Thank you to Babbleboxx.com for sponsoring today’s post!
I swear, every time I look at my calendar time seems to be going by faster and faster.
How in the world is it almost August already?!
Life has been particularly crazy for R. and I lately, as we’re heading into the home run of our engagement. This means starting to really refine the details of our big day in September, despite all of our other obligations with work, hobbies, family, friends, etc.
Given our packed schedules, you can imagine my excitement when Babbleboxx sent over a package filled with goodies perfect for the summer heat we’ve been getting in New York. From new sunnies to skincare magic, I want to run through all of the fun products and give you a little taste of what I’ve been obsessing over for the past few weeks.
We can all use a little help to get us through the remainder of the 90 degree days, right?
Zenni Black Metal Cat-Eye Sunglasses
First of all, you guys need to know that was already in love with Zenni Optical prior to receiving this box. Our doberman mix ate my pair of (very expensive) eyeglasses from the eye doctor awhile back, and I was lucky enough to stumble upon Zenni and get hooked up with new frames for under $50. The process was SO stinkin’ easy, and I’ve gotten countless compliments ever since ordering.
Obviously I was thrilled to get a pair of Zenni sunglasses with this kit, which go with almost any outfit I can think up! The neat thing about Zenni sunglasses too, is that there are tons of stylish (and affordable) options that even work for people with higher prescriptions. You can also add a customized tint to any of Zenni’s sunglasses to create your own signature look, while enjoying the fingerprint-resistant and anti-reflective coating, too.
I’ve already recommended Zenni to many of my family and friends who are in the market for chic, yet budget friendly frames, and the same definitely goes for their sunglass line as well.
Straight Up Tea Iced Tea
There’s nothing I love more during a hot summer day than a glass of iced tea. It’s one of the most refreshing beverages, and it helps me stay away from excessive amounts of soda. Right now I’m drinking Straight Up Tea, which is all natural and made with real tea. There’s never any artificial colors or other ingredients, and there’s even three different flavors to try.
I mainly opt for unsweetened iced tea to avoid the sugar, but all of these varieties are simply and naturally delicious!
UNWINED by Hask White Wine Inspired Shampoo & Conditioner
Everybody loves a glass of their favorite wine, but what if you could take all of the amazing properties of this magic drink and turn it into a beauty product? Well, Hask has done it with their UNWINED White Wine inspired shampoo and conditioner. Including ingredients like wine extract, resveratrol, and grape seed oil, this line is specially designed to add shine to your hair and help you become a total gloss boss.
Both the shampoo and conditioner are also free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, drying alcohol, and artificial colors. Not only are these products fun and innovative, but they’re great for your hair, too!
Colleen Rothschild Skincare
I’ve heard so many great things about Colleen Rothschild skincare over the years, so I’m honestly surprised this is the first time I’ve tried this brand. That being said, there’s no going back when it comes to the Colleen Rothschild Radiant Cleansing Balm, Matcha Tea Treatment Toner, or Sheer Renewal Cream. I swear the Radiant Cleansing Balm literally melts your makeup off, and it even has the best clean scent ever. I’ve been using it every night to take off my makeup, and it works perfectly — even with eye makeup!
The Matcha Tea Treament Toner is another one of my favorites, because it helps to absorb oil (SO important during this time of the year!). Its antiseptic properties also help to defend against future breakouts, which is a huge win in my book.
Last but not least, the Colleen Rothschild Sheer Renewal Cream an awesome oil-free moisturizer that also helps to fight fine lines and wrinkles. I hate anything that feels heavy on my skin, so this is another summer beauty favorite.

Ozeaderma Anti-Aging Antioxidant Sunscreen
Anyone who knows me in “real life” (aka offline), knows that I do not mess around when it comes to sunscreen. That’s why I was so excited to try Ozeaderma Anti-Aging Antioxidant Sunscreen. I wear sunscreen almost every day during the summer, so I love that this formulation is natural and non-chemical. This sunscreen is instead mineral based, which helps protect skin from not only the sun, but also climate elements and pollution. Having a great sunscreen that will help protect my skin while also doubling as an anti-aging product is a total dream. Gotta love multitasking!
