Spring break has come & gone & whether your tan is already starting to fade like mine is, or you didn't get the chance to take a trip this year, I'm sure we are all wishing we were somewhere warm and sunny. Lucky for you, today I'm taking you on a virtual trip to no where to help you achieve that just-returned-from-spring-break look ;)
Nails: This one is easy! Ditch those dark colors & neutral polish shades at your next manicure in exchange for a bright, fun color (or multiple colors)! As you can see, I love adding a little bit of sparkle or nail art; my Puerto Rico manicure was a bright coral shade with a fun palm tree design!

BONUS: O.P.I. just released their Hawaii collection! Shop the colors (or just get some ideas) below:
Hair: It's easy to get those beach waves without the beach day, thanks to a bit of dry shampoo and some salt spray. My favorites are without a doubt Tresemme Dry Shampoo and Bumble & Bumble Salt Spray. Both give my hair just the right amount of messiness and wave for that just back from the beach look.
If you need a bit of extra wave, I recommend wrapping random sections of hair around a tapered wand. Wrap some on the wand towards your face & some away from your face for a less-done, beachy look.
Skin: Getting a tan in New York weather is basically not possible right now, and while I'll admit, I was once an avid tanning bed user, I am all about safe tanning nowadays. (Your 50 year old self will thank you!) By far, my favorite self tanning brand that I've used is Vita Liberata. Their products are made with tons of organic ingredients which won't dry out or damage your skin.
I use their self tan tinted tanning lotion on my body & it gives me the best glow without looking streaky or turning my skin orange! On my face, I have been using their brand new bronzing minerals powder. That's right, a powder that builds a long lasting tan even after you cleanse your face at night. Plus, it comes in different shades to help you achieve a tan that's just right for you. How amazing is that?
Even better, one of YOU have the chance to win some of the products so you can treat yourself to your own mini stay-cation (worth over $75)!

Hot and sunny sounds perfect right about now! I'd love to visit the beaches of southern France as a dream vacation destination. But honestly any warm and sunny beach sounds great right about now
