My Drink of Choice for Summer

There's nothing I love more during this season than relaxing on a nice patio enjoying a chilled glass of rosé. It’s crisp, light, and refreshing, especially during these hot summer days. Recognized for their black bow on the label (you know I love good branding), Chloe Wine Collection introduced its Central Coast Rosé nationwide in 2017. This wine is light and crisp, which is how I always prefer my rosé, and it offers delicate notes of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon.

Medium Coverage Makeup Routine

The time for sun-kissed skin is here! And there's nothing prettier than a fresh, glowing complexion. In the summer, I take the less is more approach. However, being someone who does struggle with breakouts and uneven skin tone, I do need some coverage. My skincare always takes priority, but in the summer, I focus more on keeping my skin balanced, clear and continue to use my SPF (this spray is amazing). I'll share more about my skincare routine later, but for today, let's talk summer makeup. Oh and be sure to check out my Instagram Stories for a video on how I use these products! I'll be adding it to my highlights once it expires in case you miss it.  ...
