This post is inspired by the lovely Danielle Peazer. Check out her Poolside Essentials below:)

For my poolside essentials, I usually just go for a black Xoxo sports bra, my favorite pair of Danskin blue shorts( the comfiest things in the whole world, I might add!) and some waterproof mascara. I don't wear a lot of makeup on vacation, just a bit of concealer or face tanning spray to use presentable and pretty. Then I go in with a couple layers of Clinque Waterproof Mascara, which is the bomb! If you haven't already, you NEED to invest in a good waterproof mascara. It's a great thing to have around, during the summer for minimal, lazy makeup days or when swimming/at the beach.

Blue Mountain +Cynthia Ryley Summer Blues

This outfit is one of my first go-to's in summer. It's comfortable but stylish at the same time. I love the color blue and if you were to go through my wardrobe, you'd find more than 5 outfits with this color! When I found this Blue Mountain shoes at Kohls, I was delighted to match them with my blue top and skirt.

Workout Must- Haves & Fav Videos

I absolutely LOVE working out! It's my ultimate go-to when I'm tired, moody, or feeling depressed, or anxious. It makes me feel so good and strong, and so much more ready for my day. I've been working out for over three years now; and the loads of different videos I've done have completely transformed my body. I've gone from feeling bloated, exhausted, and looking fat to feeling amazing, strong, and looking toned. In particular, I enjoy doing Danielle's dance workouts, as well as her squats and abs videos. Check them out above:)

I love wearing Reebok sports bras and shorts and my trusty pair of Perform Tennis Shoes have been with me for quite some time. I don't normally wear makeup during my workouts, as it causes pimples and is really bad for your skin. No one wants to have their bright pink blush mixing with sweat and running down their face-yikes. If I've having a day where I want to look pretty, I'll just wear a bit of concealer, mascara, and lipstick.

4th Of July Nail Art + My New Pedi Products

Hello loves! I'm super excited for 4th of July, how about you? We are planning to have a BBQ and do fireworks here with our friends. And I have the perfect patriotic outfit, some

jean shorts, white sandals, and blue and red American t-shirt. I will post pictures of this tomorrow! But for now, although it's not officially 4th of July, I'm going to share my nail art for this special day. I never realized how much I love red nail polish until I finally used it yesterday. I usually tend to go for light, neutral colors and light blues. So, it was fun to switch it up and go for a bit more of a bold nail look. I used NYC long wear Red-orange nail polish and some sparkly red, white, and blue nail polish from Walmart. For my toes, I painted a light blue first and then put the sparkle color on over top, after it had dried.

And also I'm going to share some about my new Pedi products from Essie.  If you know anything about me, you know I've struggled with rough,cracked heels for like forever. Well, since I've started using this Pedi file and their foot cream, my feet have been so much smoother and softer. I also love using my scrub I mentioned in an earlier post before the lotion. Then I put on some fluffy socks and climb into bed, waking up to soft, sexy feet in the morning:) If you have similar problems, you MUST check these products out. They're very affordable and good quality.

Chat later- much love!

My Obsession With The Hadid Sisters

So, I know I've mentioned Gigi Hadid in a previous post about my admiration for her style, But I just couldn't help myself from writing a longer post on both the sisters. Because, for real, what isn't to love about these two beauties? Not only are they drop-dead gorgeous and have amazing style, but they also are kind, down-to-earth, and hilarious! I've been watching pretty much non-stop Ask Gigi videos, interviews, and makeup videos. And my adoration for them just continues to grow. I love how Gigi is the fun, happy sister with the beautiful blond hair and Bella is the melancholy, bad-ass one with the lovely dark hair. I admire their real, genuine attitude and how they don't endorse starving yourself to look good. They work out and eat clean, but also know how to have a good cheat day when they want too:)  And I'm not even going to mention how cute their little brother is :)

Sophia Smith Makeup & Style
