Summer Essentials

June 26, 2018

Living in Florida, we are hot all year round. I mean we may get those few weeks of winter, but other than that it’s sweat city over here. Not complaining because with that heat comes beach hangs, palm trees, and sunny days!

As a teacher, I’m consistently running around on the job. As a teacher in Florida I’m constantly running around and sweating on the job. I was so tired of being only a couple hours into the school day and feeling like my deodorant had already quit on me. Now as you know, kids have no filter. If something stinks they’re going to let you know! If you have sweat stains ruining your pretty blue blouse, they’re going to let you know!

So here we are today-I moved on to a deodorant that actually does what it is supposed to do-Secret Clinical Strength keeps me dry all day. I don’t have time to be reapplying deodorant multiple times a day, or worry if I’m sweating through my clothes. I’m able to use Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid just once for all-day, strong wetness protection.

Y’all know we don’t recommend a product on here if it isn’t legit so this deodorant is tried and tested in the hot FL sun, and I have to say 10 out of 10 would recommend! I have high standards with my skincare routine, so I needed to have higher standards for my deodorant game. And here we are! I mean if a deodorant can keep up with me on a hot Florida day, in June, at Disney World we have a winner!

Check it out for yourself at Target!

Thank you Secret for sponsoring this post. As always all thoughts and opinions are our own.

Current Summer Makeup Routine

June 19, 2018

{Vanity: Ikea, Decor: Target/Homegoods/Marshalls}

I always have a specific type of makeup look come summer. I love the look of bronzy, glowing skin! It is so hot during the summer that I really don’t like to pile on too much makeup. I try to keep it light while still getting the coverage that I want!

{Last year’s summer beauty faves.}

So here we go-my current favorite products:

5 Must Haves for a TROPICAL vacay

May 30, 2018

Ok guys, it’s almost officially Summer, but let’s be real Summertime kickoff is Memorial Day weekend. I don’t care if the season didn’t officially start, the Summertime vibes are here!

If you’re like us the Summer season means tropical beach trips. Whether that’s a trip out of the country or just a weekend adventure down to your local beach or pool, it’s that time of year where we can all act like sun goddesses and bask in the fun of Summer activities.

In order to kickoff this fun vacay season we are sharing our top five must-haves for any beach/tropical trip you may have coming up. Even if it is a staycation, there’s nothing wrong with fanning yourself with some palm leaves and pretending you’re in Tulum!

1. Palm Print 

load

Does anything scream tropical vacay like palm print pieces?! Just looking at this print puts me in the Summertime mood.

2. Fun, Festive Swimsuits

load

There are swimsuits and then there are vacay swimsuits. I don’t know about you, but I always feel like we can push the boundaries a little when we wear swimsuits on a tropical vacation! I love buying suits that I might not normally wear because of that vacay yolo.

3. Cute PJs

load

Now on most of our tropical trips we spend the days at the beach & pool. Which means before we do anything at night we come back to the room, shower, and get ready. PJs are normally a last minute throw in when it comes to packing, but not if you have a cute, comfy pair! You can get ready for the night out in them and then wear them later to sleep.

4. Bright Orange/Red lip

load

This is a Summer makeup staple for me! You can wear minimal makeup or none really, throw on a bright orange/red lip and you look aaaamazing! It goes so good with a tan and all the bright Summer prints and colors.

5. Summertime Drinkwear 

load

Now what is more fun then drinking a cold beverage by a pool, than drinking it out of fun festive drinkwear?! Some of these are practical, some not so much-but it’s all about the fun this season!

We’d love to hear about any upcoming tropical vacays you have! Happy Summer!

Wednesday Weekly Wishlist

January 11, 2018

We are so excited to add this new series to our blog!

Every Wednesday we are going to be sharing a few of our favorite affordable or sale items of the week with you. We are constantly scouring stores in search of the best deals and cutest affordable pieces and we thought what better way than to do a short weekly roundup of those finds!

So here we go-our first Wednesday Weekly Wishlist (say that 5 times):

1 //  2 //

 3 //  4 //

5 // 6 //

7 // 8 //

9 //

1 // I love this top! From the neckline to the stripes, it is the perfect top for all seasons. It is currently on sale here with an extra 60% off (no code needed) making it $15.95!

2 // Lately shearling/faux shearling jackets have been everywhere! Rightfully so because they are warm, cute, and cozy. This one is under $40, the perfect shade of cream, and looks waaay more expensive than it is.

3 // Red flats are such a fun versatile shoe! They are more fun than your classic nude flats, but can be paired with so much. I’ve been wishing for this pair-the fringe is so cute! They’re currently on sale for $19.

4 // Zara is my favorite place to find skirts. I looove their faux leather options because the cuts are perfect and they look so expensive-but are super affordable. I absolutely love this off white faux leather skirt because you can wear it now and transition it into Springtime. It’s a steal at just under $20! It would look so cute paired with that striped off the shoulder blouse.

5 // Ok so one more Zara pick-how fun is this sweatshirt with faux fur sleeves?! This is just so cute I need it in my closet. It’s on sale for under $16. Yesssss!

6 // Love the fun splatter detail! And Citizens of Humanity Rocket jeans are our ALL Time favorites!

7 // The Gucci horse bit detail on the back is simple and clean but so stylish! These boots are sooo gorgeous and such a great deal!

8 // Totally inspired by Riverdale-I’ve been wanting a sherpa lined denim jacket for a while! This one is so cute and currently on sale for under $50!

9 // The throwback look of this Adidas tee is my fav!  I really like that the sleeves are more fitted so it’s not a super slouchy tee and it’s been really popular.  Zappos has it for a good price!

 

Let us how you like this new series! Happy Wednesday!!
