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!

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!

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
