Summer Style Secrets

This summer, I'm really looking forward to getting away on 

a few quick trips with some of my close friends.  

As a wife and mother, its so hard to find the time
for quality "girl time".  

 One of the many things I miss from my younger years, 

is the sharing of information that comes 

with living in a dorm or apartment with your friends.

Some of the best beauty and style tips 

I've ever gotten have come from this time tested method.

Over the summer, I thought it might be fun to 

share style secrets here each Wednesday.

To get the ball rolling,
I will be sharing a few of my own summer beauty
"secret weapons" here today.

1.  Rene Furterer Emulsion Control

This is hands down the best stuff
when it comes to controlling the "summer frizz".
Lately it seems that Moroccan Oil
has been getting all the buzz,
( I do use that as well)
but, when the air gets really sticky around here,
I always return to this product.
Its incredibly light weight, almost odorless,
and it really smoothes things down nicely.

2.  Virgin Island Water by Creed

A lovely and intoxicating light
weight blend of coconut, white rum, bergamot and musk.
If you can't be vacationing in the islands all summer long,
why not just smell like it?

3.  Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

For me, this is THE best moisturizer in the world.
The fact that it's odorless,
and available at almost every supermarket
and drugstore chain, makes it all the better.
In a pinch, I will even use a small dab
on my hair to keep away the mid day frizz.

4.  Lantershine Lip Protector

This incredible lip balm was given to me by a friend
 a few years ago.  I have been addicted to it ever since.
Goes on clear and shiny with the slightest hint
of golden shimmer.
Protects against chapped and sunburned lips.

Items 1,2, and 3 can all be found here.
# 4 can be found here.

I hope you enjoyed my summer style secrets...
Over the next few weeks
I'll be asking some of my favorite bloggers
to share some of their style secrets as well.

What are some of yours?
