    Clear Skin and Summer Sun: How to

    As the summer sun burns brighter, we have to make sure our skin is protected and glowy. The not-so-secret secret is sunscreen. A good sunscreen will do everything your skin needs in one go. To make sure all my girls are protected and glowy this summer, I’m going to be sharing my favorite sunscreen I’ve tried for the face so far.

    What is it and Why?

    As a combination skin girl with an insanely oily t-zone and super dry rest of the face, I have struggled in finding a sunscreen that works for my face. In addition to that combination, my skin is extremely sensitive and pretty much anything breaks me out. After trying the La Roche Posay Fluid Facial Sunscreen (specifically SPF 60), I was surprised to find that it not only did not break me out, but also helped clear up my skin

    What are the Benefits?

    This is one of the rare sunscreens that is oil free as well as scent free, meaning it is super safe for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin. Personally, I am a huge swimmer and love to be out in the sun swimming on day, so reapplying sunscreen and making sure it is strong enough to protect from sun damage is a difficult task. This is why I really enjoy this brand’s sunscreen that is spf 60. It is water resistant and protects skin for up to 80 minutes, impressive I know, which allows for fewer reapplications. I also found that it is oxybenzone free, an organic compound found in many sunscreens that acts as a hormone disrupter and allergen and is known to irritate skin. Because this product lacks so many of the chemicals that are terrible for our skin, I find that it has actually helped to clear up my skin and reduce redness.

    What’s Application Like?

    The specific sunscreen that I use and like is not tinted, meaning it comes in a white color; however, when applied to the skin, it blends right in and does not leave a white cast. This brand does have the same sunscreen in a tinted version as well that you can look into, I just have not tried that version myself. The sunscreen itself is a liquidy formula that is soft and sinks right into the skin, leaving you with glowy and supple skin.

    Final Thoughts

    Sunscreen is so important to wear, especially in the summer sun and heat. A good sunscreen should offer protection from the sun, but also protect your skin from harmful chemicals. I have found that this sunscreen works exceptionally in doing all that and more, and if it has worked for my incredibly difficult skin, I believe it will work for yours too. Please make sure you take care of your beautiful faces and let me know if you end up trying this product!

    How to: Bronzed Summer Glow

    The images used in this blog do not belong to me

    Summer is here and everyone is ready to get out under the sun and get that summer tan; however, we have to make sure that we keep it hydrated, healthy, and glowy. That’s why I have a summer product to share that is going to aid in gaining that summer bronzy glow!

    Trends change throughout the years, but what always remains is a natural, healthy, bronzed glow. Some of us are more gifted naturally than others, having the ability and means to tan instantly without burns. Others of us need the little extra help just a bit more, hence why I have an amazing product for you all that makes the entire tanning process incredibly easy.

    What is it?

    The secret to a healthy, bronzed, glow in the summer is the Australian Gold Bronzing Intensifier Dry Oil. Wow, that’s a mouthful. Although I love the Australian Gold brand intensely, this is my favorite tanning product they sell. I currently have 2 bottles of these in my closet waiting to be used up after I finish my current bottle.

    Why This Product?

    You may be wondering, why this product specifically? This is a multifaceted question, and I have a few answers. My favorite things about this product is that it allows for: an easy tan without burns, an instant bronze color, a healthy glow, and extra hydration. Staying under the sun for long periods of time can prove to be incredibly dangerous, hence why a hydrating and protective tanning oil makes the largest difference in a routine. This tanning oil also contains carrot oil which assists in the quick tanning and aloe vera which aids in the hydration and protection of the sun because skin cancer is the last thing any of us would like to get.

    Aesthetic

    Aside the physical benefits, I love for my products to be aesthetic. Whether it is on look, smell, or feel, an aesthetic product will always have a person hooked. For me, this product has the most delicious scent. Think vacationing in the Bahamas on a private beach with a bowl of fruit when an ocean breeze blows by. That is exactly what this product smells like. Also, it just feels incredibly luxurious and soft, not sticky or greasy feeling, for a relatively convenient price point!

    Additional Benefits

    This tanning oil comes in a super easy to use spray bottle, something I find lacking in a lot of tanning products that I have tried. I have gone through too many tanning products to count, all because I love summer and love getting tan, but this product has been the most gentle on my skin thus far. With additives such as tea tree oil, my skin feels hydrated and almost cleansed. I have not had a problem thus far with this product breaking my skin out, so I can attest to the efficiency of these oils in the product. I’ve also found that the walnut and cocoa oil in this product speeds up the tanning process noticeably, and the less I have to bake in the sun for some color, the better I find it.

    Final Thoughts!

