It is 85 and sunny in Chicago and out of nooooowhere feeling like the first day of summer! Which, considering we didn’t get a spring this year, I will gladly take. Our building opened up the pool deck early in order to take advantage of this insane weather, and I seriously could not have been happier. We had a bunch of friends over, brought down some beers and rose, and laid out in the sun like it was mid July. There seriously is nothing better than a rooftop pool in downtown Chicago on a hot day!
Today and all summer long, I will be protecting my skin with Alba Botanica’s Hawaiian Coconut Clear SPF 50 spray sunscreen. I love a good sunscreen spray that goes on feeling light and not too oily! This spray offers broad spectrum protection, is water resistant, and bonus, is biodegradable and therefore won’t harm the coral reefs when you’re on vaycay!
After my day of indulging in sun and drink, I’ll be lathering up with the new Alba Botanica Hawaiian detox warming mud musk; it’s anti-pollution volcanic clay that works to draw out impurities, warming skin to soften and prime pores for maximum extracting power. Masks are my saving grace during the week when I’m traveling for work, as well as when I feel like I deserve a little weekend pampering. This one is killer— you’re skin feels so damn soft and smooth after you wash it off!
A big thank you to Alba Botanica for sponsoring this post and kicking off the start of what-I’m-pretending-is-summer with me!
