Spring Beauty Favorites

Dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream. I love the Dae classic shampoo and conditioner so I was inspired to try this product too. It smells amazing and keeps those flyaways in check. I see lots of slicked-back buns in my future come summer. 

Self-Tanning Oil Mist. I have not tried this - full disclosure - but I'm intrigued. I've used the Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops, and they give a nice subtle glow. This spray looks interesting. I may have to give it a try and report back.

Sunscreen. Sunscreen is a must all year, but especially now that I’m outside more often. Glow Screen is my favorite to put on under my make up or even wear on its own on a lazy summer day. Gives you a subtle glow. Stocking up now! 

Sandals & My Favorite Spring Accessory

Sunglasses. I might have a bit of an obsession with buying sunglasses. It’s hard to resist a cute pair of sunnies, especially pairs at a great price point. I have these in several colors. 

Sandals. Birkenstocks are my favorite spring and summer shoe. I can’t wait to break them out of my closet. I’m thinking of investing in a new pair this year, possibly the gold. 

New Books & An Old Favorite Podcast

Books. I’ve been in a bit of a book slump lately, but I’m counting the days until Emily Henry’s new book, Happy Place, is released (4/25). I love all of Emily Henry’s books. I’m also super excited for Carly Fortune’s new book, Meet Me at the Lake (5/2). Her previous book, Every Summer After, was my favorite read last summer. 

Podcasts. I always feel inspired in spring to take a closer look at my wellness goals. I have been following Kelly LeVeque for years, and have learned so much from her about nutrition and wellness. Her podcast, The Be Well Podcast covers a range of wellness topics with amazing guests. It’s a must-listen for me every week.
