    Multi-Tasking Summer Products on Daytime Chicago

    Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and have fun in the sun. To ensure you look cool and stay comfortable while doing so, here are some multi-tasking products that save time without compromising your glow or glam. 

    First off, let’s get your skin protected for all that fun in the sun. You know, I am obsessed with finding clean, clear, non-sticky formulas, and I have found such a ROCK STAR product! Or rather, Block Star! It’s so easy to work with and has kept me and my son’s skin protected in even the Florida SUN!

    Bliss Block Star Sheer Liquid Daily Sunscreen SPF 50
    PRICE: $28.00
    SHOP: @blissworld.com
    Featherlight, 100% mineral daily sunscreen with a silky sheer, fast-absorbing liquid texture that glides on and blends in quickly for a barely-there feel. With 80-minute sweat & water resistance, the formula is unscented and, has no tint, and is nearly undetectable on the skin, so you can SPF every day.
    Bliss products are free of Parabens, Phthalates, and SLS/SLES. Always Clean, Cruelty-Free, + Dermatologist-Tested. B Corp Certified. 

    Summer gives us a whole new reason to grab some new activewear. I mean, it makes us feel more confident at the gym, right? YES, Losano is celebrity adorned, but it’s also sustainable, super sheer for the heat, and incredibly smoothing and chic. 

    Losano
    SHOP: @losano.com
    At Losano, we seek to create beautiful, high-quality products made from sustainable fabrics that are both good for you and for our planet. We are woman founded, we are creators, we are a team, and we are family. Manufacturing in LA is just the beginning. We’ve thought through every aspect of our process to be more mindful. It’s a conscious design for people and the planet!

    We’re talking about activewear, so let’s discuss your sweaty pits! It’s summer, so we bring in the clinical strength. A quick tip: Put it on before bed at night. It works better. 

    Secret Clinical Antiperspirant/Deodorant
    PRICE: $12.95
    SHOP: @Target
    The Secret Clinical Antiperspirant/Deodorant provides 72 hours of clinically proven sweat and odor protection.

    The Secret Clinical Antiperspirant/Deodorant is made with advanced odor fighters and pH-balancing minerals for incredibly long-lasting protection. Available in Completely Clean, Clean Lavender, and Stress Response.

    This next product is designed for tattoos, and if you have one, you know summer is a time you want to show them off but also protect them from fading and the skin from drying out. This next product has over 22k 5-star reviews, and we tried it out on my sister’s new tattoo, and she is obsessed. 

    Hustle Butter Deluxe
    PRICE: $22.99
    SHOP: @hustlebutter.com
    As moisturizing as it is lavish, Hustle Butter Deluxe is the #1 rated tattoo aftercare product amongst artists with amazing value when tending to both new and older tattoos.

Cruelty-free, vegan, and made with natural ingredients. The best part? The addicting fragrance smells like a tropical vacation.

    And while we are talking about skincare and LUXURY, I am obsessed with this skin-quenching, heat-activated, clean, waterless moisture bar for your face. 

    OPULUS Beauty Labs Daily Moisturizing Concentrates
    PRICE: $105 (2.5 Months Worth)
    SHOP: @opulusbeautylabs.com
    OPULUS Beauty Labs just launched its Daily Moisturizing Concentrates, comprised of waterless, preservative-free, multi-benefit moisturizing bars. It’s super easy to use. Place two squares into the Activator, add water, press the button, and the ingredients are heated and blended to create a fresh skincare treatment that is warm, lightweight, and packed with a potent dose of vitamins and antioxidants for the best results possible.
    There are three types, each with hydrating properties plus other key benefits: 
    *Brightening with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid

    Tonya and I both know the beauty of a clip-in pony! It’s the easiest way to guarantee a sleek hairstyle without worrying about what your REAL hair looks like underneath. Plus, it’s so easy to pull back sweaty, oily hair into a pony.

  • Fall Must-Haves on Suncoast View

    Fall Must-Haves on Suncoast View

    The weather may not drop dramatically on the Suncoast, but we still love to have some fall fun in the sun. We visit our friend Stephanie Roberts on Suncoast View to share some fall must haves that are trending right now! 

    The weather may not change a whole lot, but when it does our hair and our skin FREAK OUT. Whether you grease up at the first shift in temps or you start to look cracky and dry, I’ve got two skincare options below. 

