5 Things I’m Loving June 2021

 

Can you believe it is already June? I hope you enjoyed a nice Memorial Day and the unofficial start to summer. I love summer, it really is my favorite time of year. Life seems to be returning to a little bit of normalcy. It has been so nice to enjoy the warmer weather and be out in the gardens. My strawberry pot has really taken off and I had to already re-pot it. I can’t wait for some tasty strawberries. My herb pots are growing like crazy too. These make me so happy.

It has been nice to catch up with friends and enjoy some girl time. I had not seen one of my dearest friends since last September, and it was just wonderful to get together, enjoy a leisurely lunch and wander some local boutiques. I have really missed the time spent with friends this last year. Next week, I am heading to Palm Beach for a little Lilly Pulitzer girls trip. I am really looking forward to a little shopping, cocktails, beach, and friendship.

Here are 5 things I am loving for June. Everything you need for summer decorating, beauty, and fashion. These are my go-to products for this month and I’m sure all summer.

Beauty Society Undercover Blue Light Protection Mist. We are all sitting in front of computer screens more and this spray provides protection from harmful blue light rays. Very hydrating and luxurious. I keep a bottle at my desk at all times and spritz my face often when I am sitting in front of the computer.

ByTerry skincare. I keep going on about this line, but it is just that good. These three products are in my everyday rotation as well as the moisturizer and mask. The rose scent alone makes me love the product but they are powerhouses. My skin feels so soft and under control. Summer tends to aggravate my skin and these just calm it down. Make sure to check out my full review of luxury skincare on YouTube.

Initial Outfitters by Carrie acrylic mini-me collection. I love fun bright jewelry for summer. These acrylic pieces are so fun. Available in 20 different colors of necklaces and earrings and all personalized with a single initial. I plan to mix and match colors and wear these all season. Perfect with sundresses.

Juliska Seaside Estate plates. I was looking for a new design for my summer dining table when I came across these in a boutique. So fun and that became my new summer dining table design starting point. Exactly what I was looking for and they coordinate with any color palette. This video shows how I created my summer dining table.

Summer accessories. I’m heading to the beach and great accessories are a must. The pom pom sunhat from Initial Outfitters by Carrie will be fun for the beach or really anytime. It will match everything. A great pair of Lilly Pulitzer sandals are a must for all of the walking I will be doing. I don’t leave home without a tote. This tote from Lilly Pulitzer caught my eye. The print is all summer to me.

Luxury Skincare Review

 

I can’t believe Memorial Day is this weekend. The year is flying by. We will probably enjoy the weekend working in the yard and enjoying a barbeque. I love this time of year, everything just tastes better on the grill. My herb pots are taking off, and I enjoy picking herbs for my cooking from right outside my kitchen door. I have already had to replant my strawberries. They were outgrowing their pot. Summer decorating has begun, and I will share that in a future blog and vlog on my YouTube channel as well. I have changed up a few areas in the house. I added a console table to the landing and styled it with pieces I already had. The table was an Amazon find, and I am so happy with it. Little changes can make a big difference. I plan to get out with friends and family and enjoy everything that summer has to offer.

Luxury skincare. It is something that I treat myself to. If your skin is healthy, there really is no need for makeup. I have become so used to not wearing any, and I really like the natural look. A few products and a few minutes are just what I need.

Colleen Rothschild products are products that I have been using for a couple of years. I use the Balancing Gel Cleanser and Micro Mineral Toner combination every night. They leave your skin feeling clean and not stripped. The toner is so soothing to the skin. I also use Facial Oil No. 9 at night mixed with my current moisturizer. Recently, the hair collection was launched. I love this line as well. The scent is amazing too.  I suggest trying the Discovery Kit. It has a little of everything and a perfect way to try the line. Once you try it, you will be hooked.

ByTerry is a line new to me. Lydia Elise Millen recommended it, and I am so glad I listened. Pure luxury. I have been using the Baume de Rose collection. Sometimes rose scented products can be overpowering and chemical-like. These are the exact opposite. The fragrance is light and luxurious. If I have any makeup on, I use the Baume de Rose Bi-Phase Makeup Remover before my Colleen Rothschild cleanser. I use the Baume de Rose Micellar Water every morning followed by Baume de Tose Beauty Toner. The toner has actual rose petals in it. Baume de Rose Face Cream mixed with a small amount of the CC Brightening cream is my last step. The Baume de Rose Glowing Mask is amazing. Your skin looks lit from within. I am really impressed with all of these products and appreciate that even the makeup is infused with skincare. This line has become my new go-to.

Chanel skincare is always a classic. When my skin is feeling stressed, which it tends to do in the warmer months, I reach for La Solution 10 de Chanel. A sensitive skin cream that calms and soothes my skin. Also great after treatments or Microderm. Sunscreen is a must, and I use the UV Essentiel every day. It’s an anti-pollution broad-spectrum SPF 50. Many times I will mix this in with my moisturizer and CC cream. The Lip Balm came with this set, and it is luxurious.

These are the go-to products that I use daily. A few good products are really all you need. I don’t want to have to do 10 steps every morning and evening for a great skincare routine. What products are you loving? I am always looking for new skincare products to try. Visit my YouTube channel for a Luxury Skincare Video.

Until next week,

Carrie
