These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Some of my personal favs month by month
I love products, you love products, so I figured what could be better than telling you about the products that I'm loving right now!

happy summer!
Hair care
Listen y'all, my mum is a hairdresser and she loves Pantene too. My hair has always been a big hit wherever I go (thank y'all for that by the way it really boosts my ego) and I love how it feels. Since I've been in the pool pretty much every day for the last few weeks getting that chlorine feeling out has been really important to me. So this is definitely a favorite.
Sunblock!!!
I have a HUGE allergy to an ingredient in some sunscreens called Oxybenzone and it is miserable. It's really important to read your labels and make sure the main ingredient in your sunblocks (definitely try to use sunblocks more than sunscreens when you can), is Zinc oxide and or Titanium dioxide! I know we all want that golden summer glow, but I'd prefer I did it safely and protected my skin for the long run. Another good option that is better for the environment is the SunBum "mineral" line.
For your insides
The personal maintenance of your health soap box is a soap box I love to stand on. While it may seem like the pandemic is over to some people, I would like to gently remind you that it is not. Take this summer vacation to build up your immunity! Gut health is SO important and can be easily looked over. If you've taken a course of antibiotics without a course of probiotics afterwards I highly recommend you start integrating that into your get well soon baskets. Yogurt with live cultures is also a great way to get probiotics into your system while also eating something yummy!
A good read
I could honestly describe this book as "wow" and leave it at that. It has been brutally honest with me about parts of myself that I didn't want to be honest about. It is changing my perception on projects and any hills that might come up in life. I love this book and have convinced a few other people to read it too! I think at the end of this year I will be making a blog post with all of my favorite books with links, so keep an eye out for that.
A mask:)
It's not about politics or freedoms. It's about protecting someone. This is your random act of kindness for the day if you want it to be! This is how you can say you were a hero this year! I am a nursing major y'all, I am not just saying this with no prior knowledge. Protect others by protecting yourself! I want things to go back to normal so badly, and by wearing a mask when I leave my home as well as social distancing and proper hand hygiene I am helping get us all back to our "normals". But we need your help to make it happen.

Happy summer part 2!
Moisturizer
If you've been feeling stir crazy like I have you may be spending more time in your yard or outside in the sunshine(safely of course). If so, you definitely need to be taking care of that beautiful skin of yours!
Still a mask!
Don't forget - you're still in a global pandemic! I'm still in a global pandemic! The world is still experiencing a global pandemic! Get a cute one, get six more, and then keep wearing them.
Taylored Lashes
I had to get my lash extensions off this month because I went back to school so I am currently loving falsies and Taylored Lashes are beautiful and such a pageant girl necessity. The names are all so cute and Taylor herself is so amazing!