    If you want an easy, healthy, bronzed glow for the summer, this tanning oil will do that plus more for you. It doesn’t have many of the harmful chemicals that other tanning oils are known to have, but shares the most wanted benefits we all search for. Definitely give this product a try and if you do, please let me know how you enjoy it!

With this shampoo being plant-based and formulated by people who know their stuff, I can use it with a clear conscience.

    Cozy Chic Comfort: The Perfect Hoodie For You

    Let’s talk about the ultimate comfort essential: the oversized hoodie. Whether you’re lounging at home, running errands, or meeting up with friends for a casual hangout, this wardrobe staple sticks through it with you. Join me as we dive into the cozy world of oversized hoodies and why they’re a must-have for both men and women.

    Comfort at its Best

    There’s nothing quite like slipping into an oversized hoodie and feeling instantly enveloped in warmth and softness. Made from cozy materials like fleece and cotton blends, these hoodies are like a warm hug on a chilly day. The relaxed fit and roomy design make them perfect for lounging around the house or layering up for outdoor adventures. Because of their soft, plush lining inside, they make for a perfect hoodie that keeps you warm without needing more layers underneath.

    Versatile Style

    One of the best things about oversized hoodies is their versatility. With a wide range of colors and designs to choose from, you can easily find one that suits your personal style. Pair it with leggings and leg warmers for a cute and cozy look that’s perfect for a day of running errands or chilling at home. Add a pair of cute sneakers or mini uggs, and you’ll have that aesthetic influencer look we’re constantly seeing on tik tok. For these specific hoodies a size M was just slightly oversized for me. As a reference, I’m usually a size S or M in tops and hoodies. If you wanted a super oversized look that pairs well with cargos and streetwear, I would recommend sizing up 2 sizes instead.

    Quality Touch

    When it comes to oversized hoodies, quality is key. Look for hoodies made from durable materials that can withstand frequent wear and washing without losing their shape or softness. Pay attention to details like stitching and construction to ensure that your hoodie will stand the test of time and keep you cozy for seasons to come. For me personally, these specific hoodies had the softest touch and are still upholding their quality today, hence why I recommend them so much. I have the color Dark Grey as pictured on the right, but there are so many colors to choose from.

    Whether you’re a fan of loungewear or just love the laid-back vibe of oversized hoodies, there’s no denying their appeal. From their unbeatable comfort to their effortless style, oversized hoodies are the perfect addition to any wardrobe. So why not treat yourself to one – or two, or three? After all, you can never have too much coziness and color in your life.

    Pretty in Pink: Why this Gym Bag is My New Favorite

    My Go to Bag!

    Hello to all the girls! Today, I wanna chat about something that’s been a game-changer for my gym/overall routine: a pink gym bag that’s as cute as it is functional. Let’s dive in and talk about why this bag has become my go-to for all things workout-related, travel and day to day.

    A Splash of Color + Comfort

    First things first, can we talk about the color? Pink just screams fun and aesthetic, right? This bag adds a pop of personality to my gym gear, and it’s a real mood booster. Plus, who doesn’t love a bit of pink in their life? But, there’s also the issue of comfort, so here’s the deal – comfort is key when you’re lugging your gym stuff around. This bag has adjustable straps and padded handles, making it a breeze to carry. No more awkward juggling or sore shoulders after a tough workout session, everything is compact and organized.

    Versatility for Ages

    What I love most about this bag is how versatile it is. With its multiple compartments and pockets, it’s not just for gym gear – it’s perfect for throwing in my essentials when I’m on the go, keeping it in my trunk for emergencies, and get this- even for travel. And let’s not forget the shoe compartment – total game-changer for keeping things organized and fresh! Because of its sleeve in the back, it can slide onto your luggage handle with no problem, which personally makes my life so much easier in airports.

    Built to Last

    Quality matters, right? This bag is all about durability. It’s made from tough materials and has reinforced stitching, so I know it can handle whatever I throw at it – literally. Whether I’m hitting the gym, heading out for a weekend trip, or just running errands, this bag is up for the challenge. I’ve put it through quite a long testing period myself, as I ordered this bag in the pink color way back in June of 2023, and so far, its lasted in perfect condition. I will say, the separate toiletry bag has truly saved me from spills of hair or skin products in my bag, something I appreciate at the gym and when traveling.

    Final Thoughts

    If you’re on the hunt for a gym bag that’s cute, comfy, and seriously practical, look no further. This pink beauty has it all! It’s become my go-to for staying organized and stylish on the move, and I couldn’t be happier with it. So go ahead, treat yourself to a bit of pink perfection – you won’t regret it!
