So not that I’ve been able to get to the beach so far this summer (thank you RAIN), but I’ve been using a new razor in hopes that one day, it might actually be nice enough to beach it. I’m loving Gillette Venus Spa Breeze razor…not only does it smell of delightful White Tea, but it has built-in shave gel bars that flex and respond to fit intricate curves, delivering the best smooth shave.
So since nothing would make me feel more at ease than not having to pay rent for a year, I thought my dear readers might be interested in learning more about Apartment Guide and Penske Truck Rental’s contest to win $15,000 (or free rent for a year) and $1,000 credit toward a Penske Truck rental. Plus, four runners-up will receive an iPod Touch.
All you have to do is follow Apartment Guide on Twitter (@aptguide) and reTweet to for a chance to win. Right now, they only have approximately 2,200 followers, so the odds of winning a lot of money are pretty good! Here’s the official contest rules.
So it’s pretty obvious that I love No Frizz by Living Proof products, right? Well, the genius’ over at their labs managed to one-up themselves with a line extension- shampoo, conditioner and a leave-in treatment! Yes, that’s right…even more protection against frizz and humidity. These new products enhance the benefits of No Frizz styling products, leaving hair smooth, and, of course, frizz-free.
So I realized that I always follow a very specific beauty routine in the summer. With the heat and humidity, a girl’s gotta know what works and what doesn’t…and here’s my list of faves.
DERMAdoctor MED e TATE: These little wipes prevent excessive sweating. Perfect for when you know you’re about to face the heat and you’re wearing fabric that shows sweat. Ew.
Earth Therapeutics Clean + Cool Foot Wipes: When walking around NYC all day in flip flops, you’re feet can get very dirty, to say the least. I clean off my feet at night before I get into bed with these pepperminty wipes.
Clinique Targeted Protection Stick SPF 45: You know when you’re walking around and enjoying the beautiful summer day but you can feel the tips of your ears burning? Is it just me? I carry this stick around in my purse for those random “wow, my skin is fair” moments.
L’Occitane Mosquito Repelent Towelettes: This product is incredibly hard to find, probably because it works so well. These lavender-infused towelettes repel mosquitos using geranium and citronella oils. A must for anyone visiting the “country.”
Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist: This spray (that also comes in a travel size) moisturizes both skin and hair with the Awapuhi flower. It’s cool and refreshing and great for the plane and beach.
Dr. Brandt Blemishes No More Cleansing Pads: With extra late nights in the summer, I can usually get pretty lazy about washing my face at night…but with these pads, I don’t even have to get out of bed.
L’Oreal Serie Expert SOlar Sublime After-Sun Nourishing Balm: The sun dries out my already bleached hair, making an after-sun conditioning treatment super important. This after-sun balm smells lovely and really does a great job moisturizing.
So this quote totally made my day cause I loooove Chipotle.
“I needed my own space and it’s a little bit secluded and I like that…I have my own privacy. I’ve been walking around a bit. I found a nice Chipotle in the neighborhood and that’s all I need. I need my Chipotle and my little coffee maker and I’m good.” – Chace Crawford
