Summer Essentials

So it may not be "officially" summer YET... but it sure does feel like it! So here are my top 7 SUMMER ESSENTIALS:

1. Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion - I use this stuff for my sensitive face. I'm just going to have to accept the fact that my face will never actually tan. It is either pale or burnt, no in-betweeny. But Aveeno does a good job of giving a good feel of facial sunblock and not being greasy. Plus, it comes in lots of different SPF's. I usually use 30 or 45 for my face.

2. Hats - Any time I go to the beach, I usually throw on a cute hat/ballcap just because I am definitely not one of those girls that can style their hair in a cute way before they head out to the beach and have it stay that way. Mine just looks ridiculous. So...ponytail+hat=good beach hair day. Plus it looks fun & sporty if done the right way!

3. OPI Nail Laquer - I love most any OPI nail polish, but I am OB-SESSED with this new shade I picked up at Merle Norman last week. It is called "Let Me Entertain You." It's a really kind of weird-ish color because it changes colors/tones depending on the way you look at it. I love the glitter/shimmer in it! I have it on my tootsies right now :) Looks yummy in the sun!

4. Luxiva Lasting Foundation by Merle Norman - This was actually a product my mom had bought but didn't like, but I absolutely LOVE it. It does what the name says: LASTS. Ty and I workout together 5x/week and I use this most days we work out. Let me tell you, I am a VERY heavy sweater, and this stuff stays put! Plus it has SPF 12!

5. Wedges - I have been wearing some fabulous nude wedges to work the past couple days & it just makes me feel fresh & summery. These aren't exactly like mine, but Tommy Hilfiger's version is cute! I like having the nude color because it goes with most everything. Although I do have some delicious black ones as well :)

6. Popsicles - Yum-o! I love these sugar-free tropical ones...15 calories per popsicle! Perfect for summer.

7. Books!!!! - What's summer without a reading list?! I just finished this great chick lit novel by Sophie Kinsella and it is just a fun, light summer read! Loved it
