simply pat dry and watch your skin get a nice, natural tan.  This is "gradual" so remember that it builds as time goes on.  Also, the more often you apply it, the darker your tan will look.  We have also noticed it works really well on fair complected people.  Those sun worshipers in our office, did not see a huge difference, because their base tan was already well established.

The St Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower also has a nice light fragrance that is not your typical tanning scent.  It was pleasant to wear, and my husband even noticed I had a "new smell" (typical man terms for ya!)

Beautyofasite.com is one of the first online retailers to have this product in stock...and they are flying out the door!  Be sure to get yours while we have a special early bird sale price of $28.

Congratulations, readers, you've made it!  March 20th marks the first day of Spring 2011. Embrace the new season with Beauty of a Site!

1. Wear Green

The most prominent sign of the new season is the hints of green popping up all over the country. Whether for your favorite St. Patty's day party or just for celebrating the season, green celebrates new growth and new chances.  It's an essential part of your wardrobe! Try Zoya's Gemma for a chic green hue.

2. Welcome Florals

More than any other season, Spring has its very own smell. Even before the flowers start blooming, get rid of winter's musty smell with fresh florals of your own! Choose Kai's Room and Linen spray for hawaiian-inspired freshness, or this lily-scented Springtime Tulips candle from Aunt Sadie!

3. Bring on the sun!

Warmer weather, short sleeves and flip flops are not far off. Prepare your skin for the challenge: scrub up, moisturize and bring on the bronze! We suggest Cake's Soothing Sugar Scrub, Get Fresh Rich Body Creme and at home tanning from St. Tropez.

We're about done with the drab rainy weather we're enduring here in Illinois, so we're turning our thoughts to sunny beaches, relaxation and Spring Break. In preparation, we've all started our daily self-tanning regiments so that we're looking beautiful and bronzed by the time we take off for the islands. Our self tanning regiment of choice is, unanimously, the range of St. Tropez. Forget "turning orange" or gross hands or streaks, lines or splotches. Using a truly unique and professional formulation, St. Tropez tanning lotions and whipped bronzers create an even and natural looking tan, every time. The neatest part is that St. Tropez offers a variety of products that give lighter tans or darker tans, quicker tans or gradual tans with special products for legs, face or body.
