I don’t know about where you live, but here in the South, this summer has been HOT. As a Mom of two young boys, we are outside ALL THE TIME. Meeting friends at parks, swimming in the pool, or just playing at home in the yard; we are out there. To survive the heat of the summer, I have relied heavily on a handful of beauty products, adopted a new favorite wellness habit, and have utilized & worn several select items on the daily.

Beauty

Hydration is key in the summer months, especially if you’re out in the sun often, your skin starts feeling it too!

• Timeless 100% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum– Loving this hydrating serum. Instantly hydrates & plumps my skin. I have been using this morning & night!
• Timeless 100% Pure Squalane Oil– My current favorite facial oil. Anti-bacterial to help keep breakouts at bay & gives my skin a nice healthy glow that’s perfect for summer.

Simple, quick, natural makeup is my go-to for the summertime. Also, everyone looks better with a tan & I am not ashamed to say that I fake mine!

• Versed Lip Blush– I have this lip in shade “reserve”. It is so good. Gives a natural matte finish rather than shiny/sticky, which I prefer in the summertime.
• Merit Highlighting Balm– Gives the perfect looking glow to the skin without being shimmery.
• Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Mousse– The best non-toxic self-tanning mousse I have tried. Don’t love the scent, but after you rinse it off the next morning, it’s not as strong. Love how natural looking the tan is.
• Bask Mineral SPF Sunscreen Spray– Silkiest SPF Sunscreen spray I have tried. I love this for park dates and reapplication for the whole fam!

Wellness

• Green Juice (made at home)- I am obsessed with this at home green juice! I drink it every single morning on an empty stomach & I swear it has boosted my energy, helped my skin stay clear & makes the AM bathroom trip happen (without coffee!!! IKYK)

• Just Ingredients Raspberry Lemonade Electrolyte Powder– My go-to electrolyte powder right now. Tastes like a sweet treat without the excess sugar of a typical lemonade. This beats Chick-Fil-A lemonade any day & you can find this at your local Target!

Style & Accessories

• USA Hat- Fun trucker hat I snagged at Tjmaxx for the summer
• Pool Bag– An Amazon fave! Has so many pockets on the front & on the inside; this bag can carry EVERYTHING!
• Swim Skort– The ultimate “Mom suit”- hides the bum & easy to play in. Super comfy too!
• Breathable Gauze Button Down Shirt– I live in this shirt. If I am bopping around town and want to protect my arms from the sun, this is my go-to. Breathable & comfy.
• Reef Sandals– Love love love my reefs. I wear them to any water activities we are doing like the pool or splash pad.
• Mosquito Repellent Bracelets (safe for the whole family)- My 4-year-old thinks these are cool “bracelets”; little does he know they are keeping the bugs away too. I toss several of these in my bag just in case the mosquitos are out wherever we are.
• Boat & Tote Bag– The ultimate carry-all bag. Love the size, it’s lightweight & literally shocks me every time how many things I can fit into it.

Wishing you good vibes for the rest of the season. Drop a comment below with any of your current summer faves; I would love to know!
