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!

I love lounging by my in-laws pool with my hubby, friends and our pups!
I love lounging outside with my husband and dog on the patio and grilling out!
I love finding a nice shady spot outside and reading a good book.
My fave thing to do outside in the summer is to spend some quality time with my bulldog, Grump!
surfing!
hiking 🙂
My favorite summer activity will always always always being on a boat on a lake!
I’ve always thought about lightening my hair, too, but I have this bug up my butt about being a “natural blonde” and fear that if I highlight, I won’t be anymore 🙂
My favorite thing to do outside in the summer is (surprise) RUN!!!
Going for long walks and munching on fresh corn on the cob 🙂
Anything with water. Boat on lake, boat on ocean, swimming pool, everything!
Hi! Summer is my favorite time of year and I always enjoy being outside for dog walks, outdoor concerts and all of the hours spent on the beach….but THIS summer I realized my love for running. I have always been intimidated by running and I told everyone it’s just not for me. I tried to step out of my comfort zone and signed up for a 5k a couple months ago and while training for it realized I LOVE LOVE LOVE running outside (even when it’s hot and gross). I just recently (this past weekend) ran the 5K and loved every minute of it. I have dark blonde hair and have been trying to lighten it without damaging it but haven’t had any success so the spray and prize pack sound wonderful!
i love nothing more than laying poolside sipping lemonade this summer!
I love the warm summer nights and hanging out on patios or our rooftop! I also love being by the pool in the sun with a cold drink 🙂
Like you I am pregnant (28 weeks!) and have been busy growing a baby all summer! My favorite summer relaxation activity has been filling up my baby pool, pulling up a lawn chair, and soaking my legs while enjoying a good book.
Best of luck with your pregnancy, it’s been so fun following along while preggo myself!
I love taking walks around my neighborhood with my daughter in the stroller!
My fiance & I love going to the lake during the summer! We go almost every weekend, plus a couple of days during the week. We actually head out on our boat year round. It’s kind of “our thing”. He actually proposed to me out on the lake, so it’s just something special we love to do together!
I love summers spent enjoying a book on the beach 🙂
Lay one the beach and have a fun dinner at the shore with friends!
My favorite thing to do is go running in the rain!
Such a fun giveaway, Julie! I got to spend a couple days at the beach over the 4th and am itching to go back already, but all your posts about Lake Norman are making me think about calling my friend up there for a day on her boat!
Water ski!
Camping at Wright’s Lake with all my boys (Hubs, kids and fur babies). We take our canoe out early in the morning and as late as we can and still see to get back to camp. One year we will rent one of the cabins there. Wright’s Lake is SO beautiful !!!
Any and all water activities are my favorite! Kayaking, swimming, and paddle boarding are some of my faves.
Running and beaching!
My favorite thing to do is hang out at our local amusement park with my two girls. We spend just about every weekend out there and they love it. We’ve made so many memories which I’ll cherish!
I have been hooked on stand up paddleboarding this summer!
I love swimming in our pool and working in my garden in the summer!
swimming!
SUP and swimming in the ocean! 🙂
My favorite thing to do this summer is go to the beach and the pool to work on my tan for my upcoming summer wedding!
I love reading a good book by the pool during the day and grilling out in the evenings! Best way to spend summer days:)
My husband and I have enjoyed going on long walks with our puppy this summer. The long days make it so great to spend time together!
Being in oklahoma it’s too hot and humid to do much outside, but I’m looking forward to hiking in Colorado next week!!
I have been enjoying running outside this summer. It has been really awesome weather. Not too hot, yet!
I live on Jacksonville Beach — this giveaway is so perfect. You nailed it!
During the summer months, our community swaps cars for bikes — I love riding my cruiser around!
Definitely going out on the boat as well!!
My favorite outdoor activity is being with my dog: either taking her for walks, swims in the creek, to the dog park. Life’s just better with a dog 😉 Great giveaway, thanks!
My absolute favorite thing to do outside is wander and explore my city. I’m relatively new to NYC and ALWAYS find something new and interesting, all the while soaking up that vitamin D!
So many things I love to do outside during the summer! I think the thing I love to do most is go kayaking with my husband!
I have been enjoying just being outside in the sun with my toddler 🙂 we love playing at the beach and the pool!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is sunbathing, hiking, and camping. 🙂
I love long after-dinner walks in the summer (I love that it is still so light out at 8pm!).
We have a double-deck pontoon boat (Yes, with a water slide on the top deck!) It may sound a little weird but it’s a LOT of fun hanging on the lake all day with family and friends. We jump, slide, float, and grill. It’s PERFECT!
I love anything to do with water… Hitting the pools and lakes whenever possible.
I love sitting in the park reading!
I love to go on walks!
Hiking, but I’ve really been getting into kayaking this summer too!
I have only been out by the pool twice this summer; such a bummer BUT I have been to the beach twice so that has helped me realize this is still summer even though I work in an office building 40 hours a week.
I wish I owned a boat or knew someone who did, because I get a little jealous every time you post about it. Being on a boat is one of my favorite things about summer and I just sit in my cubicle and dream about one day when I can. Crossing my fingers.
My favorite thing this summer has been to go to the lake’s beach area and float/play with the dog!
My favorite summertime activity is being at the lake! I live in MN so we have thousands and thousands of them! 🙂
