A few weeks ago, regular readers may remember me briefly mentioning my love for OGX Beauty’s lemon highlight activating mist in a past Things I’m Loving Friday post. I fell in love with the natural highlighting spray right at the end of spring and use it in my hair nearly every time we head out on the lake!
It’s simple to apply – just spritz in your hair and go – and I truly do feel like it has helped lighten up my naturally blonde hair a bit!
I’ve been toying with the idea of visiting a salon to have my hair professionally lightened up for years, but I am always apprehensive because I’ve had so many people tell me how hard it is to return to your hair to its natural blonde hair shade should you ever decide to stop coloring your hair. I’m sure I’ll muster up the courage to lighten things up a bit eventually, but until then, I’m definitely enjoying way the sun is lightening my hair up this summer and truly believe this lemon highlight activating mist is increasing the amount of sunkissed highlights I’m seeing in my hair this year! (I promise I’m not just seeing things! Ryan said he can see a difference and this spray has great reviews on Ulta.com and Amazon.com!)
Aside from the obvious highlight benefit, I also love the bright citrus scent (thanks to the key lime extract and sweet citrus oil) and the way the spray makes my hair feel so soft (thanks to ultra hair-hydrating coconut oil)!
The spray doesn’t rely on peroxide or any form of hair colorant or dye to give you your highlights (highlights come from the lemon oil!), so it’s not harsh on your hair but actually nourishes your locks while lightening them which I absolutely love. (A quick note: I probably wouldn’t use the mist every day because it can make my hair look a little greasy which I typically don’t mind because I just use it when I’m going to be outside sweating and playing around by the water anyway. Great for beach or lake days!)
Okay, now that I’ve dedicated a little too much time to professing my love for this highlighting spray, it’s giveaway time!

Sitting outside poolside with my daughter AND also sitting on a patio with good friends! ( and food and drink 🙂 )
Takeing the dogs for a swim in the lake!
This summer I’ve fallen in love with Stand-up Paddle boarding and kayaking!
My favorite summer activity this year is exploring any/everywhere in New England! My husband and I moved to New Hampshire from Florida in November. We’ve missed our typical Florida beach weekends but are having an awesome time seeing all that the northeast has to offer now that the weather is nice and sunny 🙂
This summer has been all about sunrise runs with my fiancé. They’re a great way to relieve stress, get in my workout and catch up and chat before the day starts!
My favet thing this summer has been playing at the park with my 2 year old….and riding my bike…and stand up paddling….errr everything?
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is take my 4 year old daughter to the pool! She is just learning how to swim and is so darn cute.
Walking on boardwalk at dusk with my husband & admiring the sky & waves!
What a fun giveaway! My favorite summer activity has to be running on the beach at night with my dog Mayter.
Hanging outside with my boys splashing around in the kiddie pool 🙂
This summer I’ve been loving playing tennis with my husband! We both just started so we are evenly matched so it’s really been a fun way to get outside, do something together, get some sun and a little exercise!
Such cute items! I love to head to the beach or the pool- can’t beat that on a hot Florid summer day!!!
I love going to the beach! Especially with a good book!
We love paddleboarding and doing anything with the pup outside!
I am 22 weeks pregnant and with this FL heat I am loving that we have a pool. There have been many evenings already spent cooling off and relaxing before dinner. Plus being in the water takes away all of the aches and pains I’ve had in my back and hips. So I understand your love for the water right now!!
My favorite summer activity right now is definitely to be at the pool – both to lay by it and read but also to swim. Especially with being so pregnant, it’s not only refreshing but I’m practically weightless in there, which is awesome! 🙂
Favorite thing in the summer? Late evening walks with my hubby, baby and dog. When time feels like it stands still. 🙂
I’ve been really jealous of everyone’s time at the lake/ river/ beach/ pool. Haven’t had the chance to do any of these and it’s been pretty hot. But we recently moved to Kansas and have a nice backyard. So I’ve really enjoyed relaxing in the yard with my puppy (also a Sadie) and husband. Reading in the hammock and growing our first small garden.
My favorite thing to do this summer is simple. It’s just hanging out on the terrace of our new apartment. Our previous apartement had no options to simply sit outside and relax. I am so happy that we took the step to buy our own place in the middle of the city and this summer I want to enjoy it as much as possible.
I’m due two weeks before you and I can’t wait to get back to summer days of hiking and wine tasting! I’m ready to put my carrier to use!
Nothing better than reading a good book by the pool in summer 🙂
My favorite summer outdoor activity is running! Early, before it gets too hot.
I love visiting yadkin valley wineries in NC and relaxing on the vineyard with a glass of wine!
My favorite thing to do is take my 8-month old to the beach and go surfing while daddy plays with him in the tidal pools!’
I love walking my dog outside after work! It’s my favorite way to unwind!
Summer is my favorite season! I love weekend getaways, BBQs and beach trips.
My favorite thing is enjoying Lake Michigan!
I love reading outside on the deck!
I love reading lakeside, swimming with my dogs and kayaking!
Here in Texas, it is only tolerable to be outside if you’re in the water. So I guess I would say pool days!
I have a 2 month old baby. My favorite activity has been to cuddle up with her
I live in DC, so ride my bike around the city. It’s so fun and easy to spend an afternoon zipping from neighborhood to neighborhood.
The beach!
I have been spending a lot of time in the Florida sun this summer! My favorite activity lately has been kayaking!
I’ve been spending my outside time this summer trying to correct all of my horrible tan lines for my wedding in a few weeks! slowly making progress, but I’m coming to the conclusion that there will always be a permanent racer-back tan on me from running!
I have finally gotten the hang of paddle boarding! It has definitely moved to the top of my favorite activities. I always see pictures of people paddle boarding with their pups, so it’s my goal to get my hound puppy on there with me this summer 🙂
Awesome giveaway!!! I live in Atlanta and I LOVE going to all the outdoor festivals! There is literally something every weekend 🙂
I have been loving outdoor runs and walks with my pup!
I love floating in an 8 person raft in the bay!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is ANYTHING! I’m a busy attorney with a long commute, so the spare time I have to spend outdoors is minimal. Whenever I can, I take advantage of long walks after dinner, early morning runs, and lazy Sundays reading in the shade.
My favorite thing to do outside right now is watch my boys play in their baby pool while I relax in the sun! I would love to win this prize pack!! 🙂
I love laying poolside with a good book and a cold drink!
I love to kayak! Hope to pick up a SUP soon, too!
i love just being barefoot on grass outside!
My fave thing to do in the summer is find a lake and float in it all day long! I love brining my inflatable pool floats and just relaxing all day 🙂
I love laying out by the pool! And as a fellow blonde (well, more like dirty-blonde, light brunette), I can tell you that growing out highlights isn’t the end of the world. I got highlights every six months for probably six or seven years before I got tired of it and decided to grow it out over two years ago. I was ready to have to dye it so that it wouldn’t look totally trashy but surprisingly it looked fine! The highlights were subtle enough and the color faded enough that it just looks like a minor ombre. I still have traces of the highlights in the bottom half of my hair and it’s faded enough to blend in with the rest of my hair. I actually love it! I think your hair is light enough that you would be able to grow it out just fine.
My favorite outdoor activity has been bringing my almost 2 year old to the splash pad since she gets to have a lot of fun and this 8-month pregnant mama can cool off too!
Having some wine out on the porch while my dad feeds the deer. They’ve become our pets! I’m still so surprised it has yet to reach 100 in Texas. Loving it.
Eating frozen yogurt almost every night on my walk home from work, because not taking the bus is amazing!!
I love going for walks outside…but in the New Orleans heat it has to be early morning or at night!
