Vacay Style: Hit the Beach One More Time Before Fall Gets Here!

I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for summer to end. And, frankly, with September being the best beach month of the year, I see no reason to start feeling like Fall's just around the corner. (Fall, I'll welcome you with open arms when it's time to start my 30-Days-Till-Thanksgiving-Mashed-Potatoes Countdown - until then, back off.) So in the spirit of late Summer vacations and wringing every moment of sun and warmth out of my favorite season, I scoured the Web for the best beaches in the US. Turns out, some well-traveled folks have very strong opinions on the subject! Travel and Leisure, for example, loves Cape Cod, Massachusetts for its prime swimming and considers Pfeffer State Beach in Big Sur, California an excellent nature escape. The folks over at Daily Candy love Cape May, New Jersey and Santa Cruz, California for their old school beach town vibe. And Gorp says you'll see the best sunset at Polihale, Hawaii. My latest obsession? Taking the perilous, cliff-side road from San Francisco to gorgeous Stinson Beach...a 3.5-mile dog-friendly stretch of khaki sand with quintessential California coastline views. Summer's not over yet, baby!

Summer Style: Self-Tanners for Under $10 Guaranteed to NOT Turn You Orange!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard friends say they won't try self-tanning because they're scared of streaking or turning orange. But what they don't realize is that self-tanning products have come light years since the days of Tang-tinged skin and tiger stripes. The advances over the last few years have ushered in an array of products that will leave even the most timid girl a believer. I myself happen to be a self-tanning addict. I'll slather the stuff on like body lotion and not give it a second thought. And while I'll be the first to admit I might have the occasional uneven application or dark spot, I've never had a day where I couldn't show my face (or arms) in public, even with my haphazard application! What small streaks or spots I might incur are so small and unnoticeable and that anyone who gives their application the smallest care (unlike me) will be left with a near-flawless application. So, what are these glorious sun-kissed products I swear by? I'm glad you asked. My go-to self-tanning products are listed below, and the best part? They're all under $10. Click on the slideshow and I'll tell you more!
