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

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099229″]

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?

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Chris If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Christmas, it would look exactly like the Holly Jolly Bar at West End Johnnie’s. 👑✨ 

Alex and I escaped for a date night and this place is an absolute fever dream of festive kitsch in the best way possible. 

From the “Keep the change ya filthy animal” neon glow to sipping spiked eggnog out of a Clark Griswold moose mug in my faux fur, the high-low glam energy was off the charts.

The menu is packed with shareable bites and the drink menu is basically a love letter to our favorite holiday movies. 

Leave the kids at home, put on your favorite sparkly skirt, and go get festive. 

Tag the friend who owes you a holiday cocktail date below! 👇🥂

Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨ We ma Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨

We make the trip out to the New England Botanic Garden every year for this, but the artistry this season is on another level. 

I was completely mesmerized by “The Storyteller” gnome. Between the vintage library card detail, the spines of my favorite fairytales, and the tiny signpost pointing to Narnia and the Hundred Acre Woods I could have stared at him all afternoon.

I know we’re all supposed to look for the Golden Gnome, but if you’re taking the kids (or just going for a highly aesthetic autumn walk), you have to hunt The Storyteller down. 

Gnomevember is @NewEnglandBG until November 30. 

Tell me—if you could follow his signpost to any fictional world, where are you buying a one-way ticket to? 📖✈️

✨ Save this post for your next weekend outing and tag a friend you’d love to take with you!

Who says you can’t mix priceless Egyptian antiquit Who says you can’t mix priceless Egyptian antiquities with a stroller and a little attitude? 👑✨

We took the girls to the Maverick Kings exhibition at the @mfaboston, and let me tell you—it is serving major drama, gold, and ancient history, and we were absolutely here for it. But let’s be real: navigating a world-class art museum with kids requires a solid game plan and probably an extra shot of espresso. ☕️

I’ve put together my ultimate chic survival guide in this carousel so you can conquer Egypt’s golden age without losing your cool. 

From pre-gaming the history before you leave the house to letting them channel their inner art detectives at the hieroglyphics station, there is so much magic to unpack here. 

And yes, the whole thing is beautifully stroller-friendly. Roll right on through, mamas. 🖤

Swipe through for all 7 of my street-smart tips to make this a seamless, stylish adventure. The exhibit closes December 6th, so consider this your sign to grab those timed-entry tickets before they’re history! ⏳

The holiday gift scramble is officially on, mamas— The holiday gift scramble is officially on, mamas—and if your playroom looks anything like mine, we are pivoting hard toward experiences this year. 🎁✨

Looking back at footage from our last Disney on Ice adventure has me so excited for round two! There is just nothing quite like the sheer magic of seeing their eyes light up when the music starts and the skaters take the ice.

That’s why we are gifting tickets to see Disney on Ice: Spotlight Magic when it skates into Boston this February vacation (February 17-21, 2027)! It’s the ultimate way to break up the winter blues, skip the toy clutter, and make memories they’ll talk about all year.

Whether you’re tucking tickets into a stocking or wrapping up a sparkly envelope under the tree, it’s a total home run. Tickets are on sale now—head to the link in my bio to lock in your seats @tdgarden before the best spots disappear! ⛸️👑💫

School might have been out today, but mama’s class School might have been out today, but mama’s classroom was wide open. 🏛️✨

We took full advantage of the day off and headed to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to check out Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age.

If you have little ones, this exhibit is such a home run. The girls were completely captivated—especially channeling some serious ancient girl power learning about powerful queens like Hatshepsut - who actually claimed the title Pharaoh, trying out the interactive gallery prompts, and spending forever at the hands-on hieroglyphics station. 

Let’s just say Arielle has been utterly obsessed with her Egyptology book ever since we walked out the doors! Having my mom along (our resident Egyptophile who has actually stood among the pyramids!) made watching them explore 3,000 years of gold and royal history even more magical.

And the fun photo booth at the end was the icing on the cake!

Proof that the best learning happens when you get out and make it an adventure. Maverick Kings is on view at the MFA through December 6th—definitely add it to your family bucket list before it’s gone!
