Berries, BBQ’s and Bonfires! Just a few of my favorite summertime things!
Frozen blueberries are a healthy alternative to ice cream…although the frozen dairy industry doesn’t have to worry based on my ice cream consumption alone!
We also have a sizeable strawberry crop spread out through our property (and no, it’s not acreage, just a normal SFR in a lovely neighborhood). These strawberries migrated from our neighbor to the east of us. We have since controlled (and I use the word ‘controlled’ loosely) the whereabout of these strawberries, which incidentally make for great ground cover!
Lavish Body Butter by EVER Skin:
This body butter is rich and decadent and is smells like orange pound cake. It’s simply delicious!! This 2017 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner moisturizes and nourishes. The superfruit antioxidant-rich complex and jojoba oil leave your skin softer, smoother and younger-looking….it even minimizes stretch marks (see before and after pictures here). I’ve also experienced its healing properties on eczema and sunburns as well as being a mosquito repellent because of the natural citrus oils. Read Allure’s raving review of Lavish here.

I love products that provide multiple functions. One of my favorite, everyday products is Ever Skin’s Daylight Tinted Moisturizer. It is a 4 in 1 product that helps me start my day efficiently and effectively. This amazing producted encompasses the following:
- MOISTURIZER,
- SPF,
- FOUNDATION
- LSR10 ANTI-AGING FORMULA
Not only does wearing SPF on your face protect you from sunburn today, it helps prevent visible signs of aging caused by sun exposure. Turn to a tinted moisturizer during the summer to protect skin AND to prime skin before makeup. This one features chemical-free sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 32 protection. It’s also infused with a form of Vitamin C that helps smooth the appearance of expression lines and visibly brighten the skin tone. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!!
