How To Videos!


Happy Monday, friends!

I hope you guys all had a wonderful Easter weekend (I mean…as wonderful as it could be all things considered).  We had gorgeous Good Friday, but a rainy Saturday and Sunday…so, here’s hoping for some sunshine this week.

Okay, on Instagram this week, I asked a question and would love to know your answers too!!  Right now, Andrew and I are watching Cheers on Netflix and loving it.  I had forgotten how funny that show was (I’m team Rebecca by the way) which made us start talking about “if you could only watch one series for the rest of your life, what would it be?”.  I said Frasier and Andrew said Curb Your Enthusiasm.  WHAT WOULD YOU PICK? I loved looking through the responses because it actually reminded me of some really great shows I could be binge watching during this time.  So, please comment and share!

Today, I’m sharing a “how to” video about my sunless tanner (because so many of you asked!) and then posting a few others that I shared last week on Instagram.  For those of you who are not into the videos, do not worry, this is not going to be a regular thing!  I just needed one spot to drop them all.  I hope you all have a great start to your week!!!

    Your question is tough! I’d need to choose a show that has a bajillion seasons so it’d take me a while to get through them all.

      • MAUREEN WERNER says

        Oh my goodness! I started Hart of Dixie last week and am loving it! Hope you like it too! I think I am going to re-watch all the Friends episodes after I am done! I need something funny and light!

      • Valerie says

        You’ll love it. It reminds me a little of Gilmore Girls with all their town traditions and festivals.

        • Amy says

          It goes downhill after the first season — I did not like the story line in subsequent seasons- Boo!

  3. Holley says

    These are just sooo much FUN! I’ve LOVED the videos you did with Andrew! It was so fun to see how “normal” you guys are! Love it! Made me want to be friends even more with you guys!
    -Holley @ beesimplyorganized.com

  5. Nikki says

    Which shade of the lip color do you use in the makeup video? It links to a red color but yours looks more pink.

  6. Valerie Allen says

    Thanks for sharing how you use the tanning drops, Shay! I was curious if you still use the Dr. Gross Glow pads for your body or do you use something else now?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I’ve been using the Isle of Paradise Water for my body this spring! I really like it, and it’s easy to apply.

  10. Cathy Carter says

    Love all your videos!!! Thank you for sharing! Going on the recommendations from you and Shaeffer ?, I purchased the isle of paradise. Love it!! I was wondering if you could also do a video on how you apply the tanning water to your body?!? Love reading your blog every morning!! I refer to “my blogger” at least once, maybe twice” ? a day!

  14. Carrie says

    I love these videos. When I was watching you and Andrew I was thinking I could totally see you two hosting a talk show kind of like the Home & Family one on Hallmark! Love you guys!

  15. Ryan C. says

    I love your question!!! I absolutely love TV and have binged quite a bit (maybe I shouldn’t admit that, lol)… I love:
    The Brady Bunch
    Modern Family
    The Big Bang Theory
    Greys Anatomy
    Game of Thrones
    Hart of Dixie
    Ozark
    Breaking Bad

    Currently working through:
    Cheers &
    The Office

    But, my ALL TIME FAVORITE, that I could watch for the rest of my life….
    …FRIENDS!
    That is seriously, the best show ever!!

  19. Stacey says

    Friends, Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, Sons of Anarchy, Downton Abbey… oh man, oh man! One?! Probably Downton Abbey?!

  20. Alison M. says

    Hi there! Thanks for the videos! What color of caviar stick do you use? I haven’t tried those, yet!

  21. Danielle Manning says

    If I could only watch one TV show for the rest of my life, I would probably choose Friends! The Office and New Girl are a close second. 😉 Anything super light-hearted and funny.

  22. Rachel Dean says

    I also really enjoy the videos!! Especially the ones with you and Andrew 🙂 they’re a lot of fun to watch!! If I had to choose a show to watch forever it would be Gilmore Girls or The Office!

    • Julie says

      This is my answer too! Love the Golden Girls. It’s old but never fails to make me laugh. And I need that right now especially!

  24. Laurie says

    Thanks for all the tutorials and tips! I have a question regarding the tanning drops….when you take your makeup off at night does a lot of the tanner rub off? Is there a specific way you do it to ensure that doesn’t happen? Thanks again!!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      No, I use it every 5 days or so because it does fade by then, but not after the first wash or two!

