  2. I love wearing a little less make-up in the summer, lighter eye colors, and a little bronzer instead of foundation. Makes me feel like I might have some color in my sad, pale Seattle skin - even if only for a few weeks out of the year! :) paulah90@yahoo.com

  3. My favorite summertime beauty ritual is getting a pedicure. While I know the importance of pedicures year round I especially love pedicures in the summertime because I can really show of my polish.

  4. No doubt about it - regular pedicures. I don't pamper my feet when they're covered but in summer, I go barefoot as much as possible. No gnarly toes and heels for me!

  5. My fave summertime beauty ritual isn't really a ritual, but something that works wonders anyway: on the beach, using wet sand as a body scrub and then diving in the salty water. My skin is so smooth afterwards!

  6. really taking care of my skin from all of the sun. i love finding new facial washes and moisturizers and then trying them out : )

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love cool showers, but cant' take one unless it is really hot outside. the cold water is so much better for your hair than the hot, and not nearly as drying to skin.

  20. My favorite summertime beauty ritual would have to be painting my toenails! I love trying out every color in the rainbow, and different designs :) During the cold months, I don't bother putting anything on my toes, because my nails are fragile and who's going to see my toes anyway (besides my husband lol)

    Thanks for this giveaway! I'm loving every single item!

  28. Summer time is when I buy new nail polish to do a pedicure with my girlfriend and we highlight our hair. Of course a little wine too, so we have some girl time away from the men! I like getting a good self tanning product too to look as I am summer ready! This cost very little when you do it yourself and this summer tote would make a fun night too!

  29. My summertime ritual is switching to an oil based moisturizer for my legs under my sunscreen for a glow that doesn't look greasy!!

    Well, yeah, it's a ritual... but there's no chanting or cloaks or candles or anything. When the weather here in the South tends to make a girl wilt, I need a little extra something to put out that calm, cool, and collected vibe.

    I keep my fave summertime scent (Sunset Heat by Escada) in the fridge. Just after I rock a pair of strappy sandals and before I head out the door, I spritz a little cloudburst of the fragrance into the air in front of me and then walk into it. I close my eyes as it settles onto my skin in a light veil of delectable coolness. I feel instantly refreshed and can head for whatever adventure awaits knowing that I smell as good as I look.

    Our mamas may have taught us to be sweet (and we are), but we also have that "sultry" thing goin' on. The heat and the humidity down here may be oppressive, but let's just say the temperature isn't the only thing that's SIZZLING!

  56. My summertime ritual is to go to revive myself by sitting in a bathtub full of bubbles with a hint of Lavendar aroma in the air surrounded by candles. After, I like to put a nice body lotion on to make me feel rejuvenated. It's a "me" moment. Sometimes I even put soft music on to relax me as well. It's a summertime ritual that I enjoy, especially after a long summer day.

    My Favorite Summer beauty ritual is a to do a home waxing treatment. Not that I like the pain, but especially in the Summer, being bathing suit season and all, I love to know that I've taken care of that unwanted hair and that it is going to stay that way for awhile.
