date night

whisked away dress {blue one here} || tan sandals {low in sizes - similar here}


Yesterday Blake and I tried out this new restaurant (new to us), French Market Bistro, and it was amazing! From the bread & rich creamy butter before the meal to the tender & juice filets with garlic mashed potatoes and mac & cheese we got... all of it was just so delicious. We will definitely be going back there. I recommend making reservations cause they're usually pretty busy. Great dinner option & atmosphere for a date night.

 Hope y'all have an awesome week!

15 Summer Beauty Must Haves

It's not "officially" summer yet, but it's hot enough that we're gonna say it's summer. So let's talk summer beauty must haves!

1. neutrogena face sunscreen - I love this product because like the bottle says, it's "break-out free" & I have really sensitive skin so it's perfect.

2. beach babe texturizing spray - This sea salt spray by 'not your mother's' is perfect when you want those beachy waves. Also it smells SO good!

3. clean & clear oil sheets - These are my best friend, I use them year round! They do an amazing job at getting rid of oil. FYI: If you're sweating & have not cooled down yet, I would not use them until you have done so because it'll take like all your makeup off. Also, I'm sure other brands work the same.. these are just the ones I have always used.

4. waterproof mascara - This is one of a few different waterproof mascaras I have used. It's a must for summer when you're going swimming, on the river, or at the beach.

5. cooling spray - This Waikiki Beach Coconut cooling spray from Bath&BodyWorks is 1. my favorite scent probably EVER and 2. it's basically like after sun lotion but a spray. Also, it contains aloe.

6. makeup setting spray - I like to use this Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray to keep my makeup in place all day.

7. tanning lotion - I've always used this Australian Gold tanning lotion & it seems to do a great job. I also think it smells pretty good.

8. self tanner - This self tanner by Ocean Potion is basically a daily tinted moisturizer. I like that it gradually makes your skin darker & doesn't give you those annoying dark splotchy marks or make you look orange. I definitely recommend getting this.

9. bb cream - I like to use bb cream when I don't feel like putting on a lot of makeup, but still want good coverage. I recommend this one by Clinique.

10. after sun lotion  - This after sun lotion by Hawiian Tropic smells SO good. I've used it for several years now & love it. Also if you put it in the fridge (like anything) it will get cold & feels nice on your skin if you have a sunburn. I always use this even if I don't get a sunburn so my skin won't pill.

11. bronzer - This is good anytime of the year but I think it's good to have handy during the summer to add some color to your skin after a day in the sun & you may not have a dark enough foundation at the moment.

12. makeup remover wipes - These hydrating makeup remover wipes by Neutrogena are my favorite. I have used them for years. They are great for summer (or year round) if you have dry skin.

13. coconut lime sugar scrub - Coconut scent is my favorite especially during the summer. I love this body scrub, great for exfoliating... which is important during the summer & when you're using a self tanner.

14. dry shampoo - I would probably die without dry shampoo. My new favorite is this one by OGX. It does a good job & it smells just like the shampoo!

15. ogx coconut shampoo & conditioner - Cause what's summer without the smell of coconut?! I love OGX's products. I've used several different shampoo & conditioners by them and I haven't found one I didn't like.

What's your favorite summer beauty product? Let me know in the comments below so I can try it out!
