Summer is in full swing!
This weekend we took full advantage of the AMAZING weather. We drove down to the Red River Gorge and hiked on Saturday – it was 80, breezy, and no humidity. Fantastic! Then on Sunday morning I went to the UK Arboretum for a run and ran some errands (my husband was working).
So for a change of pace I wanted to share some random things that have been on heavy rotation this summer. No overarching theme or topic, just some summer favorites to share!
My Yeti – I always have a Yeti by my side. I mean ALWAYS! Around the house, in the car, or at work. I love having cold water when it’s so hot and nothing compares with these guys. My monogrammed one is a personal favorite!
Setting Powder – with this heat I’ve been relying really heavily on my Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. Applying this on my t-zone every morning really helps keep any shine at bay! 100% essential in the summer if you ask me. (This is the brush I use)
Smoothies – protein powderI’ve been on a smoothie kick most mornings! It’s a great way to get some veggies without weird in the AM. My current recipe is a handful of frozen spinach, scoop of , half a banana and some milk. Blend and you’re ready to go! It’s a refreshing way to start the day (and I’m drinking one right now haha).
Peplum Tank – I have two of these tanks (pictured above and in this post) and I wear them so often! They’re perfect for work under a jean jacket or light sweater, and on their own on the weekends. This and this are similar if you’re looking for something like it!
Nike Baseball hat – every weekend, every workout, and many nights I’m wearing a black Nike hat! I love how you can “hide” in hats and also cover up bad hair. If you see a person running errands wearing a black baseball hat (and looking like me) it’s probably me!
I wanted to end with a bit of a preview for this week – I’ll be posting about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale once it starts (for cardholders) on Thursday. We’ll be traveling back to MN so I’ll try and get something up from the airport or the plane! If you missed it, I shared some tips in Friday’s post.
I’m super excited for a short week and a few days off. I haven’t taken a day off since MAY! So it’s long overdue and with how busy work has been I’m ready to decompress for a few days. Be sure to follow along on IG (@helen.loves) for everything we’re up to this week!
