Am I the only one that struggles buying Fourth of July themed outfits? Don’t get me wrong, I love busting out my best stars and stripes to celebrate, but once the 4th passes, I never wear that outfit again. This year, I am doing it differently! Instead of buying a one and done kind of outfit, I went with an outfit that I know I will wear again. I love how easy this tie top is! It is so cute with a causal pair of denim shorts (hello 4th of July outfit), but I can also dress it up a little with white jeans! I love that this top…

SUMMER BEAUTY ESSENTIALS
There is nothing better than having that just walked in from the beach look during the summer! I tend to go for a natural sun kissed look and fun low maintenance hair during the warm months, because nothing is worse than being all glammed up and then sweating it all off (I’m looking at you Texas heat). It is also SO important to take care of your skin and protect it against the harsh sun. I have listed my favorite summer beauty essentials that I am using to get that glow, take care of my skin, and keep my hair looking summer ready!

TOP: NORDSTROM (here) // DENIM SHORTS: H&M (similar here) // HEADBAND: FOREVER21 (similar here and here) // SANDALS: DV (here) Confession: I used to lay in a tanning bed almost every day in high school, and I loved it… Looking back now, I know how dumb my teenage self was for putting my skin under UV lights. In college, I discovered spray tans and my life changed. There is just something about a spray tan that makes you feel airbrushed and flawless! While I don’t mind splurging on a spray tan for big events, that expense adds up. I’ve been trying out lots of self tanning products that are cost efficient…

BEST AT HOME TEETH WHITENING SYSTEM
I am a coffee addict. If you know me, that statement comes as no surprise. I have to have at least one cup a day or I get severe headaches. Not good I know, but I just can’t live without it. With that being said, my morning coffees have left my teeth stained. I have always been a little self conscious about it, but never found a whitening process that I loved, or that wasn’t crazy expensive. When Smile Brilliant reached out, I was so excited! I had heard so many great things about their at home teeth whitening system and was dying to try it. After a few weeks…
