Pink is here to stay! At least for now. . .

Pink for summer 2017 has taken on many forms for the warm weather season. While the runways gave us blush, aka “Pale Pink,” aka “Millennial Pink” (why do they get their own color?), and also bright pink; the streets have given us pink in every shade imaginable. Seriously though, why does the Millennial generation have their own color? If they get their own color, those of us in GenX should have our own color too! Right?? Ugh, but I digress, we are chatting about pink for summer 2017.

Designers showed pink in every way, shape, and form, for the warm weather season.  This means, we can rock the pink trend through apparel, accessories, and/or beauty products. Love that!

pink beauty products: lipstick / bright pink nail polish / medium pink nail polish

Of course pink nail polish is an easy way to rock the pink trend everyday of the week without having to think about incorporating pink into our wardrobes. As pretty as pale pink nail polish is for summer, I prefer medium and bright pink hues.When it comes to lipstick, any shade of pink looks amazing in my humble opinion.

Although designers have been steering towards mirrored silver accessories as we move into 2017, rose gold is still relevant and on trend. Rose gold is amazing because it blends with any shade of pink; or works as a way to rock the pink trend if you don’t want to actually wear pink. There is also something fresh about rose gold since it has not been as on trend as it is right now, in a few decades. This could be why I am so drawn to rose gold. Addicted!

Summer is throwing us some really warm temperatures this year! We had close to a week of high 90’s and low 100’s here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and it was torture! We went from high 60’s and low 70’s to a heat wave in no time flat. It is hard to go to such high temps without a ramp up period in the 80’s! haha

Since the weather has been so warm, I quickly organized my wardrobe to more of a July/August capsule rather then a “June Gloom” mix of clothing. When the weather is really hot, wearing something modest enough for church can be a challenge. I was so happy to find this spaghetti strap dress, which I am using as a jumper, for the summer season.

This pretty floral jumper is easy to throw over a tee and wear to church on Sundays; or any day of the week! The fabric is lightweight, and the silhouette is breezy. There is even a side slit, which doesn’t go too high, on one side. This makes the jumper easy to wear when temperatures soar. Love that!

For more casual days this summer, I plan to wear this outfit with my Cult Gaia bag and flip flops, or even a small cross body bag such as the Chloe Faye. It will also be good for travel this summer since the fabric doesn’t seem to wrinkle. This is all fabulous considering it was under $50!!

What deals have you scored this summer for beating the heat?

EOS shave cream review

EOS shave cream review

EOS shave cream is a fabulous, affordable way to smoother legs! Unless you have lasered all your hair off, chances are, you shave your legs. These four fabulous smelling shaving creams from EOS are a great way to shave in the shower!

Since I grew up as a competitive swimmer, shaving was an important ritual. Before every important swim meet, such as state championships or nationals, I would shave my legs and my arms. Over time, I ended up testing out several shaving creams throughout the years, so when I find one which is conditioning, and non-drying, I take notice.

EOS shaving cream is a rich, non-foaming shave cream which allows you to see what you are shaving, while providing the exact protection you need to keep your legs safe from your razor. This shave cream is packed with conditioning oils, shea butter, vitamin E, and vitamin C. As a result, my legs are smooth and stubble-free. Love!

One feature I love with EOS shave cream is that the bottle is a pump. This makes it really easy to use in the shower since you don’t have to worry about the bottle slipping out of hands during application. The pump really is ingenious.

My favorite scent is the Tropical Fruit, followed by Vanilla Bliss. That being said, all four scents are amazing. I also love that EOS shave cream is priced under $5 each! Love that!

You can find EOS shave cream online here. Which scent is your favorite?
