Complete beginner

Hey! I have NEVER used a self tanner and haven't tanned at all since I was a teenager. I am pale. Pale to the point that people joke about me being translucent. I picked up the Tanologist gradual tan body lotion in the medium version because I was scared to self tan & accidentally turn myself orange or have patchy/streaky application. I don't know, I just don't want to look dumb. I don't know where to start lmao. I'd love a DARK color eventually but I feel like I just don't know enough to even get started. Do we do our hands? Feet? Face? What about the.. nether regions? Do those stay pale? Are we tanning that? What products do you use lmao. Help a ghost girl out. I forgot to wash my hands last night after applying the lotion so now I have "trump hands" according to my husband. Anyone know how long it's gonna last if I do screw up? 🥴

36 weeks & desperately need a girl name

We are having a surprise baby. We don't know the gender and won't until delivery. We have a boy name picked out. Keegan Matthew. But, I cannot for the life of me, pick out a girl name. I have a daughter, I named her Lorelei Celeste to give an idea of a name i did end up liking. For the longest we settled on Jordan Eliza. It honored two cousins I had that passed, BUT I changed my mind a month ago. My due date is May 17th & that is the day my sister passed. Her name was Emily Agnes. And then my grandmother, who's name was Lenae Marie, unexpectedly passed from lung cancer & ​I asked my husband then if he minded changing the name to honor them both. The thing is - I geniunely don't want to call my baby the name of someone I was THAT close to. I wasn't close with my cousins, but I was very close to my sister and grandmother. The only name I can seem to land on is Emily Lenae & i said we would just call the baby Millie Mae. My grandmother was called Grandma Mae since the kids couldn't pronounce Lenae.. I just don't know what else would be pretty. I don't like the name Emma or Emy. I don't know of any other variation of Lenae. I had suggested something like Madison Marie to just honor my grandmother, but everyone hates the name Marie. 🙃 it is my mother's middle name, my grandmother's middle name, my mother in laws middle name, my sister in laws middle name.. no one wants Marie included. Help lmao

If I didn't honor anyone at all - I will say I like that name Haylo (my name is Hayley and thought it was clever and cute) I also like long names like Madeline, Josephine, Lillianna (Lily), Eliana/Elaine. My husband threw in Magnolia but I don't think he actually cares one way or the other and has also thrown out 101 other names he doesn't actually have any strong opinions on lmao.

I don't really HAVE to use Emily or Lenae. I also like the idea of just doing a spring/may name since baby is due in May. I just need another opinion 💀 i don't mind Millie Mae - that seems to be the number 1 choice but it just feels... off?
