It’s spring break time in Nashville which means K is home for 10 straight days. Since Matt’s business is beach based, we typically head to the beach for our vacations so he can work intermittently while there. Countdown two days until I feel the sand between my toes. Even though vacation doesn’t quite mean what it used to nowadays with kiddos in tow, I still aim to look my best when going on vacay and showing a little skin. So since I’m limited on time I try to find hacks to stretch out my beauty regimes as much as possible. What do I mean? Well allow me to elaborate…I’m sharing a few of my routines and beauty hacks to make things easier for your daily life and to stretch out your fave regimes.
7 BEAUTY HACKS FOR THE SUMMER
- AT HOME WAX STRIPS. If you’re anything like me you have zero time to shave your legs much less make a wax appointment. Bad news is that summer is coming ladies and the scary leg hair just isn’t gonna cut it anymore. We cannot hide our fuzzy legs in pants. I just don’t have time to shave my legs every couple of days though and definitely cannot make it to the spa as often as I would need to get a wax. Nads to the rescue.
Seriously this is such a neat and universal product. It gives you up to 4 weeks of smooth skin while exfoliating and waxing. Also if you have sensitive skin, no worries, because it has grapefruit and pomegranate extracts infused within. This is the type of product that will definitely save you some time with the 2-in-1 wax strips plus it is effective on all types of body hair. Anddd Nad’s is 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free, whoop whoop.
- INSTANT BLEACH TREATMENT. One of the very first things someone sees on you is your smile… I for one drink a lot of coffee so I am very insecure about the color of my teeth. The cool thing is that many different companies now make bleach trays that will make your teeth multiple shades whiter within a weeks time.
- BALAYAGE HAIR. This is not only super trendy but it looks like it’s staying a bit. Why? Because its low maintenance. I used to get my hair done every 6 weeks but now I can stretch it out to 12. And I’m blonde so if you’re brunette you’re even more lucky because you can get more bang for your buck.
- LASH SERUM/ LASH EXTENSIONS. I used to have lash extensions but I honestly couldn’t dedicate the time to go get my fillings bi weekly but if you are able to, you definitely should because they are stunning. I did start using a few lash serums within the past year and they have made a drastic change to my eyelashes. I do highly recommend one if you are trying to obtain luscious natural lashes and avoid wearing mascara most days.
- BLOWOUTS. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…if I were rich I would get a blowout every single week. #1 It takes forever and a day to wash my hair and dry it. #2 It will go a full 7 days with no wash. So if you can afford blowouts, awesome. But if not, even taking the time to carefully blow out your hair with a round or paddle brush and hair dryer will add so much time to your week.
- VITAMIN C SERUM. This is definitely a must for daytime use to not only fight aging and protect skin but it also gives you a glow for day-to-day when you’re wearing minimal makeup.
- SPRAY TAN OR SELF TANNER. Not sure about you, but I feel a lot more attractive when I have a tan. However, I’m also 34 so I have learned to stay out of the sun and tanning beds. Tanning solution is a lifesaver. It makes me look skinnier, prettier in my opinion and also my makeup goes on a lot better. Invest in a spray tan package or buy a really good self tanner and watch yourself glow. (Don’t forget to exfoliate)
