Photo by: The Quench Summer is here and with the sun, heat and sweat comes a desire to keep looking good even when you can’t cool down. Now due to the change in season and temperature, you probably won’t be using all of the same beauty products that you did during winter or even spring. That’s where we come in: here’s our list of beauty essentials for the warm, summer months to keep you looking and feeling good. Makeup While your core makeup may stay the same, this is something that changes from season to season. From colors to texture and more, switching up your makeup helps you try new things and find the best product for that time of year.  Photo by: In The Frow The first essential for your summer makeup look is a lightweight foundation. This is crucial in the heat since when you sweat, the light foundation won’t mess up your skin like a heavier one could. Aveda has their Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture product that comes in different tones with organic in...

March is officially here, which means that Spring isn’t far behind. Before we get there though, it’s that time of year where many people travel for a week to escape to get a break from the cold weather: Spring Break. Now this annual migration is popular among college students, but we’re not talking about a Spring Breakers type situation for your getaway. We’re talking about a rejuvenating, family friendly Spring vacation. So, if you are traveling this time of year, we compiled your very own packing guide.  At this point, you’ve got your destination picked out and it’s most likely somewhere warm and sunny. Although depending on where you’re going, it may not be 80 degrees every day. The temperature could fluctuate and get down to the 60s, especially at night.  Tip 1: Prepare for the weather and pack a variety of clothing options.   Of course, the essentials like shorts, short sleeve shirts, and tank tops will make their way into your suitcases, but you sho...

        This time of year is filled with holiday themed music, and one of the songs you’re most likely to hear in some way or form is the “12 Days of Christmas.” You know, the one that lists all the presents some lady is getting for 12 days of Christmas. Well, that song was the inspiration behind this blog post, because we decided to take that popular tune and turn it into the 12 Days of Aveda, featuring Aveda’s special gift packages for the holiday season.         On the first day of Aveda, my true love gave to me “A Gift of Rosemary Mint.” This gift set features three rosemary mint products: shampoo, conditioner, and hand/body wash. Each one contains the scent of organic rosemary, peppermint, and other flower and plant essences.       On the second day of Aveda, my true love gave to me “A Gift of Shampure.” With Shampure’s hand/body wash, body lotion, and moisturizing crème, you’ll be able to ...