    Humphreys Clarifying Cleansing Pads

    • Dermatologist tested- no alcohol, dyes, sulfates, or gluten- Vegan and cruelty-free

    I’ve been a fan of this next product for so many reasons. First, it’s clinically proven to extend the lifespan of your injectibles. Yep, I said that.  But, it also is an amazing moisture base to skin that works on fine lines and wrinkles AND firms up any lax skin. It’s a must-have any time of the year, but definitely NOW if things are looking a bit cracky and heading south. 

    Theraderm Eternox Peptide Crème
    PRICE: $110
    SHOP: @theraderm.net
    This lightweight crème is formulated with the goal of decreasing the appearance of lax neck skin and reducing forehead wrinkles and other facial lines while moisturizing. Ingredients include our patented Soluble Keratin Peptides to help visibly reduce signs of aging.

    Florida is a hair horror when it comes to weather. In the summer your hair is dry with damage and oily at the root with sweat. In the winter your hair is static-filled from the forced heat and dry from the same elements as in summer. You must find a hair mask, no matter what your hair type is. One of my favorite brands is Davines. They just have something for EVERYONE and their products are clean and affordable.

    Davines Essential Haircare Masks
    PRICE: $38
    SHOP: @us.davines.com

    And last but not least, we all love to use the fall season as an excuse to grab some new shoes and maybe even a boot. This season’s boots are all about a lug heel. Maybe you’re not ready to sport a full on combat look, but check out these Dr. Marten Embury Chelsea Boots in Black.

  • Fall Must Haves on Daytime Chicago

    Fall Must Haves on Daytime Chicago

    When fall comes around, the leaves aren’t the only things that change. We reach for closed-toe shoes, maybe a heavier face cream, and sometimes even switch up our purses. Today, on Daytime Chicago, we show some new trends and tips for making the fall transition even more fun and fabulous.

    Let’s admit it lately, the weather has been all over the place.
    Whether you grease up at the first shift in temps or you start to look cracky and dry, I’m still going to sing the praises of a good clean witch hazel to get your skin balanced and ready for the cold that is inevitably coming. These pads make good skin easy and they are biodegradable.

    Humphreys Clarifying Cleansing Pads
    PRICE: $8.98
    SHOP: @walmart

    Fall and Winter mark the time of year when we tend to sweat a bit less, and maybe even not wash our hair as often. Whatever your routine, you must get your hair ready for the cold snap of winter that is coming soon. Find yourself a good hair and scalp mask now, before the damage is done.
    One of my favorite brands is Davines. They just have something for EVERYONE and their products are clean and affordable.

The kaolin clay, charcoal, salicylic acid, and lactic acid formulation eliminates excess oil and shine, prevents acne blemishes from forming, and tightens pores. Reversion Clarifying Mask leaves skin looking clean, clear and shine-free.

    Thank you, summer fashion, for getting rid of the mini-purse and bringing back the CARRY ALL bag! Yes, we know a big bag can get heavy, so we brought you the coolest ever carry-all backpack from Caminito. AND we couldn’t imagine not throwing one of the brand’s washable, packable handmade beach blankets in the mix too.

    Caminito Mercado Collection – BACKPACK CANASTA
    PRICE: $92
    SHOP: @caminito.co
    Our long awaited Backpack Canasta is here! After many prototypes and lots of your feedback, we landed on a design that offers the secure closure of a zipper as well as the flexibility of an open top bag. Use one or both closures for your different needs. Show off those market goodies or keep it all tucked away. Adjustable leather shoulder straps and a woven carrying handle give you two ways to carry your new favorite bag. Perfectly sized for a full day outing or a trip to the farmer’s market.

    PEZ AZUL – Blanket Roll
    PRICE: $86
    SHOP:Caminito.co
    Woven fish playfully swim along colored bands in our new Pez Azul blanket. The blue tones in the blanket along with a sunny golden band recall warm days spent at the seaside. We hope this blanket brings some summery goodness with you anywhere you go. 
    Our Animales Collection features a variety of woven creatures, each hoping to bring a little joy to your day. This collection makes a great gift for those hard to shop for loved ones in your life. They are big enough for a 2 – 4 person picnic and roll up in thirds for easy transport. The blankets are designed by us at our home base in San Francisco and hand woven in Mexico by skilled artisans. Our leather straps are hand-made by us out of vegetable tanned leather that ages nicely with use.
    Blankets are machine washable on cold gentle cycle, lay flat to dry.
