summer must-have's

We all have our own favorites for the seasons, pumpkin scented candles in the fall, peppermint tea in the winter, rose water come spring....there are so many little products we come to love and cherish. I have found my favorites of the summer, and even though the summer is beginning to wind down, here they are! 

Kai Body Glow

When not in the mood for sticky lotion in the summer, opt for this dry oil, scented with cucumber...it's light, airy, and gives you a sweet summer glow!

Creed | Virgin Island Water

My best kept secret, my perfume. I've been wearing this since high school, and it's become a smell my friends and family know me by. It's unique, it's light, it's summer year round. It's the Caribbean tropics brought to wherever you are. Indulge in this, or any Creed scent for that matter. They are all divinely made. (Great mixed with the Kai Body Glow, too!)

Chakra Balancing Roll-ons

Carried at Whole Foods, an oil for each chakra, these scents help you find and maintain balance throughout your busy day - my personal go to is the heart chakra oil, for compassion and understanding.

Imagine the pink sand beaches of bermuda have come to your nails, with glimmering pearls of white intertwined.

Summer Solstice Mantra

Happy Summer Solstice! The summer season is upon us, and is marked by the longest day of the year. Tomorrow we will receive sun, sun, sun, and more sun! Shining down upon us, late into the evening. The culmination of our growing light from winter, through spring, coming to it's apex. We have traveled, explored, rearranged, reawakened, and opened ourselves up to receive this enlightenment. To receive this long day, filled with celebration. Filled with joy, laughter. The light pours over us, covering us in it's glory. Giving us the utmost time to enjoy, to live freely in jubilance. 

So set yourself free, if not always, at least tomorrow! Let the light in, let it seep into your bones, into your soul. Let that richness and fullness cover you head to toe. And then share this light. Share your light. 

Summer Solstice Mantra: I am a being of light and love. I receive freely, openly, and playfully. I am the truest form of myself, and my authenticity and uniqueness shines. I bask in the sun, in the shining light. I bask in the universes' unwavering support. I feel whole. I feel connected. I feel open. I feel radiant. I celebrate the journey that brought me to this glorious summer day. I am a catalyst of light and love.
