Summer Essentials

Thursday, July 3, 2014

Summer is BY FAR my favorite season
(except for fall because it's my birthday season; yes I celebrate for a full season)

I've noticed that when summer comes, I completely change up my skincare and body routine
keeping my makeup and hair routine minimal
In the Midwest it is HUMID, beyond anything I can humanly handle on the day to day
my hair is instantly wet and my makeup instantly runs off
(sexy huh?)
Listed below are my MUST HAVES for summer to ensure you look and feel your best 
(humidity or not)


This stuff SAVES me during the summer
I always take showers at night, sleep with my hair up in a top knot, if it's still a bit damp in the morning I will dry it a tad and then I spray this all over and scruntch
PERFECT BEACH WAVES
(it smells amazinggggggg too)

2. The perfect summer shorts
Every person needs that go to pair of shorts that they can wear with EVERYTHING
These are it for me


OneTeaspoon

3. Million Dollar Tan 
 

Working in the medical field I am hugely against tanning beds 
(to each his own, I don't hate on people that lightbulb it up)
I still want to be bronzed in summer and look like I have time to actually lay out
This stuff... I can't say enough good things about
Easy to apply, doesn't streak, and last for about 1-2 weeks
Winter or summer this is a must have!

4. Josie Maren Illuminizer 


I just recently snagged this stuff and will never stop using it
It gives you the perfect natural summertime glow, perfect for a date night or everyday wear
Use it on your cheek bones, under your eyes, or on your body for that "just got back from vacation" look
(Truth: the first day I used this, Nic asked if I had laid out all day. Josie for the WIN)

5. Ray Bans 

Need I say more?? 
These are a must for ANY season
They are so effortless and allow your outfit to just go to that next level
LOVE. Always.

5. Statement Necklaces
 
I have been SUPER into wearing basically all basics
That has the potentially to be pretty bland
With the perfect statement necklace you can take your outfit to the next level in seconds
Day or night 
I get the majority of mine from jCrew 

6. New Balance '420' Sneaker  
 
Nic and I love walking downtown and exploring Chicago
It's so hard to find a cute sneaker to go with your outfit without looking like a tourist
Well... I found them!!
These are the MOST comfortable shoes (possibly) ever
I can walk all day and they can go with a number of outfits
Thank you, New Balance 
(who would've thought?!!)

Hope everyone is enjoying every second of their summer!!!
