Oh sweet Summer! Most of you know that I am a full time teacher to 22 1st graders and I blog in my free time and at night. Both keep me very busy, but it’s a hobby that I truly enjoy! With that being said, I am doing a little happy dance this morning while sipping my coffee and catching up on the Bachelorette as I fully enjoy my first day of Summer Break!
When I think of Summer, a few things come to mind. No school (duh!), vacations, and my favorite products that I always have on hand. Today, I will share with you some of those Summer “must haves” that get me through the season.
With the Dallas heat and humidity, my hair can be a hot mess. I have to use product in order to keep it smooth and hydrated. The Dry Bar 100 Proof Treatment Oil is a life savor. I have thick hair, but it can also be used to fine (just use a pea size amount). It can be used on wet hair before blowdrying, or on dry hair to help smooth and add shine. I use it on “next day hair” and just run a tiny amount through my ends. The smell is great and it makes my hair look freshly washed and styled. Summer is all about colors but sometimes I love the soft “chalky” nail polishes against my tanned skin. Essie is my favorite brand for polishes. I love the way the colors go on and I find this brand to stay on longer than any others that I’ve tried. The two colors I love for Summer are Sugar Daddy (on my nails now) and Rock The Boat. Both are perfect for Summer and give a clean polished look. For the lips, I am loving the soft pinks. Don’t get me wrong, I love a bright lip too, but for day-to-day a soft lip looks best. NARS always has the best in makeup and it’s no surprise that I feel in love with their lipgloss. This color is Turkish Delight and it is a great sheer pink. I wear it alone (seen here) or layered with a brighter color (seen here mixed with MAC Pink Poodle). This Dior Lip Glow is something I keep with me at all times. It has SPF 10 and keeps my lips super soft. For the legs, I love using this oldie but a goodie Leg Shine by Michael Kors. Seriously, one of my go to faves for Summer. This guy comes with me on every vacation because it adds just the right amount of shine and a hint of shimmer on my legs. Love love love this! And of course, every girl has got to have a pair of great earrings right? Well these sparkly beauties are from Accessory Jane and I am obsessed because they are so lightweight. They look heavy…but trust me they aren’t! Be sure to like Accessory Jane on Facebook and get access to all of her sales and promos!

I’ve seen a lot of the 100 proof oil this summer. I might have to try it! I have fine hair, but a TON of it, and it loves the frizz.
Absolutely love Dior LipGlow! I purchased it as a Valentine’s Day gift to myself and so many people have asked me about what lip color I wear!
Thanks for sharing! I will definitely have to try out these products!
Those earrings though!
