I’m surprised this was not on Heather’s list, so I’ll add it to mine. This was such a find in April and we are both obsessed (and know many of you are now obsessed too!). I have a few bottles and I keep one in my car, purse/diaper bag, and stroller so I can always be reapplying. The face mist is also a great option for your kids who hate putting on sunscreen on their face/neck/ears/scalp. A summer must!
I jumped on the PIQUE bandwagon and never looked back. I take the liposomal (meaning it’s better absorbed) vitamin C and elderberry packets. My second favorite product is the B•Tox Fountain Beauty Electrolyte packets and I try to take one of those daily. I also get a handful of their teas and my favorites are the green mint, ginger digestion elixir, mint herbal, black tea for digestion and metabolism, and the hibiscus beauty elixir.
I love my SkinMedica retinol and use every other night, but I love this stick because I can spot treat certain areas or just switch it up with a less intense retinol to give my skin a break if needed. It’s also great for traveling because it’s so compact.
I added these sneakers to my collection and love the look and how versatile they are. I also have these (similar to the popular New Balance sneakers) and love them as well. I’m over spending $$$ on sneakers like GG when brands like Veja have so many cute options for a fraction of the cost.

I purchased this multi-purpose SPF at the recommendation of my esthetician because it’s not just SPF.. it has other active ingredients working and benefiting my skin all day long (like antioxidants that are so important). I do my am skin routine and then lather this SPF on followed by my tinted SPF for a tiny bit of coverage. It’s not too thick, doesn’t leave a greasy residue and absorbs beautifully. I have sent it to all of my friends and told them they need it in their routine asap.
This time of year I am looking for all the shimmer and glow boosters I can get (since WA’s “sun” isn’t giving me anything). I only use this body oil when I’m going out for a date night or special event because it’s pricey (although I did find it on sale for you!). It leaves such a beautiful sparkle/glow on your skin and acts as a perfume as well. I look sun-kissed without ever stepping foot in the sun.. my kind of product.
This is my favorite leave in conditioner that I use daily. You can apply it to wet or dry hair and it smells so good you’ll want to keep putting more and more on. It helps soften, seal, detangle and fight frizz and I typically find myself putting it on my hair at night and throwing it in a loose bun to let it works its magic before showering the next day.
Hot girls cover their face from the sun – I don’t make the rules, I just follow them. With summer quickly approaching and the sun starting to peak through the clouds when I’m driving or taking a walk, the visor comes out. Once you get over the embarrassment factor (honestly, NO ONE is looking at you when you’re driving.. get over yourself), it’s really easy to rock the visor. The sun is so flipping damaging and the biggest aging factor. Also, your chest ages much faster than your face so this helps shield your décolleté, too. Anything to help us age in reverse, even a ridiculous visor. News flash, your baseball cap is DOING NOTHING. Get the visor, gf.
