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!

My favorite thing to do outside this summer has been gardening. While not all of my plants have survived, it’s been fun!
going on walks with the husb is my favorite!
Since I live in AZ where temps are currently over 100.. If I am outside it is either before 6am to get a run in before it is too hot, or laying by the pool!
Love your blog 🙂
Hiking and swimming are my absolute favorite parts of summer! 🙂
Like you I am expecting so I have really enjoyed time in the pool this summer along with going for walks as my regular workout routine hasn’t worked durning pregnancy.
Water slides!! We just took a family vacation and spent a day at a water park. It was so much fun! My 5 year old was all smiles and so was I! So fun to relive your youth!
Just being outside esp. with one of our dogs who loves kiddie pools…rolling over and splashing around like a kid.
I love anything with water — beach, lake, pool, etc!
My favorite thing is definitely spending my days at the beach or on a boat. Unfortunately I live in New Mexico right now so beach days are not happening. Instead, I’m spending a lot of time hiking and taking afternoon naps haha.
Grilling out and swimming in the ocean!
Kayaking! All day long, every day
I love going out to my garden and picking fresh vegetables! Cherry tomatoes warmed by the sun are my favorite!
Going to the pool with my husband and our 2 year old!
My favorite thing this summer is taking walks with my boys to the parks and pool.
the beach is the best part about summer! getting a bit of a tan, cooling down in the water, and playing games in the sand are the best ways to enjoy a sunny day.
My favorite summer activities are waterskiing and wakeboarding on the lake!
I love everything about summer, but especially boating!
I’m loving heading to the park with a good book and my puppy, enjoying the sunshine and getting in some nice walks 🙂
Going to the beach is by far my favorite outdoor summer activity!
We’ve been realling digging going for family hikes this summer with the baby in his stroller and our dog! Tires everyone out, so we all get in a good siesta after 😉
All summer I’m at the beach as much as I can.
So many things about summertime but since I have become a mom, summer is even more important. I love celebrating this whimsical, carefree season with my three little ones. My favorite things are swimming in the lake or pool, experiencing some exciting firsts that summer brings / learning how to swim, jumping off the diving board (oh my!) catching frogs, staying up late, summer reading and trips to the library together and greeting my kids when they have had a great night sleep and sleeping in ❤️
I love that shampoo! As for my favorite thing to do in the summer, it’s hangout at the beach with my family!!
I love taking early evening walks and spending time with family at the beach!
Being on our boat on the lake!
I love reading by the pool!
I love going to our family’s condo at the lake and spending the whole day out on the water!
I love to go on walks and to baseball games!
I just moved to Central Texas not too long ago! So my favorite thing to do this summer is go for long car rides on beautiful days and explore the area while listening to the radio. I’m trying to find those cute hidden gems, such as cafes, safe places for my outdoor runs, and places to go on dates with my boyfriend.
I love spending time with my family outdoors- swimming, grilling or going on walks!
Go to the beach or for a long run in the early morning!
I love going on walks with my family and playing in the pool with my baby daughter.
Playing outside with my sweet 2-year-old, Jack (especially pool and park time)! He’s at such a fun age and makes me feel like a kid again!
I love to hang out at the lake on a floaty and go on boat rides!
I love heading to the pool with my family in the evenings after the sun has started to set. The temps have gone down (a little), the crowds have cleared And it’s a great way to relax!
Reading a good book on the beach!
We love hiking in the summer! It’s so hot in Texas but hiking provides nice shade and a cool breeze of the water.
Reading outside and taking my dog for long walks!
I Love taking long walks or hiking outside with the family!! just soaking up the sun and fresh air 🙂
I love taking my kids to the zoo! They have a really fun splash pad too so its a double win!
I live on an island so I would have to say going to the beach!
I love running and boating on my parents’ pontoon!
i love to be outside either running, swimming, biking, at the beach or just walking my dog with my fiancé. Also enjoying summer BBQ grilling season as often as possible is a must! And of course catching up on Julie’s blog 🙂
This is my little guy’s first summer, so I’ve been loving taking him on walks, visiting playgrounds, and playing in the water with him!
Love taking my lil guy Parker (2.5 yrs) out to the Park. His smile & laugh when he goes down the slide (the one of rollers) is enough to brighten anyone’s day! Just wait momma to be!!!
Anything outdoors in the summer! My favorite is heading to the beach with my husband and friends. We set up camp for the day bringing bocce, ladderball, paddle boards and tons of food and drinks!
I recently moved to Raleigh, NC from Buffalo, NY. I’m really loving the south and the sunshine! My favorite summer moments have been taking trips to Charleston to explore the beaches with my best friend Cathryn and our tiny pups!

Read chic lit by the pool or lake!
Hiking with my dog, camping at the lake and enjoying Michigan’s short but sweet summer!
