New products we love don’t come easy. We are picky, picky, picky about what we put on our temple and what we recommend to you. And us GirlieGirls know there are a totally different realm of products we like for summer that we may not like for winter. That said, this isn’t an easy list to make, so be excited about our new favorites.
Here are some new products lining our bathroom shelves that we have strangely romantic feelings towards;
LuxeCoat formulas are based on sustainable vegan ingredients free of harmful carcinogens and chemicals often found in nail products. The chip-resistant and high shine nail polish is formulated to keep nails growing strong and healthy. These nail polish contains no Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthalate), Formaldehyde Resin, or Camphor. All LuxeCoat products are cruelty free. The colors are on trend sexy and the polish actually lasts! The mint color is currently on both my and my son’s nails.
Emi-Jay was created by teenage entrepreneurs Emily and Julianne. They are hair ties that look like cute bracelets when on the wrist, so you don’t look completely disheveled when you want to keep your pseudo scrunchie near by. They somehow upgrade messy buns and braids into actual looks. And yes, they are for little girls as well as adults. Emi-Jays are hand-dyed and handmade in the U.S.A. with imported material. Emi-Jay gives back to the community by donating 20% of their profits to charity. There are so many colors and styles to choose from that it almost makes us crazy. And by crazy we mean, giggly and high on life.

BODY SHOP LIPGLOSS BY LEONA LEWIS

ULTIMATE FLORA DAILY PROBIOTIC
If you are boozing this summer, your gut needs some healthy probiotics. And if you can’t stand kombucha, craut, or kim-chee, you’ll have to get it in pill form.

This will help you look beautiful from the inside out, and are available in mainstream drug stores, so if you are off road in Nantucket you are in luck!

Who wants a bright red nose with that sexy summer dress? Not us!! Allergies driving you batty, but want to avoid the druggy haze of anti-histamines? The Xlear Nasal Spray is all natural and contains xylitol, purified water, salt, and grapefruit seed extract. This Xylitol and saline solution is hyper-osmotic, which draws moisture and keeps the nasal passages and sinuses more moist and clean than saline alone. The Xlear Nasal Spray line consists of several all-natural products. None of them contain chemical antihistamines or decongestants, which can leave your airways and sinuses dry. Dry airways are easily irritated and extremely vulnerable to attack from external contaminants. Try this spray, you’ll be a believer.
