Each season I tend to find a few really great things and wear/ use them on repeat. During the winter it’s usually a really comfy sweater, fall it’s a scarf and great scented candle and spring & summer, well let’s get into that because I’m just obsessed with these right now!
Hair Accessories:
Summer = frizzy hair, and it’s very annoying. Luckily I’ve found these headbands that are super cute and solve my “what the heck do I do with my hair today?” issues!

Sun Protection:
Y’all know my view on using safer products and how important it is (you can read my 5 minute safer morning routine here). I’ve been looking for a great sunscreen for a while now and finally found it!
The benefits:
- Formulated with non nano zinc oxide and antioxidant rich California poppy to protect against UVA, UVB and BLUE LIGHT! Blue Light has been found to be just as harmful as the UVA and UVB rays and contributes to hyperpigmentation, premature aging and oxidative stress
- It’s reef friendly! You won’t find oxybenzone or Octinoxate in this sunscreen! These sun filters are known to contribute to the collapse of coral reefs. Hawaii just banned them, woohoo!
- For the sunscreen mist option: Innovative air powered continuous mist that goes on white to help with application, but leaves no white residue. Non-aerosol, bag-on-valve actuator system delivers the convenience of a spray without the potential of harmful propellant chemicals going into the atmosphere or into your skin. Particle size of the non nano zinc oxide has been evaluated to ensure there is no potential risk of respiration when sprayed.
There’s a lotion, mist, travel mist and body stick. I’ll be using the lotion and mist on repeat all summer long!

Dry Shampoo:
Back to hair talk again. I have no patience when it comes to my hair and really don’t like having to do it. This is where dry shampoo comes into my life and thank goodness for it! Also a safer formula, I just rub this into my hair and it saves me from having to worry about washing it.

Toner/ Moisturizing Facial Mist:
Use this to refresh your face on a hot day or after a workout, as a toner or to set makeup. Love it!
Lip Gloss:
Another safer option, this lip gloss comes in so many colors (my faves are Peony and Bare Shimmer). It moisturizes and isn’t sticky!
Clothing:
A good pair of shorts and a light linen tank are all I really need to carry me through the summer. Haha, just kidding. Also a cute sundress, some cute & comfy sandals and a great bathing suit.

Hi! I just discovered your blog and Instagram, and I’m loving browsing your posts! Any chance you’re planning on posting about your garage gym? My husband and I just bought our first house and plan on putting a gym in our garage as well, so I’d love to hear about what you have, the process of planning and installing, and how you’re liking it!
Hey Meredith! Yes, I can definitely write up a blog post about our garage gym. I’ll have it up by the end of next week so check back soon 🙂 Thanks for the idea!
