Gaylord National Christmas on the Potomac – and Gaylord Ice Coupon Code Cyber Monday Savings.
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.…” After this weekends visit to the Gaylord National, I really can’t get the song out of my head… I am ready for Christmas!
Visiting the Gaylord National was an amazing way to get into the holiday spirit. The resort and convention center were beautifully decorated. This year, the Christmas activities and spirit is magnified with everyone’s favorite green Christmas Character – Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
This year was imply amazing. It was the very first year the entire family could participate. I wondered if it would go well, the twins being just shy of 2 years old, but it was great. They seriously had the time of their life and I have never laughed so hard, I cried watching the twins come down the ICE! ice slide! You can imagine how great tears feel in 9 degree temperatures!
You and your family will marvel at more than 2 million holiday lights and acres of magnificent decorations, plus spectacular holiday activities and events that are sure to get you in the spirit of the season and create lasting family memories!
As always, our favorite part of ICE! is this ice slides. The kids enjoy that even their mom gets a spin in this winter wonderland of a playground. This year the sculptures were incredibly bright! Amazing colors that really stood out telling the story of The Grinch movie.
Fascinating details about ICE!
Dress warmly, but don’t fret. You are given a Blue Parka for your comfort. I personally forgot my winter coat and was fine – though I would suggest not forgetting yours! We wore our ski hats, ski gloves, wool socks, and scarves with our parka. I even had the girls put their ski coat below their parka. This native to Florida girls had to stay warm, 9 degrees is cold!
Back again this year is the 25-minute Cirque Dreams Unwrapped performance in the Gaylord National atrium. This was pretty incredible! All the great things of Cirque with a beautiful Potomac backdrop!
This Christmas, the Garden Atrium at Gaylord National comes alive with Cirque Dreams Unwrapped. Be dazzled with this spellbinding production of Seasons Dreamings combining breathtaking artistry, music and showmanship from around the world. The entire family can enjoy this uniquely inspired 25-minute Christmas fable performed on our atrium stage and in the air with spectacular costumes and soaring imagination. Don’t miss this new intimate entertainment extravaganza that will have everyone on the edge of their seat and feet!

If you are spending about $30 per spray tan visit, that equates to just over 11 visits. By your 12th spray tan at home, you begin to save!

Want to try Million Dollar Tan for less? That’s fine. Try the product first. Save $10 when you purchase Mermaid Mousse Extreme with Blend Friend Mitt Set.
Tan Tips:
Prep your skin. Exfoliate your skin and get rid of try skin. Do not apply moisturizer.
Wear dark, loose fitting clothes after session. During a spray tan, if you choose to wear a bikini, wear a dark one you do not mind getting stained.
Apply a thick moisturizer as barrier cream. Keep it thick. Apply to fingers, hands, toes, knuckles, cuticles, bottoms and sides of feet.
Wait for it. Do not shower or get your skin wet for at least 4 hours. You will gradually notice an increase in color.
Keep your glow longer by keeping moisturizer on your skin the days after your spray tan.
Want something cheaper? Did you know that Sunless Tanning is really easy at home with many of today’s products. They are not spray tans but rather lotions and foams you put on.
These are my top three favorite products.
Jergens Natural Glow is easy for every day use. It gradually creates flawless, natural looking color while hydrating skin. You apply this one daily to enhance your own color. It is a streak free coloring moisturizer. If you are not lazy and commit to putting on this product regularly, you can maintain a glow on your skin.
Sun Laboratories Self Tanner is a my favorite for a quick, right off the beach color. It works immediately and is not orange. Natural Ingredients, paraben free. Do not use this product if you do not want a true color change. It is obvious, but looks great! Look for a clickable coupon. I recommended a self tanning glove for this product.
With natural and organic materials, the Beauty by Earth self tanner has over 4,000 reviews and almost 5 stars. currently there is a good promotion too.