  25. Julie Bradford says

    Big Bang Theory is soo good and FUNNY.. you need to try it!
    Thank you for the margarita recipe.. I am needing one about now :PPP all these hats to wear during the week..
    teacher/coworker/mom/supervisor/principal/referee/agent/underwriter… whew it’s hard but this too shall pass and I will look back and remember the time I worked from home and spent time with my girls that I haven’t done since they were first born..
    thank you for blogging… and btw I love the videos..

  26. Allena Gurley says

    My first instinct is Downton Abbey because I’ve watched the whole series probably 5 or 6 times and still LOVE it. But I think it might be good to have a longer show so it’d take me longer to get through it since I’d have to repeat it forever ha. So in that vein, I’d probably say Law & Order: SVU. 21 seasons and counting haha. I LOVE Mariska Hargitay!

  27. Liana says

    Love all your videos!
    Do you still apply your retin A after putting on the tanning drops?

  28. Julie says

    I love your videos! You make people happy :). I’ve seen dermoplaning all over the internet and I’m so intrigued yet nervous to try. Have you tried it and do you recommend?

    I’m with Andrew on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Had always been my favorite show!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I did it once at the dermatologist’s office years ago and realized, I could just do that at home as needed myself!

      • Julie says

        I would love to know how you do it at home! I really want to try while we are quarantined so if I mess it up no one sees me 🙂 Do you have to do it very often once you start?

          • Julie says

            Did I mention you’re my favorite person today? Much nicer to me than my homeschool students ;). Thanks and can’t wait to see the demo!

          • Mix and Match Mama says

            Bahahaha! Well, my homeschool kids might not think I’m always nice 😉 .

  29. Karah Stracener says

    I love the videos! We have now been using your margarita recipe and love it. Thanks for sharing. I’m off to purchase the tanning drops. You always have the best faux glow.

  30. Susie Harrold says

    Longmire!! It is sooooooo good. My husband and I are on season 4.

    Shay- 2 random questions.
    What is the link to that T-shirt co. where you and K get T-shirt’s?
    Also, any more trouble with the coyotes? : )

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      It’s J Crew but no longer in stock…and YES…there was one there last night when Andrew and I were on the patio watching TV. What the heck?! Go away!

  31. Susie LaBelle says

    So, I’m wondering if the Self-Tanning product has an after-smell. I can’t take the ones that do!! LOVE your videos and your sweet family <3

  33. Mary says

    Can you do a video on how you get your “poof” when you wear your hair up. I’m loving the videos.

  35. Elizabeth says

    Questions about the tanning drops. How does this affect your makeup colors? I mean, do you use your usual foundation color? Do you get a tanner color of foundation? I’m so intrigued.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Because I use it year around, it doesn’t affect it. I can use it every 5 days and my makeup goes on as normal.

  36. Debbie says

    That 70’s Show, Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, or Friends. I know that’s not just one tv series but they are all really good!

  38. Lorelei Boyett says

    Love love all of your videos, I’ll watch whatever y’all do!

    My series to watch would definitely be King of Queens!! Jerry Stiller is genius!!

  40. Nicole Saaf says

    Do you find that your hands ever turn orange from the oil?! I run into that problem often?

  41. Kim Peterson says

    You never have an issue with your face neck being more tan than your shoulder/chest area with this method? Just curious before I give it a try. Thanks!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I don’t! I always rub it in on my neck a little to blend, but it’s just a nice little glow and not a full on tan, so I don’t think it makes a huge line.

  42. Liliane Dunham says

    Schitts Creek is genius. You guys will love it. So well made.
    Love your videos Shay
    Love from Canada

  43. Cassie says

    Hi! What do you use on your body so that it matches your face? Do you not put the sunless tanner on your neck?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I really just put it on exactly like the video year around. I don’t really worry with my body until the weather warms up and then I use their “water” for my body!

  44. Melanie says

    I love Hart of Dixie and have watched it twice. I also watched Gilmore Girls twice. They do remind me of each other, too. And interesting fact, the same gazebo is used in both shows. I also really enjoyed Parenthood but Netflix removed it.

  45. Jess R. says

    Gilmore Girls! My daughter and I are slightly obsessed with this show. We have watched all the seasons over and over. I have lost count on how many times we have watched it all the way through ( now including the Year in the Life).
    In fact, it is on right now as i am watching this…. on season 2 currently.

