Laguna Beach Trip Essentials

I just arrived in Laguna Beach so I figured there is no better time to share my beach trip essentials than now! As you know from my recent post, The Base of My Daily Beauty Routine I never leave home without lip balm especially when I’m headed somewhere extra cold or in this case extra sunny. I love using Vaseline Lip Therapy because obviously it works great, but also because I love all of the different scents! I especially love the Aloe and the Cocoa Butter for the beach, which are both available at Target. The only problem is I can never find my lip balm floating around the bottom of my handbag when I need it. Fortunately, Gigi New York and Vaseline worked together to create the perfect solution...leather holders with a key chain! Not only are they functional and convenient, but they also come in fun, bright colors. Plus you can have them personalized with your initials so you never have to search for your lip balm in your handbag endless pit of crap again!

Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see the rest of my beach trip essentials.

Good Morning readers, when it comes to your weekend essentials, what do you find most important to pack in your purse or travel bag? Do some of those essentials include touchup makeup, sunscreen, sunglasses, flip-flops or a clutch to go out in the evening? Those are just a few mine! I’m kind of a “bag lady” who always carries everything and anything that someone or myself might possibly maybe need! I’m always forgetting to do something before I leave the house and I always realize it as I’m heading out the door. That’s why I’m all about on-the-go products like nail polish remover pads and mini deodorants that fit in my purse!

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths are another one of my go-to quick skin essentials. After a long day of photo shoots, the beach or driving all over the city for meetings, I usually have smudged eyeliner and mascara all around my eyes and dirt trapped beneath my makeup. (Hey, it happens!) That’s one of the reasons why I love packing along my Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths because I can just use them to wipe all of the makeup off of my face conveniently from my car or wherever I am and start my makeup over fresh before I head to dinner or my next occasion. It’s just like washing your face except without a sink because the cloths are conveniently pre-moistened. They easily remove makeup and dirt, leaving your skin clean, refreshed and balanced! If you’re a girl on the go like me, then you’ll love having these Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Cloths at your fingertips!

Top 5 Tips for Preventing Summer Breakouts:

1) Make sure to keep your skin Hydrated! Cetaphil’s Daily Advance Lotion is sure to keep your skin ultra hydrated and moisturized which is perfect for this summer heat!

2) Avoid using heavy liquid foundation during the day time on top of your sunscreen. Go for a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 instead and finish with a translucent mineral powder.

3) Don’t skip out on washing your face each night at morning. I even recommend using a Clarisonic or deep exfoliant to make sure that you’re getting all of the dirt and bacteria that gets trapped under your makeup and moisturizer.

4) Don’t pile more makeup on top of the makeup that you’ve been wearing all day.  Keep Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Cloths on hand for when you don’t have time to stop at home to remove your makeup before reapplying to out in the evening.

5) Keep in mind that changes in the weather also come with changes in your skin so you may need to alter your skin care routine to help your face adapt to the weather. That could mean adding a few more steps to your routine or even skipping a few steps. Just find what works best for you by experimenting with your products.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful three-day weekend. I kind of took a five day weekend considering that I didn’t post these past two days. I really don’t have a good excuse as to why I didn’t post the past couple of days except for pure laziness. I just really need a beach vacation! Oh, what I would give to be sitting on the beach with A Pinch Of Lovely right now like in these photos!

What’s Haute Now: Mara Hoffman Ponchos! My favorite part about these Mara Hoffman beach coverups is that they double as dresses! Not to mention that her detailed and colorful prints are amazing! You can always spot out a unique Mara Hoffman print in a crowd.  Just throw on pair of wedges and a bandeau to take your look from beach to night or even just from the pool to lunch.  You’ll be turning heads wherever you end up in Mara Hoffman’s one of kind prints!

Head over to A Pinch Of Lovely for details on her outfit!

Good Morning readers, in case you didn’t notice I didn’t include a full body photo of this look because I did an awful job styling this outfit. However, I love this skort and these two handbags so I thought the rest of the photos were still worth sharing! Remember when I wore this Kelly Wynne handbag here–> Transitional In Pink I am just loving white accessories for spring especially white handbags and shoes. White accessories always add a crisp and refreshing  twist to your outfits.
