Butchers Block Cutting & Charcuterie Board

What a beautiful handcrafted piece of work! It's been sustainably made and locally harvested. The scraps from the wood harvested are used as kindling, fertilizer, or created into sawdust for animal beds on the makers farm. Love that. You owe it to yourself to click over and visit this shop.

Jardin Bouquet Tote

Have you ever noticed that those flower bouquets you pick up at the Farmers Market or grocery, never seem to fit correctly in any bag? They are always so awkward to carry. This tote is made with locally sourced high quality surplus raw denim. There is no use of hardware, plastic, or toxic elastic.  Designed and made in San Francisco with zero byproduct waste.

Beauty Products That Beat The Heat

{ Via: Dermstore }

The heat is on! The entire country seems to be scorching hot. I don't like to complain about weather, but my hair and makeup aren't very happy at all.  One goes flat and straight with the humidity, and the make up slip slides away. This edit features ten products that play well with heat. Learn about Tata Harper's line erasing highlighter blush, Oribe's anti-humidity hair spray and more. Stay cool!

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield 
Let's begin with Sunscreen. This one makes so much sense. Unless you want your face to look like the new face aging app, you better be using sunscreen on that pretty face of yours. I love a sunscreen that features minerals not chemicals. This product is award winning and a true skin hero. It's a mineral powder, that you wear alone or over your makeup. Genius!
Nordstrom

Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara

My current  (for the last year) fave mascara. I wear it every day, because you know, one never knows when the tears might fall. And I have cried a river while wearing it.

 Never fails!

Too Faced

Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Aqua Universalis Scented Hair Mist

I admit that this is a beauty splurge, but it sounds so lovely that I just had to include it. It's an alcohol free hair spray that is scented with Bergamot from Calabria, Lemon from Sicily, White Bouquet (Lily of the valley and sweet Mock-Orange) and light and musky woods.  The main ingredient is Castoreum oil which leaves your tresses luminous. Transport yourself to Italy! Sold only at 
Neiman Marcus

Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask
"Ole Henriksen's turquoise-colored, cooling clay mask was created to mimic the last step in the Scandinavian sauna cycle by providing skin with a "cold plunge" of purifying ingredients that diminish pore size and control oil production."
Sephora

Beekman Facial Wipes
Currently, one of my favorite things. Fabulous for cleansing the makeup off your face (including waterproof eye makeup). They are also efficient for cooling off and cleansing other body parts. It's so gentle with goat milk and essential oils, without the bad chemicals. I literally run the wipe, right over my eyes. It's perfect for these hot Summer days. Keep one in your bag, at the office, in the gym, in the golf bag. The honey grapefruit is my favorite scent, but do check out the others. Only $7
Beekman 1802

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter

For those who love a glow. Refinery29 states that this is waterproof, even though the info doesn't say it is. Doesn't matter to me, as it is so gorgeous. The above color is my favorite "champagne pop," but there are many other shades. This product is award winning, and so pretty for Summer. use it where the sun might naturally hit your 
face, shoulders, and decollete. 
Nordstrom

Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray
My hair salon uses these products, and they are luxe! This is a frizz fighter extraordinaire! It shields hair from frizz on the sultriest of days (and nights.) Purchase at
Bloomingdale's or Amazon

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue & Foundation
My desert island product. It's a tinted hydrating gel cream that also offers coverage. It can be layered to achieve the look you want. Most often I mix it with my foundation and apply with brush. But in the heat of Summer, I often wear it alone. It feels like nothing on the face.  No need to wear any other moisturizer or sunscreen. It's packed with a mineral (not chemical) sunscreen. Shade "Natural" is the perfect beige. And now it comes in a foundation stick, too, which I have not tried yet.  
bareMinerals   

Very Flashy Anti Aging Neuropeptide Blush

The prettiest shade I have ever seen. A golden/pink luminous highlighting cream that delivers a universal sunbeam effect. Best yet, it smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It's brand new from....
Tata Harper

Tatcha Original Aburatorigami
And for those of you who do not want to glow, enter Japanese Blotting Papers. "Soft leaflets made of 100 percent natural abaca leaf and gold flakes absorb excess oil without disturbing makeup for petal fresh skin anytime, anywhere." I do like to glow, but I was gifted with these, and what a fab product!
