Summer Beauty Essentials

Happy Monday! Summer is upon us and I thought I would share with you some of my favorite summer essentials! When the seasons change we sometimes need to add in new products, and change up some of our routine. These are my summer beauty essentials that keep my routine fresh all summer long!

1. Gnarly Whale Strawberry Sugar Scrub – Our skin tends to dry out a bit in the summer, just as it does in the winter months so a good thing to have on hand is a good exfoliating scrub! What I love about this one is it’s completely vegan, gentle enough for you body and face since it’s made from sugar, and you can even use it for your lips!

2. Gnarly Whale Thai Coconut Beach Waves Spray – Your hair is already taking a beating in the summer from that extra sun exposure, so I like to do my best not to add on any extra heat products. An all natural, vegan friendly Beach Waves spray like this one is perfect to use on damp hair and let it air dry for a natural wavy style.

3. Maybelline Baby Lips – I love a good lip balm in the summer, and it absolutely needs to have SPF and this one is amazing. I love each and every one of them, you can go with the regular or grab one with a slight tint for a little pop of color. These are super moisturizing.

4. Wet N’ Wild ‘I Need A Refresh Mint’ Nail Polish – This is one my favorite colors for summer! You can rock it as a mani or pedi and it’ll get the job done!

5. Neutrogena Sheer Touch Sunscreen – You absolutely 100% need a good sunscreen! Please, protect your skin! This is one of my favorites because it goes on so light and dries quickly so you aren’t left with that greasy feeling and look.

6. NYC Bronzer ‘Sunny’ – You definitely need a good bronzer to ‘fake’ that summer glow and ‘sunny’ is one the best shades I have ever tried. It’s my go to bronzer, not just for summer but all year long. It’s a drugstore fave, so you can always count on it being super affordable!

7. Jergens Natural Glow – I use this as my daily moisturizer in the summer, it’s a gradual self tanner and if you grab it in the lighter of the two shades, it’s just enough to add a subtle summer glow.

8. Evian Water Facial Mist – This is a must have, all summer long! Super cool hydrating mist, helps to keep you cool whenever you need it! I keep this in my purse all the time, a little spritz helps your makeup from running if it starts to get to hot out!

9. Suave Clinical Protection Deodorant – I think this is an obvious everyday essential, am I right? I love Suave’s Clinical Protection, it works for up to 8 hours and keeps you super dry. It’s a must have!

10. Spa Sonic – Summer means you’re sweating more, so you absolutely want to have a good facial cleanser, and the Spa Sonic is quickly becoming one of my faves (review to come soon, gals)!

11. Aussie 3 Minute Moisturizer – This is the best for keeping your hair moisturized, if you’re suffering from a summer dry spell! Your hair will look and feel instantly better after just the first use! I live and die by this stuff, it’s amazing!

12. Bath & Body Works Body Spray ‘Aruba’ – This is the perfect summer scent, not to strong and just subtle enough. Something about the scent just screams summer for me.

    Love the way you designed this! I’m definitely wanting to try the wave spray- I love anything that can help my wavy hair come out like beachy waves. I also want to try out the Spa Sonic! I’ve been hearing so much about products like that one and have yet to try. An Ulta run may be in my future!

    I definitely need a good exfoliating scrub, sunscreen, lotion, bronzer, and chap stick for the summer 🙂 And I really want to try something like spa sonic – I’ve been thinking about the one from Clarisonic for a while.

    I’m also a fan of the Gnarly Whale Beach Waves spray. As a girl with hair that holds no curl and just turns into a frizzy mess if I air dry it, this stuff is a miracle. I recently took it on vacation with me. It was the first week in years I didn’t blow dry my hair, and the amount of non-frizzy body my hair had was fantastic. Maybelline’s Baby Lips are great, and so is the Aussie 3-Minute Moisturizer. For the prices, you can’t beat em.

    Jergens natural glow is essential and I love Nuetragena SPF!

    I love The Gnarly Whale’s detangler, which I originally bought for my eldest daughter, but I totally use more than her, ha.

    And thanks for the recommendation on the Aussie product, I am in utter DESPAIR for something to bring back the moisture to my heat and pool-scorched hair! And by heat I mean I live in the desert, not styling products ha ha ha.

    Found you on weekend reads!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣
⁣
“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣
⁣
While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣
⁣
Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣
⁣
Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣
⁣
So let’s #challengeaccepted that. ⁣

Would you ever say the things you say to yourself Would you ever say the things you say to yourself to another woman? ⁣
⁣
I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
8️⃣ I recently became a plant mom and it escalated quickly⁣
⠀⁣
9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣
⠀⁣
🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣
⁣
🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
