Protecting My Skin in Summer

Hi lover! One thing I love about summer is how laid back I feel. My go to drink consists of something fruity and delicious, while my wardrobe is also light and airy. With all these simple delights, I also like to go minimal on my makeup. Most days I go totally bare face, causing me to want to take extra great care of my skin.

The products above are my favorite sun protectors for the moment. I have dry-combination skin so I like to always find hydrating products. In case you want to shop a variety of skincare products, geared for all skin types, check out the HSN website.

I strongly believe in the importance of always wearing sunscreen. For my everyday routine, I only apply SPF on my face, arms (unless I am wearing a long sleeve top) and hands. For a day in the sun, I will apply all over and make sure to reapply every 2-3 hours. If I want to get a darker tan, I will apply the Dark Tanning Accelerator over my sunscreen. You can easily incorporate sunscreen to your daily moisturizer for both face and body.

In addition to my sunscreen, I like to protect with a hat and sunglasses. Hats have become such a trendy fashion piece that it is easy to find them at low prices. My 2 favorite styles are over-sized, floppy hats and fedoras. I also recommend keeping your wrist jewelery to a minimum, so you don’t get an uneven tan. This cotton tunic is so soft and refreshing for the Miami heat.

My last important tip for protecting your skin is to stay hydrated all day! As much as I love my fruity drink, water is absolutely necessary.

I hope you all enjoy the last few weeks of summer. Thank you for stopping by!

Hey lover! August is definitely the hottest month here in Miami. Most days the heat is so strong that you can’t stand outside without breaking a sweat. If it is not super hot, there is most likely a brief thunder storm and I totally love those!!

With all this weather, it’s necessary to wear thin, airy fabrics to reduce sweating more. I found this dress 2 weeks ago and loved how it was a size bigger than my usual and the material was very lightweight. Whenever you have an oversized piece, a great tip is to use a belt to recreate your figure.

I also love the way nude sandals elongate your legs. This trick is a favorite of mine year round. I hope you all have an amazing day! Thank you for stopping by today.

New Hair Products

From left to right:

1. Pantene Clarifying Shampoo

2. Batiste Dry Shampoo – dark & deep brown

3. L’oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray – extra strong hold

4. Marc Anthony Beach Spray

Happy Friday lovers! Here are four new hair products I’ve been using lately and have a few thoughts to share with you 🙂

1. I’ve been hearing more about clarifying shampoos and how they are great to wash out chlorine found in swimming pools, build up product residue, and if you are exposed to hard water. I wanted to test this product out to see what reaction my hair experienced. After using it once a week for the last month, I can attest that it leaves my scalp squeaky clean, no residue at all! I have really enjoyed it and recommended it to one of my best friends and she loved it too.

2. I have tried dry shampoos before and disliked most of them because of the white cast they leave on my dark hair. This Batiste one is tinted brown and definitely a winner for me!! It smells delicious, absorbs excess oils, and gives the perfect amount of texture.

3. I am on the search for a great and reasonably priced hairspray. I tried the Elnett Satin extra strong hold and it is just that. I would say it is perfect for a slicked back up do, pony tail, or bun. However, any time I use it to hold my curls, it leaves my hair extremely crunchy. For this reason, I will not repurchase it.

4. This deluxe sample of the Marc Anthony beach spray is great! I received it in one of my Ipsy bags and it gives my hair wavy texture. It smells of coconut and the beach, perfect for the summer time.

If you have used any of these products, let me know what you think! Also if you have any new hair products that you are totally loving, please share them in the comments.

Have a great weekend loveys :)!

Love Shoes 04

Hi lover! Today I present my newest pair of Love Shoes. The cognac heel is a classic pair year round, yet I love the subtle gold accent. These make for the perfect shoe to dress up for a party or dress down with jeans.

I wore this outfit to work yesterday. Although jeans are not typically considered dress code for my office job, the bosses are out of town, so we have more casual days. I really loved how the jeans were the only low key piece. The floral pattern on the blouse is a favorite of mine because I love roses!

Fun fact: my last post for Love Shoes was actually super similar to today’s pair. Same brand, almost same color, and most importantly- perfect classic shoe. The obvious difference is in the style of the shoe, but nevertheless I am lucky to have been gifted today’s pair!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

PS: Please excuse the un-even cuffed jeans (ha ha!!) I totally did not notice until I saw the pictures.

Hi my love! It feels so good to be back to our regular posts! So much has been going on that it will be hard to catch up, but let’s rewind to the day of this outfit…

These pictures were taken 2 Saturday’s ago, Bob and I were so excited to be shooting at a new location! 🙂 However, right after these pictures, my car would not turn on and we had to push my car (about 5 blocks) all the way home. At that point we both started laughing at the situation. 😉 It was quite the sight to see myself helping Bob, push the car in this outfit, but it was nice to feel helpful.

Aside from that unfortunate event, I absolutely love this dress! The style is so flattering and comfy, if only I could buy this same exact dress in different colors and patterns, I totally would!

I hope you all have an amazing week!
