Summer Well Essentials III

 

Another curated collection of beauty, wellness, travel, and family essentials I'm loving this summer.

 

1. Living with Ivey Body Oil in Huile de Parfum

My favorite summer scent in the most luxurious body oil I've ever used. I've been using Living with Ivey's body oils for months, and I can't get enough. Formulated with antioxidant-rich plant oils and a stable, highly effective form of vitamin C, it deeply nourishes while helping brighten, improve texture, and visibly reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation with consistent use.

The quality is exceptional, and while it's an investment, a little goes a long way. I apply it daily after my body serum or lotion to lock in moisture, support my skin barrier, and leave my skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and glowing. The Huile de Parfum scent is a beautiful, light floral blend of botanical essential oils that's fresh, feminine, and luxurious—the perfect scent for summertime.


 

2. The Skinny Confidential Mint Roller

An ice roller that's perfect for travel. Made with an aluminum roller that stays colder longer, it delivers an instant cooling facial massage to help reduce puffiness, support lymphatic drainage, boost circulation, and leave your skin feeling refreshed, sculpted, and revitalized—whether you're starting your morning or cooling down after a long day in the sun.


 

3. Sarah Creal Just Like Paradise 12H Peptide Sculpting Cream Bronzer

My new favorite bronzer. Sarah Creal's entire line is created for women 40+, with skincare-infused makeup designed to enhance—not mask—the skin you're in.

This silk-cream bronzer is sheer, buildable, and blends effortlessly for the most natural, sun-kissed finish. Powered by proprietary Korean technology, peptides, and nourishing plant extracts, it hydrates while supporting a smoother, firmer, more radiant complexion.

Apply with your fingers or a brush wherever the sun naturally hits your face for a healthy, bronzed look—without the sun damage. I wear shade 2.0, which is perfect for my summer complexion, and may swap to shade 1 during the cooler months.


 

4. Crown Affair The Radiance Hair Oil

I love this hair oil just as much as their Air Dry Mousse. It adds beautiful shine, smooths frizz, and provides heat protection without weighing hair down. Formulated with tsubaki seed oil, watermelon seed oil, and olive oil, it deeply nourishes and hydrates for soft, smooth, glossy hair. Made without artificial dyes, unnecessary fillers, or harsh ingredients, it also comes in a convenient travel size perfect for summer trips.


 

5. Nemah Soothing Skin Spray

I keep a bottle in both my purse and car. Made with pure hypochlorous acid, this gentle, fragrance-free spray helps soothe, refresh, and cleanse skin. I use it after workouts, long days in the sun, and even to clean my kids' faces instead of using baby wipes. It's gentle enough for the whole family—even babies.


 

6. Taylor Dukes Bone Broth Protein Variety Packs

Dairy-free and gut-friendly bone broth protein packets that make it easy to get extra protein while traveling. These are much easier to pack than a large container of protein powder, and the individual packets are the perfect size for tossing into your purse, beach bag, or carry-on for a high-protein snack or light meal wherever you go.


 

7. Hiya Kids Daily Growth + Protein

New from Hiya, one of our favorite kids’ supplement brands. This clean, grass-fed whey protein isolate is designed for growing kids and is easy to add to smoothies, milk, or oatmeal. It provides essential amino acids to support muscle development, plus calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D3 for healthy bones. MCT oil and coconut milk provide sustained energy for sports, camp, and summer adventures.


 

8. Elk and Friends 10oz Stainless Steel Kids Drinking Cups

Made for little hands and everyday sips, these cups are perfect for water, milk, and smoothies at home or on the go. We use them every day. Made from 304 18/8 stainless steel, food-grade silicone, and BPA-free plastic, they are a practical, safe, and easy choice for busy families.


 

9. Momentous Creatine Creapure - 15 Packets

Travel-friendly creatine packets that are easy to toss into your purse, beach bag, or suitcase. Made with Creapure®, one of the purest forms of creatine monohydrate, they support strength, recovery, hydration, and cognitive performance while mixing easily into water wherever you are.


 

10. Avaline Wine The Welcome Set

A cleaner wine option made with organic grapes and without unnecessary sugars, synthetic pesticides, or additives. Co-founded by actress Cameron Diaz and entrepreneur Katherine Power, Avaline focuses on simple, transparent winemaking.

The Welcome Set includes six bottles of their most popular wines, making it perfect for summer entertaining. It’s one of the few wines I can enjoy without experiencing the headaches I often get from other wines.


 

11. JBW Strawberry Peanut Butter Swirl Smoothie Recipe

A perfect summertime smoothie the whole family will love. It tastes like a strawberry peanut butter milkshake, but it’s packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber to help keep you satisfied and energized.
