My Summer Favorites



YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Summer is here and kickin'!!!
Just wanted to quickly share some of my very favorite products that I haven't been able to live without this summer...

1) Aussie's "Aussome Volume" hairspray

I don't use hairspray often, but during the summer i use a bit to maintain beachy waves! This hairspray has become a favorite of mine- it doesn't get crunchy and it smells DELISH.

2) Secret gel deodorant in "Passion de Tango"

OH MY GOSH. My armpits have never smelt so good. My sister converted me to the gel kind of deodorant- at first i was a bit skeptical about it... And then i tried it- it goes on clear, and lasts waaay longer than the normal deodorant!! I seriously LOVE this stuff.

3) "Malibu Heat" body splash 

I almost cried tears of joy when Bath and Body Works brought this scent back! I swear- they always discontinue my faves! BUT NOT THIS TIME KIDS. I wear this on a daily basis. It smells so summery! And it reminds me of when I got to go to Maui last summer. I wore it the entire time I was there :)

4) Revlon Photoready foundation

I owned this foundation a couple years ago, but never replaced it when I ran out. I remembered loving it, so i recently got it again! GOOD THING I DID because it rocks! It gives me just the right coverage while still looking super natural. Also, it gives a nice dewy finish! (sometimes a bit too dewy for me, so i put a bit of powder on top so i don't glisten so much when the weather is hot haha ;))

5) "Pure Paradise" Beach Waves hair mist

Ever since I lived in Hawaii I LOVED what the ocean did to my hair. I got such effortless waves all the time! Unfortunately, Im not near the ocean right now, but this product gets my hair pretty close to those salty waves! You can find this at Bath and Body Works- I love what it does and I love what it smells like! It gives great texture and volume. I think I'll buy like 50 of em' and stock up before summer ends :)

Let me know what your favorite summer products are in the comments!

I'd love to hear from you guys ;))

Good Reads: "Relish" by Daphne Oz




I picked up this book a couple weeks ago at Target-
I'll be honest, I've never actually watched The Chew before (I'm not much of a TV person), but after flipping through the pages i was convinced to buy it!

Daphne's book is centered around food, with awesome recipes for all occasions. In addition, she gives beauty and health tips, travel musts, tells you how to be a homemaker or a great hostess, gives advice on how to live your life to the fullest, and so much more.

I had so much fun reading it- I LOVE books like this.

Anyways, I highly recommend it!!

You can buy it here on Amazon :)

I hope you love it as much as I do!!

Officially Obsessed: X-tend Barre Workout


Ok Kids.
I'll be honest, Im not the best about staying fit.
It's always been something that i didn't prioritize.
It's hard to motivate yourself to work out!
And then this came along.
X-tend Barre.
(or X Barre for short)
X Barre combines both dance and pilates
(two of my very favorite things)
into a vigorous workout.
Its hard- but so fun at the same time!
I love going to a class rather than trying to be your own trainer.
I find it to be much more motivating!
I'm excited to exercise now, which is weird.
But I'd definitely recommend this!
Check out the website and find a studio near you!!
