As the temperatures rise we reach for our favorite drink. Sometimes that drink isn’t a wise choice. Few will ever hydrate our bodies in the hot summer months. Many of us (myself included) have to trick our brains into thinking that our high calorie friends aren’t so bad after all - mine is Red Bull.
Once, when I spent a weekend at the Trump Tower they had this delicious treat every morning, fruit-water and I kept drinking more and more of it. I took a few mental notes and have served it at every get-together and special occasion since. It really has a way of making guests feel very special AND keeping them very well hydrated.
Above, in the collage are MY FAVORITE combinations that I have found to keep the options fresh:

PUT A LITTLE BEAUTY INTO YOUR SUMMER
After hearing a raving review from my trusted blogger Tanya Burr I rushed out to Sephora and purchased NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. I guess that I didn't need much convincing because everything I hear and have experienced about this brand has been worth the designer price tag.
The purchase was made and I immediately went home to give it a try and found that a little bit of this product definitely goes a long way. My skin looked like glass and it looked so natural. I'm hopeful to hear others experience with the product and reviews.
What it is:
A glowing, satin-finish foundation with sheer and buildable coverage.
What it does:
This Sheer Glow Foundation enhances, without masking, your overall natural complexion. The weightless formula hydrates the skin while complexion brightening properties improve skin brightness, radiance, and texture, leaving skin with a luminous, sensual glow.
