Hey lovelies! How are you all doing? If you're from the UK you'll probably be sitting in front of a fan reading this right now! How crazy has this weather been the past couple of weeks? The summer really is starting for us so I thought I would do the I heart Summer Tag! I will try and link as many products as possible in the answers!
1. Favorite bronzer for summer?
The best bronzer I have found so far this Summer is the Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades Way to Go bronzer! I love the fact there are 4 different shades to use on the same block. It is the perfect bronzer to have if you are going on holiday or just generally enjoying tanning yourself in the garden! With the choice of shades to use it will go with your skin tanned or not! With a price tag of £4.19 you can't really go wrong!
2. You're relaxing in a hammock, on a tropical island. What are you sipping on? (Favorite summer drink)
I'm quite boring when it comes to keeping cool with a drink and will happily sip on Ice Water all day, however, in the name of not being a boring berty i'll give my second favourite too. Not that it is too much more exciting but I love Diet, Sugar free lemonade. I can't handle caffeine or too much sugar as my stomach is extremely sensitive but thorw some ice in a glass and fill it up with some Diet Lemonade and i'll be one happy girly relaxing in a hammock, ha.
3. Favorite summer lip product?
Easy! Without a doubt my favourite lip product has to be Nivea Essential Care Lip Balms! They have such a great range to chose from. With the weather being so hot lately dehydration happens a lot faster than we are used too. Let's face it once we need a drink our lips are normally one of the first to dry out and start to crack. I find that these lip balms are perfect for fighting against the sun and make your lips feel fabulous.
4. Pool or Beach?
This is a hard one to choose. I love the pool. It's simple, no fish, no seaweed and not too much worrying about people being swept away by the tide! However my little girls absolutely loves the seaside! We are actually going next Sunday as its her birthday and its what she has asked to do. So personally I prefer the pool but I think I'll go with the beach for this one purely because I love seeing my little girl so happy.
5. Summer = crazy hair! What's your must-have styling product?
I try not to wash my hair too much during the Summer as you sweat more and I find that you're forever washing your hair! So whenever I decide to take on the task of washing my hair I giving it some extra love by using L'oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Treatment. This treatment instantly brings my hair back to life and give it back some strength. It's no good for your hair to have it up in a bun or pony tail every day but who wants hair flapping around their face in the heat? I certainly don't. So by using this treatment I find I can get away with being a little naughty with my hair.
6. Sun bathing or fake tan?
I can honestly say I have never used fake tan. I just don't like the look or smell of it. If I have a tan naturally then great! But normally i'm happy walking around like a ghost.
7. Favorite summer nail polish?
To be totally honest with you I don't have a favourite! There isn't a colour that I want to wear over and over. However I have been loving the Collection Hot Look Nails collection! They have so many different shades that I'd love to get my hands on and wear. For £1.99 each I don't think that will be a problem! They also claim to dry in 60 seconds which is always good when you have kiddies running around and need to paint them quickly! I can't honestly tell you if they do dry in 60 seconds as I've never sat down and timed it but when I have use them, they never take too long to dry! Woo hoo!
8. Any summer traditions?
The seaside! We live in a small town outside of London and have no coast near us. So every year when my Dad would get time off work we would always plan a day to go to the seaside. Even now that I don't live at home we still go every year. As I said a little way back, we are going next Sunday as its my daughters birthday and I couldn't be more excited. I just won't be venturing too far into the water. Incase you couldn't tell by the 'Pool or Beach' question I'm not really that confident at all when it comes to the sea!
9. Favorite summer scent?
Natural Collection Wild Strawberry body spray! I love this scent! I actually use it to spray on my bed sheets as well as my clothes! I love the smell of fresh fruits. It gives off such a lovely summery vibe and its not too over powering. My partner isn't a fan of strong perfumes but he's never complained of this body spray so far so that would be a win in my eyes!
10. Favorite BBQ food?
I admit it. I'm a burger girl. I love hot dogs don't get me wrong but there is nothing better that a nice meaty bap! I'm not fussy if its lamb, pork, beef or chicken but it has to be in burger form! First runner up would have to be a good pasta salad! Got to look lady like some of the time right? Ha.
11. What's your favorite summer-proof product?
For my 'summer-proof product' I have decided to go with Beach Matt Texturizing Spray. I find that it styles your hair perfectly for the messy/beachy look and it seems heat proof. No matter how hot I have gotten over the last couple of weeks i've found that when I have sprayed this into my pony tail for some extra style/ volume it has held well. Heat styling really isn't working for me at the moment so if the messy/beach look is going to hold then it is going to be my look for the summer.
12. Any summer vacation plans this year? No plans? Tell us about your dream summer trip!
This year we haven't got any big plans. What with Daryl working and little man on the way we need to stay close to home. I have got a baby shower planned in August which I am looking forward too. I just hope the heat calms down a bit by then! Wouldn't want to pass out at my own baby shower, talk about making a scene! I think mainly this summer will be about spending quality time with Keira since its going to be the last one just the two of us!
