There's a grassroots movement in tiny homes these days. The real estate collapse, the economic downturn, burning out on 12-hour workdays - many people are rethinking their ideas about shelter - seeking an alternative to high rents, or a lifelong mortgage debt to a bank on an overpriced home. Homes on land, homes on wheels, homes on the road, homes on water, even homes in the trees. There are also studios, saunas, garden sheds, and greenhouses.

There are 1,300 photos, showing a rich variety of small homemade shelters, and there are stories (and thoughts and inspirations) of the owner-builders who are on the forefront of this new trend in downsizing and self-sufficiency. You can buy a ready-made tiny home, build your own, get a kit or pre-fab, or live in a bus, houseboat, or other movable shelter. Some cities have special ordinances for building "in-law" or "granny flats" in the back yard. There are innovative solutions in cities, such as the "capsules" in Tokyo.

If you're thinking of scaling back, you'll find plenty of inspiration shown by builders, designers, architects, dreamers, artists, road gypsies, and water dwellers who've achieved a measure of freedom and independence by taking shelter into their own hands.

The smell.
It really does smell like coffee. Contrary to some of the comments, the coffee smell doesn't go away right away. Waiting to see the results.

Natural tan /no orangy hands!
Mine came with the lotion, applicator mitt, and a facial can mist. I haven't used the facial mist yet but here are my observations for the lotion: PROS - finish color looked very natural. Not orange at all. - no streaks / dark patches / missed spots (of course this has to do with the application as much as the product) - can build darker tan with multiple applications - did not transfer onto my clothing - the "self-tan lotion"scent was present but not terrible CONS - slight self tanner smell - made my scars look darker (not a product defect, my scars get darker from the sun too. Just mentioning in case someone has severe scarring /discoloration/ vitiligo to be mindful. First application I would say do full body. And maybe afterward learn to work around your darker skin spots. I didn't use the mitt for application, but it's nice and soft and comfortable. I used disposable cheapy medical gloves because I felt like I may not get good enough control and might leave streaks with the mitt. (With practice though, I will definitely use it because it feels nice and soft.)

Works great
Color: Medium Glow
This works great and darkens skin to a beautiful light tan but does somewhat wash off the next day so it does require reapplying the next day. I would purchase this again.
