Happy first day of summer! I can’t believe that summer is already here! I feel like I have been waiting for it for so long that I thought it would never come! In preparation for summer I started thinking about some of my favorite things for summer! I have so many that I thought I would break it down into categories! Today I will be sharing my top 10 Essential Summer Shaklee Items! I have a few other post in the making right now to that are some of my must haves while beating the heat while pregnant during the summer and a few of my favorite summer activities!

When I first came up with this idea for a blog post idea, I knew that I would have a hard time coming up with my top 10 summer essentials. Not because I didn’t have 10 of my favorite things to share but I had a hard time narrowing it down to only 10 things! There are so many great things that come in handy during the summer months that I want to share them all!

No matter where you live, our bodies can really take a beating from summer! We need to make sure that we do everything we can to take care of ourselves. With the sun on our skin, to the chlorine in our hair we need to have the best products around to get us through these hot summer months!

So today I will go over my top 10 essential Shaklee products for summer and share with you some of the reasons I love these products!

Here is my list of my favorite products including a link to where you can get them for yourself! I didn’t necessarily put these in order from my favorite products down because they are all my favorite! But they are in order from right to left and top of bottom from the picture below!

SPF 30 Sun Screen Whether you are young or old our skin needs to be protected from the sun! As you can see, this little sweetpea isn’t going to get burnt by the sun this year or any year after this!
Performance There are so many days that we feel like we get beat by the heat. Having a all natural hydrating drink is perfect on those extremely hot days to make sure we stay hydrated! I sometimes even freeze them into performance pops for Magdalena (I might sneak one here and there as well, they are too good to pass up)!
Life Shake I have a smoothie almost every single morning and I don’t know what I would do without them. It is the best and most refreshing way to start my day!
Energizing Tea I honestly drink this energizing tea every single day, sometimes twice a day (on those days you really need it lol) this is my favotire Pomegranate Lemonade Recipe.
Purifying Shampoo and detangeler is crushal to keeping your hair healthy during the summer months! Especially if you like to spend time in the pool to keep cool!
Shea Butter Cream With as much sun exposure as we get it is so important to make sure that we keep our skin moisturized and this is my favorite lotion ever!
Enfuselle Lip Balm just like our skin we need to keep our lips soft smooth and silky too!
Enfuselle A.M. Time Repair Cream If you aren’t going to use sunscrean everyday it is important that you at least use some on your face! This time repair cream has SPF 15 in it. The perfect amount to keep your skin feeling great and prevent any buring.
Snack Bars There are so many times I am out and about in the middle of the day and in need of a quick bite. This snack bar is just the right about of protein to keep you full until you get home to eat! We also have some amazing Meal Bars as well!
Get Clean Water Pitcher Staying hydrated is probably the most important thing and wrote a whole post on the importance of drinking water here!

There you have it, those are my top 10 summer must haves! The most important thing about the summer is that you enjoy it! These are just a few of the things that help me enjoy my summer to the fullest! I would love to know what some of your summer must haves are?

Can Your Cell Phone Cause Acne?

Did you know that your cell phone can cause facial acne?

If you are anything like me, then most days you are on the phone more times than not. I talk to clients, members, family and friends. It is a good thing I have unlimited talk, text and data otherwise I would have more problems than just unwanted acne.

For the most part my skin is pretty clear, I love to take care of my skin and wash it daily with an amazing product line. So whenever something does appear on my face I can usually find out where it came from. There are a few different reasons why acne can appear and I know that holding a dirty cell phone is one of those reason.

Think about it, you use your cell phone daily and bring it with you everywhere you go. It not only picks up the dirt and dust from your purse or pants but also the oils from your skin. Then without even thinking about it, we place it up to our cheek and hold it there for as long as we need. Sometimes the screen even gets warm and starts to heat up and cause irritation to the skin. Pretty gross, huh?

My mom would always make these hand wipes that we would use around the house. They are made with Basic H (an all natural cleaner) and I love to use this to wipe off my cell phone with. It is amazing the difference it has made since I started cleaning off my phone with these wipes.

They are so easy to make and save you a lot of money. I also use these wipes when I clean the salt off my boots in the winter.

Have you ever had acne on your face and have been able to pin point in down to how it came about? I would love hear some of the other thing that have caused you to break out so I can try to avoid those things as well.

Thanks for following along.

Cleaning Your Tongue

I talked before about keeping your teeth clean, fresh and white. What I didn’t mention was the the importance of cleaning your tongue as well. We spend so much time brushing and flossing our teeth to help keep our smiles big and bright, but nobody even mentation’s our tongue. Our tongue is kind of like the keeper of our mouth, everything that goes into our mouth has to touch our tongue. It is only natural that we should have to clean it regularly as we do our teeth.

Here is a short video explaining just why it is so important.

Do you have or use a tongue cleaner? If so, what kind do you like to use?

I appreciate you sticking with me for these 31 days of Beauty Tips. There are still a lot more to come!

Thinning Your Mascara

Why is it that every time I buy a mascara it seem to last less and less? I feel like they don’t last as long as they use to. It wasn’t until I learned these few simple tricks that I finally started to realize that I was doing it all wrong. Now that I have learned these tricks I just can’t keep them to myself so I thought that I would share them with you now.

Here is a video showing you some of this remarkable tips.

It is very important to change out your mascara every 2 to 3 months. Bacteria can easily slip into your bottle while taking the wand in and out. It will also dry out the mascara faster than it should if it is over used.
