As I am getting laser hair removal sessions over the summer, I have to take precautions to keep exposure to UV rays at a minimum. Not to mention that it is just good health habits to apply sun protection!
Even with the laser hair removal, I shave my legs daily. I have done this since pre-pandemic and pre-kids, while we were in Monterey circa spring 2019. I figured, as long as I was taking time off from work, I may as well keep the stems smooth. The last step in shaving legs is hitting them with a moisturizer or lotion. This summer I sought to find an option with an incorporated SPF.
After much online research I landed on Coola, the mineral and the classic body SPF options. I decided to try both. I will report back later in the summer with preference! I also picked up a bottle of the La Roche Posay Tinted Anthelios. I have been using it for years, as recommended by a dermatologist. I like to mix it with my go-to CC cream – which also contains SPF 50 – for face.
Due to the reputation of the founder, I think people are sleeping on G.Label. The clothing offshoot of Goop is one of my favorite brands in which to indulge, the black and white dress being most recent. I never find myself indulging in full price items and without a short term (as in between the time the purchase posts and the end of billing cycle) plan to pay off the bill. I like that this blouse zips up the back, streamlining the front and that I caught it at more than fifty percent off. I ordered it in a size twelve, my typical size these days, and it fits true to size.
Banana Republic is back, baby, and has taken J. Crew’s place as favorite retailer offering covetable pieces in tall. While this skirt was not available in tall, the knee length of the style does not require it. I ordered this skirt in a size twelve and I am one salad a day for a week away from fitting into it.
Lastly I splurged on a pair of marked down Manolo Blahnik sling back heels. I have had my eye on these for awhile. I ordered them in a IT size 41.5, which translates to a US size 11.5.
