This is one summer beauty essential to last year ’round.

To step up your hair styling game try… 

Gold bobby pins, $7 Make your style stand out with a little bling! Secure gorgeous summer braids and waves with this great take on an old classic.

Ultimate Styling tool try…

The Instyler Max 2- Way Rotating Iron, $98- Who has room to pack both their curling iron and straighter when traveling? This Instyler is the best of both worlds in one! I straightens my coarse hair without excess heat and can give me voluminous beach waves, by wrapping it around the rotating cylinder. The Instyler has completely changed my hair routine I’m spending less time in a hot bathroom and more time having fun.

To add volume and texture to your hair try..

Oribe Dry Texturing Spray, $42- It’s a bit pricey, but worth every penny. This product does wonders to add body, volume, and texture.

To moisturize and plump skin without lotion try…

Nip + Fab Hyaluronic Fix Body Gel, $10- Ditch the lotion and try this body moisturizer formulated with vitamin E, powerful hyaluronic acid which bonds moisture to the skin, firms and plumps at the same time. I’ve been using this product for over 6 months and have seen a drastic change in the texture of my skin, especially on my legs. It’s like Botox in a bottle for my body while being lightweight for summer. Hello summer body!
