Patch Picks: Best Ways to Kick off Your Summer
School's officially out and June Gloom has almost disappeared. Slip on some flip flops, leave your worries behind and kick off your summer with our five picks of the week.
Get a Tan: OC MOBILE SPRAY TAN
145 Pasto Rico, Rancho Santa Margarita
Let’s face it, we all look better with a tan. But unless you’ve been living under a rock the past few years, you’re probably aware tanning beds have been linked to skin cancer and premature aging. Kick off your summer with a bronze bod and call up OC Mobile Spray Tan. This company uses the Infinity Sun Spa Spray Tanning System, as seen on E! Network’s popular show “Sunset Tan.” It’s the world’s only skin care system that delivers a highly customized natural looking spray tan and is FDA approved. The process is simple: a certified spray tan expert comes to your home at your convenience, sets up a small spray tent and tans you. The process takes only a few minutes, and the results last 5-10 days. Full body spray runs $65, but first time customers can enjoy a bargain price of $50.
