Fave Fridays – Au naturel

Balzac’s Coffee Roasters – I was never much of a coffee drinker but their nifty location nestled in the Distillery District made me want to try. Glowing reviews mounted on the wall greet you at the door and the rusty interior beckons you to take a closer look. Americano and a vegan brownie for me and a hot chocolate and magic bar (a coconut oreo crust is very magical indeed) for him. Top marks for quality, service and a greet place to kick back and relax before grabbing that beer of course.

Aveeno Smart Essentials sunscreen – I can’t leave the house without putting sunscreen on and you shouldn’t be able to either! It’s so important to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays so Aveeno has packed their sunscreen with vitamins and made it smell fabulous. It’s kinda like being sun-kissed without the fear of skin damage.

Colossal waterproof mascara – Lashes, lashes, lashes. Since the unforgiving humidity has been a nightmare for my make-up this past week, I have resorted to wearing only mascara. You can never go wrong with heightened, darkened, beautiful lashes to compliment the eyes. Maybelline‘s Colossal volume express waterproof mascara (mouthful) gives flirty eyes a whole new meaning and best of all, no smudge!

Keep it bare and natural this week and you’ll feel more at peace with Mother Nature I promise.
