Your Best Summer Ever!

Fake Bake Tanning Products

Probably the best self tanner I’ve ever used! I have super pale, sunburn and freckle prone skin, so actual tanning is not really an option for me! I adore Fake Bake products though because they give me a really natural looking tan without being orange or too brown. My go to is the (get real name) Spray since all you have to do is spray it on, let it dry (which doesn’t take long at all!) and you end up with a really nice tan. Another good one is the 60 Minute Tanning spray which you spritz on, rub in with the provided mit, then take off in an hour for an awesome tan. This is a perfect option for right after you get the kids to sleep, spritz this on, throw on a robe and get some work done, then an hour later take a relaxing shower and step out with a gorgeous glow!

This is like the perfect clothing brand for a chill, boho summer! The brand is actually inspired by looks from the 60’s and 70’s that were free flowing and feminine. What I love the most about this brand is that their clothes can fit so many different looks, like the swingy tee which you can pair with jeans, yoga pants, or even their dress extender for a cute date night look!

Lume is an awesome brand started by Paula Daza-Chenu who infuses her Columbian heritage into the styles and designs of her clothing and swimewear. Not only are the clothes and bathing suits absolutely adorable, they’re also friendly to the world. The collection is Fair Trade, which means the artisans who hand make the pieces actually get paid a fair living wage. On top of that, a percentage of the profits actually go to communities where the artisans live in order to help underprivileged children and adults around the world.

Violet Love

Violet Love is a really fun brand that focuses on inspiring people to lead a fun, happy, and healthy lifestyle by creating cute and functional headbands and bandeaus. The headbands are my favorite since they come in a million different patterns and can be used when styling your hair to go out or to hold your hair back during a workout. The bandeaus are nice too since, again, you have a ton of print options, but what really makes them great is the silicone strip hidden inside that will keep it from falling down! Plus, everything is US made and eco friendly, so you don’t have to feel too guilty about buying all of them!
