Sizzling Beauty Fixes for Summer: Part 1

I felt like doing a little bit of late night blogging as its almost 11, which isn't that late but I have a full Friday ahead of me so this may not be the best choice... Either way I'm going to share my products and tips for many problems you may encounter with the hot weather. ENJOY MINIONS (jk but despicable me 2 where you at?)

First off is the dreaded OILY SKIN. You may have got it from your momma or just from the weather change but this makes it nonetheless A LIFE RUINER. Plus it tends make a person's face rounder in my opinion. So my friends, I have a simple solution. Blotting papers and translucent powder! First blot to remove the oil then dust a little bit of powder to insure your makeup is fresh and oil-free the rest of the day! These two will get the job done for sure.

We all know and love beachy, loose waves yet one might ask "How can I achieve such a thing?"Well my friends its very easy when you use the right spray. One that contains sea salt, but isn't the main ingredient works wonders as the sea salt provides texture and volume. I have found the perfect one that has lasted me forever. It gives me enough confidence to wear my hair "au naturale" after just a little spritz in my dry, bedhead. Also its very important to deep condition your hair especially with the chlorine and the cruel sun.

OK so we have face and hair covered, but what about... your body! It gets dry from being out in the sun or taking a dip in the pool so its vital to re-hydrate it everyday with a luxurious body butter. This one is my holy grail lotion/body butter/love of my life. I have gone thru at least 4 tubs as I love to slather this coconut and marshmallow scented cream all over! Its also cruelty free and contains no parabens. But is does have the hydrating ingredients of coconut oil, vitamin e, and shea butter. Your skin will look and smell like a dream!
