Summer Beauty

July 15, 2020

It’s getting hot out there and it’s time for cotton dresses, flip flops and wide-brimmed hats. Summer means shedding a few layers and showing some skin. But it’s important to keep that skin, as well as your hair, protected from the sun.

Summer Beauty

I’ve rounded up my favorite skincare, beauty and haircare products that are sure to keep your body protected and hydrated all summer long. Instead of sweating, you’ll glow!

Skincare

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Day Cream SPF 23

This product was suggested to me during a hydrafacial at Sephora and I’ve been using it ever since. The scent and texture are luxurious, it just glides onto the skin.

Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++

I treat this like a primer. This cream is light and it serves as the perfect canvas for a flawless summer face.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

The Beauty Elixir from Caudalie is one of my favorite beauty products. Period. I have several bottles all over my house and I always keep a small bottle in my purse. It is so refreshing. Pro tip: Use it during and after a flight. You can thank me later.

Haircare

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat & UV Protective Primer

You protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, why not protect your hair? I find that when I consistently use this spray before I heat style my hair my color lasts longer.

Ouai Texturizing Hairspray

This spray is light enough that it doesn’t weigh down your hair or make it crunchy. It provides just enough hold for those beachy waves.

Bumble And Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil UV Protective Dry Oil Finishing Spray

Finish your look off with this luxurious spray which not only protects your hair, it gives it a summery sheen.

FRESH Sugar Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 15

This is a product that I keep coming back to. It keeps my lips exfoliated and hydrated. It also protects them from the sun which is something that can often be overlooked. 

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099252″]

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+

I received a sample size tube of this and it has lasted me weeks. A little goes a very long way. Though it provides sheer coverage, this CC cream neutralizes redness while giving me a sun-kissed glow. 

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099253″]

Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Color in Reflection

I love cream eyeshadows but have had little luck finding one that doesn’t crease. Though this formula isn’t perfect, if I apply it over a thin layer of CC cream it stays put better than any other cream shadow I’ve tried. 

Bonus Points

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099259″]

Hydracy Water Bottle with Time Marker

If I’m dehydrated, my skin is dehydrated and no amount of makeup will help me out. I’ve shared my love for this water bottle before. It really helps me to stay up on my water intake.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099261″]

Esarora Ice Roller

Ideally you should keep your beauty products in the fridge but this stays in the freezer. After washing and drying my face I run this roller all over, paying particular attention to under my eyes. It gets rid of any puffiness and it’s very refreshing on a hot day.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099262″]

Eugenia Kim Sunny “Do Not Disturb” Hat

Why not employ fashion to help protect yourself against the sun’s harmful rays? This cheeky hat is a staple in my beach bag! 

So there you have it. These are my essential summer beauty products that I always have with me for any beach day or warm weather getaway. What are some of your favorite summer beauty products?

Taking the girls to the top of the Empire State Building was equal parts chaos and absolute magic. We traded the downtown pavement for gilded ceilings, 360-degree views, and that irreplaceable look of awe when they finally saw the skyline stretch out in front of them. Family travel doesn’t mean leaving your style—or your sense of adventure—at home. It just means you get to share the top of the world with your favorite people.

Have you taken your kids to the top yet? Save this for your next NYC itinerary and let me know your favorite spot in the city below! 👇

They write songs about working 9 to 5, but nobody They write songs about working 9 to 5, but nobody quite prepares you for the 24/7 rhythm of raising little girls—the quiet moments of grace, the loud bursts of laughter, and the way they teach you all over again how to see the magic in the everyday.

Falling right on Dolly Parton Day, celebrating National Daughters Day feels like a quiet nod to every woman who pours her entire soul into building a beautiful life.

To my girls: May you always know your own strength, keep a little bit of sparkle in your back pocket, and dance like the whole world is yours.

“Stop callin’, stop callin’, I don’t wanna think a “Stop callin’, stop callin’, I don’t wanna think anymore…” ☎️✨

In honor of Mother Monster herself hitting a major new chapter, consider this my official public service announcement: if you thought stadium tours, runway moments, and high-fashion quick changes were intense… get ready for what’s to come.

Welcome to the ultimate world tour: motherhood.
The riders are just crushed snacks and juice boxes, the call times are 5:30 AM sharp, and your wardrobe pivots from tulle and sparkle straight to high-speed toddler chasing—sometimes all in the same afternoon. You think you know busy, and then suddenly you’re juggling rehearsals, subway rides, and dance parties in grand ballrooms with two tiny VIPs running the whole show.

The chaos is real, the glam is elevated survival, and the schedule never stops ringing. But every single mad dash? A million percent worth it. 

Because performing on any stage is magic, but having your babies look up at you like you hung the moon? That’s the only gig that truly makes me feel like a rock star every single day. ⚡️💖

Raise your champagne coupe (or third cup of espresso) to the wildest, most beautiful show on earth. 🥂

Fellow mamas: on a scale of “silent phone booth moment” to “full stadium chaos,” where does your day fall right now? Drop it below! 👇✨

✨ Introducing Arielle to MoMA was everything I hop ✨ Introducing Arielle to MoMA was everything I hoped it would be and more. Watching her tiny silhouette in front of Jackson Pollock’s rebellious splatters and seeing the sheer wonder in her eyes at Starry Night completely melted me.

If you’re on the fence about bringing kids to an art museum, take this as your sign to just do it. It doesn’t have to be stuffy, and you don’t need to be an art critic. MoMA is a total playground for curious little minds (and a gorgeous, concrete sanctuary for the rest of us). Toss on your best sneakers, grab their hand, and go find some magic. 🗽🎨🥂

What was the first iconic piece of art you ever saw in person? Tell me below! 👇

There’s a rumor floating around that once you’ve l There’s a rumor floating around that once you’ve lived somewhere long enough, you hit a ceiling. You’ve seen it, done it, and bought the vintage t-shirt. But darling, New York City didn’t get that memo.

I spent two glorious, gritty, caffeine-fueled years living in this concrete jungle during college. Last year, when we visited, I played tour guide—showing my daughters the city I knew, the spots that held my memories. It was pure, beautiful nostalgia. But one of the best things about NYC is the juxtaposition: centuries-old institutions stand shoulder-to-shoulder with brilliant spots that literally opened yesterday.

This past trip, we flipped the script. I realized that amidst the familiar streets, there was still an entirely new city waiting for me.

Cue the firsts. We swapped my usual downtown haunts for sky-high views on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building and suspended ourselves above the skyline at The Edge. We traded pavement for water, steering toy motorboats in Central Park, and swapped standard coffee runs for proper high Tea at The Plaza and sugary perfection with Dominique Ansel’s legendary Cronuts. We spun under the lights of the SeaGlass Carousel, dove headfirst into the pink wonderland at the Museum of Ice Cream, and ate our weight in absolute NYC royalty—Katz’s Deli and John’s of Bleecker Street.

It is a thrill to realize a city you thought you knew so intimately can still keep you on your toes. But the absolute best “first” of the trip? That undeniable, sparkling realization that I’ve successfully turned my girls into aspiring New Yorkers.
And honestly? I’m feeling pretty damn good about that. 🥂🚕✨

What is your favorite NYC spot that never gets old?
