I am the owner and creator of Wanderlust Glow and The Glow Sessions Spray Tan Training. I am a wife, mom, half girly girl, half tomboy, lover of Jesus, sports, animals, music and all things beauty. I have a deep passion for people and travel.
I have been trained by the best in the business. My spray tan and contour training come from celebrity tan artist and creator of Glow by Erin – (Glow and Grow Erin’s VIP training) x 3, Perfect Glow Sunless (Spray Tan Academy) x 2, master certified with Spray Tan Class by Kelly Callaghan and certified by Maria Michelle, owner and creator of Brown Sugar Spray Tanz & Hey Maria Michelle’Lee in spray tanning the POC and Bi-POC communities. In 2020 I attended Shonna Dexter’s Association of Sunless Tanning Professionals Sunless Summit. I am a former member of Sunless Evolution by Grant Kantsios and tan artist-to-the-stars Jimmy Coco. I was a part of Wake Up to Level Up (WULU) 2020 and was a gold member at Slay the Spray 2021 where I earned a recognition award for my dedication to the sunless industry in Beauty Business Babes. Lastly, I concluded business training withe Pretty Rich Bosses by Sheila Bella and her team. I believe it is extremely important to stay educated and abreast of all the newest solutions, equipment and trends so that I may bring the most relevant and top tier information to my clients and trainees.
How it started – I, like many people, love to be tan and have that summer glow all year round. For several years, tanning beds were my thing. I loved tanning beds. To me, they were relaxing. I loved the way I felt and looked when I was finished tanning. I even took naps in the beds. I recall when tanning bed times went from 30 minute sessions to 20 minute sessions and finally to 10 minute sessions. I was sad about it as that was my favorite time of day. The 10 minute sessions were conducive to my busy, fast-paced lifestyle but did not give me that relaxation I loved. I was uneducated like many people about the potential harm the beds were doing to my body inside and out. I was young and did not care much about those things. When you’re young, sometimes you feel invincible like you are going to live forever. I finally came to my senses and started to realize the likelihood of me getting skin cancer was a real possibility. Not to mention the leathery, wrinkled skin and other hazards. I stopped tanning in beds and stayed perpetually pale unless it was summertime. In my early 30’s I began using the misting booths at tanning salons. My tans were uneven, the color was not customized to my skin tone or needs. I was the color of an oompa loompa and the experience was impersonal. Fast forward to my late 30’s, I started spray tanning. For the most part, I liked the color I was getting. However, I knew nothing of pre-tan preparation, post-tan aftercare, do’s, don’ts, or what was in the products being used on me. I needed a tan for a bridal event and a dear friend recommended a mobile spray tan girl in my area. She was very affordable and the thought of her coming to me was fantastic. I achieved the color that I desired but not much more – no education, information or real customer service. I never heard from her again even after reaching out.
After all of my experiences and realizing the need for a professionally trained, educated, certified and insured spray tan artist in my area, Wanderlust Glow was born. My commitment is to provide as much education to our clients and trainees as possible about the process, products and experience.
My promise is to get to know each one of my clients and trainees with a one-on-one consultation. I am trained to work with all skin types and skin tones. I only use the highest quality, PETA approved, clean, luxury products that are UV, gluten, paraben and cruelty free. Our solutions are derived from natural ingredients, made with the purest form of dihydroxyacetone or DHA. They are safe, not sticky, do not leave you orange and fade evenly with proper aftercare.
No more harmful beds. No more uneven misting booth tans. No more orange color.
