Know more here about the summer beauty essentials that I love!
Welcome to summer!
How is it quickly going by for all of you? Are you going in a million different directions in the summer?
I easily get a little overwhelmed in the summer. There are the kids, and work, and trying to have fun and be on vacation, all at the same time.
There are certain things that make my transition into summer enjoyable. I allow myself to have a lot more fun and try to keep things really simple.
We all know some of the basic summer essentials – I have a maxi dress, so many tank tops, dresses; a good strapless bra – really “must haves” for me.
I want to show you not only what the basic summer essentials are but also some of the brands that I found and absolutely adore. I did an entire research on products that my Frenchie, Indie, and New Yorker will love. So all that I’m going to show you are Elegant Femme approved!
Let’s have fun with this! Here they are:
Organic Virgin Coconut oil – Oh my gosh! I can’t live without it. We have it in every single bathroom. It’s so good to rub on your body before you go in the sun and after you get out of the sun.
Tinted moisturizer – I love looking tan during the summer but I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the sun. This is so beautiful. It comes out dark but it’s gorgeous.
I have a SURPRISE for you but I’m not going to show that to you, yet.
Coola sunscreen – I love this mango flavor organic sunscreen!
I’m really big on skin care during the summer. And there are these products that I found, that I’ve fallen in love with but are kind of new to my regimen.
FarmHouse Fresh Exfoliator – We all know that exfoliating during the summer is totally important. This is Ruby Red Grapefruit. It smells absolutely divine like you want to eat it! All farm-fresh ingredients. Beautiful! So get that dead skin off!
Pumpkin Mud Mask – I try to do a mask once a week during summer. I alternate that with an oxygenating mask, too.
Kerastase Soleil Aqua-Seal – I spray this on my really curly, frizzy hair before I get on to the beach or into the pool; and after. And it’s really good.
Jane Iredale Golden Shimmer – This really gives a pretty pink glow and is good on cellulite. I use it on the back of my knees where I’m getting spider veins.
And here a couple more things that are in my unique bag:
Woolite Wipes – I always have at least one; really important!
Gray Disappear – This is a little wand for my grays that are coming in faster!
Jan Iredale Black Cherry lip gloss – It’s really a pretty summer color that works for different skin tones.
And… the SURPRISE I wanted to show you… are jacks!
I’m out and about with my kids a lot. And any chance we get – whether we’re at a restaurant waiting in line, or at home right before we’re about to go to be, we play jacks! It’s fun!
So jacks. I invite you to put jacks inside your summer essential bag.
