Summer Beauty Products


During the summer months I don't like to spend much time getting myself ready for the day, and prefer for products to be light and easy to apply. As far as skincare goes, I consistently use the Arbonne Age Well collection. These products are my "ride or die" products and I've used them faithfully for the last 5 years. When it comes to makeup and body care, I really like to switch things up for the seasons and try new products. These are some of my favorites lately!

#1: SuperGoop! Mineral Sheerscreen Sunscreen



Year round I wear a sunscreen on my face that's in my Arbonne Age Well Day Cream, but during the summer I like to add another layer of protection. My dermatologist recommended a mineral sunscreen and I really like this one! It goes on very smoothly, has a SPF of 30 and doesn't leave a white residue. I add a drop the size of a blueberry to my palm, and mix it with...

#2: Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti Pollution Bronzing Drops with Peptides



I was super intrigued in this product when I saw it at Sephora. I add just one drop to my palm (alongside my sunscreen) and swirl it around. The result is a bronze-y sunscreen with just a little bit of coverage. It's PERFECT for the summer months! If I don't have anything special going on, the two above products are my "make-up for the day." 

#3: fresh Sugar Hydrating Lip Balm 



I am constantly putting some sort of lip balm on my lips and found this one with some yummy summer flavors. Typically at night I'll slather on the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, but swapped it out for this product for summer. I find this lip balm to be a lot more sheer and not sticky at all. If you have very chapped lips you may need something a bit more thick. I have both the watermelon and coconut flavored balms, and have also found that this product is also nice when rubbed into your cuticles. :) 

#4 Kopari Tropical Coconut Melt 


To be completely honest, I was very doubtful that I'd enjoy this product. I saw it in a store and tried it and it felt super sticky on my hands.  Remember, this is a 100% organic coconut oil product. Once I saw the Tropical scented version online I wanted to give it another try. I'm the biggest fan now! I think there are a few keys to loving this product: 1. Apply after taking a bath or shower, and don't apply to completely dry skin. If your skin is just slightly damp this product will absorb into your skin even better. 2. Scoop some of the product into your hand and rub it between your hands to warm it up. The coconut oil gets changed into the liquid form and will hydrate your skin so much! I only like to use this product in the evening, when I can take a bit more time to massage it into my skin. The tropical scent is an added bonus; I smell like a pina colada! 

I'd love to hear about any summer beauty products you utilize!

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!
