End of Summer Treats
August 1, 2017
Â
Â
Â
Summer is fading away (much like our tans and shiny hair...). To me, that signals time for a little self pampering in preparation for the school year ahead.

 So here are a few things I like to do for myself before school starts.  These little end of summer treats can fit any budget. I have no affiliation with these products... just my personal experience.
Â
1. Â HIGH END: Â Get a mani/pedi
   LOW END:  Give yourself a coat of nail polish
Â
Did you guys notice all of the white-ish nails all over the place this summer. Â That's right. Â The color of the season was a shade of white with creamy undertones. Â
Â
O.P.I It's in the Cloud
Â
My personal favorite was Essie's Tuck It in the Tuck. Â It has a hint of pink in it. Â

Â
Â
Both of these are pretty sheer. Â I recommend 3 coats!
Â
2. Â HIGH END: Deep conditioning at the salon
   LOW END: Hair mask at home
Â
For my at home hair mask best pick, I chose It's a 10. Â It made my hair feel ultra silky. Â It is a splurge at $30 a pop, but I just saw it at Target for $25.
Â
 Of course, many swear by coconut oil for a hair mask.  I consider it the Windex of this century.  (Did you catch the My Fat Greek Wedding reference?)
Â
Â
Â
3. FREE: Meditate
Â
I have found from personal experience that meditation keeps me focused, centered, improves my posture and asthma, and keeps my heart rhythm in check. Â You can meditate for 5 minutes a day and see the difference. Â Wouldn't you want to spend 5 minutes of your day to make you feel awesome the other 1,435Â minutes? Â Seems like a good investment to me.
Â
Also, there are a ton of meditation videos on you tube. Â Some of them are for specific goals: relaxation, concentration, sleep, anxiety, depression, stress relief... Â you name it!
