Summer Essentials & $25 to Smile Brilliant!

Despite how much I complain about the humidity and sweating while walking to work, I’m a summer girl at heart. Few things make me feel more like myself than a sun kissed glow and cutoff shorts! I’m linking my summer essentials below and offering you a $25 coupon so you can snag one of my favorite items for yourself! 

Garnier BB Cream:  I tan extremely easily and it takes a lot of unprotected sun exposure for me to burn, but since skin cancer runs in my family I need to be careful. I like wearing Garnier BB cream with SPF 25 under my face makeup every day to help protect my skin from the sun while I’m walking to and from work or strolling around town. I wear medium/deep in the spring and summer and light/medium once my tan starts to fade. 

Smile Brilliant: I started whitening my teeth last winter with Smile Brilliant and have loved my results! (You can see my full review and before/after pictures here.) While I’ve already gone through the main whitening process, I still use Smile Brilliant a few times a week because I am a serial red wine and coffee drinker and don’t want the stains to come back! You can get $25 off your own at-home whitening kit here and view the benefits of whitening with custom trays here. 

Denim Shorts: finding a pair of denim shorts that don’t scream mom length but yet don’t show your butt cheeks is really hard. After searching high and low last summer, I discovered these Levi’s 501 shorts and now own them in two colors! I should have snagged a white pair earlier this season but definitely plan on getting another pair in a different wash 

Lightweight Tees: I used to hate graphic tees, but now I love how versatile they are and how breathable the cotton is during the summer! I snagged this tee up from Whistle & Wild and ordered a size up so I could knot it or blouse it with highwaisted pants

Don’t forget to claim your $25 coupon to Smile Brilliant and I hope this summer is shaping up to be your best yet!
