The Beauty Edit: Beat The Heat

August 6, 2016

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx on behalf of Single Edition Media, all opinions are my own.

It’s basically a bazillion degrees out. Every single day it just gets hotter and hotter. I have an arsenal of beauty products that help me beat the heat. The temperatures continue to rise and these products will help you chill out.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mineral Water Gel Moisturizer

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mineral Water Gel Moisturizer  //  I’ve never been to a french volcano, but if this is what’s inside, sign me up. This is a fortifying 48 Hour hydrating fresh water gel moisturizer with hyaluronic acid that is perfection for the summer. My skin tends to take a beating from the sun and I love using this. It’s super lightweight and oil-free, my skin is left moisturized and glowing. It’s cooling and dries perfectly without leaving you sticky. 

  • Mineralizing Thermal Water: Strengthens skin against external aggressors
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Able to retain up to 1000 times its weight in water leaving the skin plumped with moisture.
  • Aquabioryl: Acts more deeply in the epidermis for a long-lasting hydrating and soothing effect.
  • Y-Carrageenans: Reinforces skin barrier, locks in hydration hour after hour and smoothes the skin’s surface.

You can use this day and night, applied to dry and cleansed skin. Just a small amount will do and you’ll be good to go. This is perfect for normal to combination skin.

  • 20% off + Free Shipping. Must enter promotion code: BABBLE at checkout. Offer valid through 11:59pm PST, 08/15/2016. Offer cannot be combined with other discounts or gift sets. Grab it HERE.

Nad’s Exfoliating Body Wax Strips

Nad’s Exfoliating Body Wax Strips  //  Let me just tell you, I hate hair. I hate shaving. I hate it all. These strips are my jam. Especially because they’re not painful, no cringing and no wincing with these. Harnessing Nad’s patented Xfol™ technology, these unique strips contain an exfoliator on the outside and wax on the inside to deliver the smoothest hair-free results with each use. I’m always in shock that you can do this at home. Its coarse outer surface buffs away buildup of dead skin cells and releases trapped ingrown hair, allowing the premium wax on the inside to adhere and remove even more hair for the best possible results at home.

Used weekly, the Nad’s Exfoliating Wax Strips’ powerful exfoliating properties helps to minimize and prevent the occurrence of pesky ingrown hairs while also keeping skin feeling smooth, hairless and glowing

If you’re on the lookout for hair removal, give this a try! Check it out here.

Butter™ London Lost In Leisure Lacquer Set

Butter™ London Lost In Leisure Lacquer Set  //  Is this not the cutest limited edition set you ever did see? When I think of summer shades, these are what come to mind. It’s basically like a mini vacation when this collection lands on your doorstep. Sip on a fruity cocktail and pick a color or use them all!

  • High shine finish with chip resistant wear
  • Contains Hydrolyzed Silk, Horsetail Extract, Vitamins B, C, and E

They’re perfect for your next mani or pedi and will last you through a week long vacay!

  • 20% off your first purchase at butterlondon.com with code: BabbleBoxx2016

LaCroix Cúrate Melón Pomelo

LaCroix Cúrate Melón Pomelo  //  Let me just tell you, I’ve been trying to drink at least 100 ounces of water a day and it is BORING. I’m a fan of soda and have basically cut it out of my life but I needed a replacement. LaCroix is my jam. LaCroix Cúrate flavors are inspired by two cultures: French & Spanish. The two I’ve tried are delicious and they’re on the shopping list! 

  • Sparkling, not a Flat Hydration source
  • Ideal alternative to colas and diet colas
  • 100% natural (0 sodium, 0 sugars/sweeteners, 0 caffeine, 0 calories/fat)

You can find out more about them here.

Tempting by Sofia Vergara

Tempting by Sofia Vergara  //  My favorite part of summer is fragrances. I love a super fresh and fruit scent and this embodies both. The fragrance encompasses juicy exotic fruits, bold floral accents, and vibrant wood notes. Tempting by Sofia Vergara is addictive and flirtatious with effortless femininity.

  • Bonus Tip: When applying to your pulse points, spritz on each wrist but don’t rub them together, let it air dry. Fabulous. 

The 1 oz. fragrance is currently available exclusively at Perfumania online and in stores. The 3.4 oz. (as well as the 1 oz.) will hit major retailers nationwide in September.

“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⁣
