My Favorite Things...SUMMER GIVEAWAY!!!

My favorite time of the year is here...SUMMER TIME!! This means fun up do's, great makeup looks, mini vacations, hiking, and sunset running..I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SUMMER! I wanted to make things a little saucy this month with my favorite things so I'm sharing a few items I can't live without, a great new hair crazy and fun earrings from Flourish Salon!!

So here are my picks for summer!!!!

Dream Cream

I don't know about you but my skin is super dry during this time of year. Swimming in chlorine, and excessive sweating while running in this summer weather is all making my skin dry and ITCHY! I've always been a fan of Lush shops so when I ran the Pasadena Half marathon I had the opportunity to stop at the store located downtown. I explained my activities to the sales girl and she recommended the Dream Cream. I've been using it since May and my skin looks and feels so much better. It takes about a dime size of this to cover each leg, if you go more then you may feel a bit greasy. Its smells great and feels wonderful on! It helps with sunburns and is great for kids skin as well. The one thing I learned was don't use this before going to a hot yoga class, lets just say my sweat and the lotion made doing certain posses very challenging! HAHA! This cute container of lotion should last you about 6-7 months and it runs $24.95. They are a world wide company so you can order this product online, or in one of there local stores.

Fishtail Braid

Here is a little side fishtail I did for work the other day! Earrings by Flourish Salon!

I'm always looking for new ways of keeping my long locks away from my face during work, workouts, or running. Braids are easy and can be fun if your creative with them, but why not "flair your hair" with a fishtail braid. I absolutely love this look! Its super easy to do and can be done to your ponytail for a great race look! It's definitely the summer look this year. I learned how do it by looking it up on YouTube. =)

Feather Earrings

My earrings also seen the picture above!

Feathers, feathers, feathers!! They seem to be taking over the fashion world lately. Feather extensions, and now feather earrings!! I ordered these earrings from Flourish Salon and can't stop wearing them, I get compliments on them all the time. Flourish Salons online store has tons of handmade hair accessories and jewelry for pretty much any occasion. When I contacted my friend and designer Denice to see if she was interested in featuring the earrings on my "Favorite Things" she was awesome enough to give a pair for a give away!!
