1. Bronzer: Use a bronzer to add warmth and dimension to your complexion. Choose a shade that is one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone and apply it to areas where the sun would naturally hit your face, such as your forehead, cheeks, and nose. Blend well for a seamless, sun-kissed effect.

2. Illuminating Primer: Start your makeup routine with an illuminating primer to give your skin a subtle glow from within. This will create a luminous base for your foundation and help enhance the overall radiance of your complexion.

3. Tinted Moisturizer or Light Coverage Foundation: Embrace a natural-looking base by opting for a tinted moisturizer or a light coverage foundation. These products allow your skin to breathe while providing a sheer coverage that evens out your skin tone and gives a fresh, dewy finish.

4. Cream Highlighter: Apply a cream highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. This will add a soft, ethereal glow and make your skin appear lit from within.

5. Peachy Blush: Choose a peachy blush shade to add a healthy flush of color to your cheeks. This warm hue complements the sun-kissed look and adds a natural vibrancy to your complexion. Lightly brush some at the inner eye and on your nose!

6. Glossy Lips: Opt for glossy lips with a tinted lip balm or a lip gloss in shades of peach, coral, or sheer nude. This will give your lips a plump, hydrated look and complete your fresh, summer makeup.

Food and Drinks:

Delve into the culinary world of refreshing summer recipes, delicious BBQ ideas, and trendy beverages to cool you down on hot summer days.

Here’s a summer green bean salad that I learned while visiting France.  Buy 1 ⁄ 2 lbs fresh string green beans.  Wash and then blanch them.  (Boil water,  at a rapid boil place green beans in the water for 5 minutes just long enough to make them tender but not mushy) drain. And chill long enough so you can handle them.  While chilling cut up a small-medium size red onion you need at least ½ c.  Cut up a ½ of tomato or red pepper. Whichever you prefer.  Toss all ingredients in a medium bowl.  In a small bowl or glass measuring cup at equal parts (I usually do a 1 ⁄ 4 c of olive oil, Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar. Mix well with a whisk and add salt and pepper to taste. ) pour over all ingredients and mix chill in the refrigerator at least an hour before serving (it is better the longer you marinate in the refrigerator). Serve with a little feta crumble and or prosciutto or bacon crumble on top!! Adds a wow; it’s simple and the time to make it is really 1 hour 20 due to chilling. Enjoy!!

Entertainment:

Uncover the latest movie releases, music hits, and binge-worthy TV shows but turn your backyard into the ultimate cinema!  Invite your friends to a “watch party” in the backyard!
