Light tanner for a newbie

The only time I've ever really done tanning was briefly in high school. I would lay in a tanning bed but I did not like the color I was getting, it was so orange and not a nice bronze otherwise I might have stuck with it.

I'm super pale and very freckly. I don't mind being pale, it's just who I am at this point. What bothers me is how ghostly pale my legs are, which is saying something.

So, why I'm here. I want to get my legs closer to my arms/the rest of my body. Are there any self tanning products that will give me a light tan? Like, super light. Make me more of a cream and less of a milk situation.

Ceramic mosaic after a house fire

My mom recently had a house fire, everything was lost. My dad, who passed away about 10 years ago, had a very large mug collection. While shifting through the rubble we found tons of them, or their pieces at least.

Is it possible to use these pieces for a mosaic? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for the best ways to go about it?

Thank you!

In March my(f29) partner(m30) of 10.5 years, husband for 6, cheated on me. 

I won't get into too many details because every one of you will say to just leave him. But to make quick work of it, he meet a girl online and after a week or so of talking to her made plans to meet up with her. He drove down to see her and they slept together. This was over the course of a month. I found out about it the week after he slept with her and kicked him out of the house. 

We have two kids together and my son from a previous relationship. He's been in my sons life since he was about 1.5 y/o. 

When I kicked him out I told everyone that would listen what happened. My friends, his friends, our mutual friends, both of our families. Literally everyone. I did this because I wanted to safe gaurd myself from taking him back. I knew I would if he gave me the chance I thought that telling everyone would stop me. 

Surprise surprise. I took him back.

He does truly seem remorseful and has been doing everything he can to help me and to build back our relationship that had started to fall apart long before the affair. We're in couples counseling and our therapist is really happy with where we are. We've been incredibly honest with her and with each other about where we are in all of this. 

Why did I take him back? I know that's your first question. Simply put, I have to believe that the man I have known for the last ten years is not the man that cheated on me. I never ever would have suspected this of him or truly believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. 

Here's my question, is it truly possible to rebuild a relationship after something like this? I am constantly worrying that he's lying about where he's going for work or what he's doing if he has to stay late, something he always had to do for work. I'm constantly dreaming about him cheating on me. I'm constantly worried that he's pulling away again and going to do it again. I'm worried that he's not going to be happy in a relationship with me where every time he looks at me he thinks about all of the pain he's caused. I'm worried that I won't be enough. 

Will this get better in time? I believe our relationship is worth fighting for but I'm so scared it's not going to get better. That I'm just setting myself up for disappointment or for him to be miserable in the long run. I have so many thoughts and feelings involved in this we'd be here all day. Does anyone have any words of wisdom that aren't just to divorce him?