  46. Patty says

    Shows…Friends and West Wing! And we especially love The Repair Shoppe on Netflix, but the BBC has only released 2 seasons so far of their 8 to the US. So sad,

  47. Maria says

    Schitts Creek is genius!!!!

    Have you watched Dead to Me on Netflix with Christina Applegate? That’s a good one. Season 2 will be out next month.

    I stumbled upon AJ & The Queen with RuPaul. It’s actually quite funny.

    Big Bang Theory is my all time favorite. They are not on any streaming services. I’ve had to record reruns currently airing. I’m still missing a few episodes from season 3.

  48. Jessica Rodges says

    did you recognize some of the sets from Gilmore Girls… the gazeebo… some of the buildings as well.

  50. Becky Carl says

    I just binged 3 great shows this weekend:
    Dirty John – Netflix
    Virgin River – Netflix
    Big Little Lies -free stream on HBO Now for the moment
    I stayed up til 4-5 am every night because I could not quit watching.
    Other favorites:
    Good Girls
    Ozark
    Dark
    Frequency
    Nurse Jackie
    Grace and Frankie
    I Love Lucy

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      You are amazing! Thank you for this list!! Grace and Frankie is one of my faves!!

  51. grace says

    The videos are great Shay! Keep ’em coming!

    You totally should have your own show or a segment of Home&Family called “Q&A with Andrew and Shay” like your last videos.

    One series for the rest of my life- such a hard question!! Probably Gilmore Girls…but I would hate to never see The Office and childhood favorites like Full House again.

  52. Ana W says

    You have 4 kids, a business, a blog, a husband and already wake up super, super early. When/how do you have time to binge watch shows?? It’s a legit question! Lol! ?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I only binge shows while I’m doing chores (so always on my phone, never the TV). For example, I’ve already watched Hart of Dixie this morning while I emptied the dishwashers, made my bed and put my makeup on. I also always watch it while I fold laundry and then my phone rides along with me in the basket as I put it away. It’s not ideal (my mom still gets mad that I watched Game of Thrones this way and not in reverence on TV haha!), but it works!

  53. Jan says

    Do you wash your face the morning after you use the drops and then always cleanse twice a day? I’m surprised the “glow” lasts that long.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I think it lasts a solid 3 days even with me washing my face twice a day…by day four it’s fading and day five, it’s completely gone. If it starts to fade early (let’s say we’ve been swimming a lot), I just use it more frequently.

  54. Suzanne says

    You apply serum first than tanner in your moisturizer. What is the difference between serum and moisturizer?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Serums are just filled with vitamins but are not moisturizers, so I always use both.

  55. Stephanie Cahill says

    My favorite show that I watch every single night is Friends! Just makes me happy! I’ve been binging New Girl, and it’s so perfect because there are a ton of seasons and episodes, it’s light and funny, and it is basically an updated Friends 🙂 I also watched Virgin River recently, loved it! Love your blog!

  56. Jodi says

    The Becca under eye brightener… the link goes to the medium to dark shade. Do you use that one or the the more pink/peachy light to med?

  58. Heather P says

    I’m so excited to try the Isle of Paradise tanner…it’s on sale at QVC right now!

  59. Brea says

    These videos are so helpful! I love it. Maybe a skin car routine one too? Or maybe I’m the only one. Ha I love how it was all listed below as well. Might be an odd question but how do you store everything from face products to make up to hair products? I love switching up products and always come to your blog for new ideas. So insightful! Thank you!

  60. Janeen says

    That’s a hard one but I really enjoy Seinfeld!! I do like Cheers, had never watched it until last year ☺️

  61. Madison says

    Friends is my all time favorite show!!

    And for anyone new to the tanning drops, make sure you wash your hands after you put it on your face! I did not do that the first time I used it and let’s just say I’m so glad my face was not the color of my palms or we would have a problem haha

  63. Jenn says

    My favorite show of all time is The West Wing. I recently rewatched all 7 seasons and listened to The West Wing Weekly podcast after each episode. The rewatch and podcast just ended in January and it made me so sad that I’m about to start another rewatch of the show and relisten of the podcast! The show had an all star cast (love Rob Lowe and Allison Janney!) and you can’t help but fall in love with the characters. I highly recommend the podcast too, so much behind the scenes info and cast interviews.
