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...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
