Beach and Pool Essentials

by Kate Austin June 30, 2014

 

 

My name is Kate Austin and I’m so honored to be blogging for Remington Ready today! I’m the blogger behind Just Kate and today I’m sharing my must-haves for the beach or pool.


1. A beach tote or knapsack is essential for carrying everything to and from your sunny destination.  Other key essentials include a pair of flip-flops and a colorful beach towel.


2. While lying out, I love a good read or a fun magazine to browse through. I can get impatient, so entertaining myself is a must. I often put my headphones in and listen to some music or bring a friend to pass time while I’m soaking up those rays!


3. Pamper and protect.


a. A pair of sunglasses and sunscreen is crucial for a day in the sun. I love this sunscreen from Ulta, because it leaves a pleasant smell on your skin after application.

 

b. EOS lip balm is widely popular; however look for their Lemon Drop flavor if you want SPF in your balm.


c. Lastly, the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil is a UV and heat protectant. Perfect for spraying into dry or wet hair for keeping your locks looking healthy. And of course, keeping a hairbrush handy is always a good idea.

 
4. A good suit to make you feel cute and confident is key for making your day in the sun enjoyable. Choose a style that best fits you and own it.

Makeup Trends For The Summer

by Jessica Fay June 10, 2014

 

 

When we think of summer makeup, we think fresh, neutral and natural. That being said—the winged liner look is very in trend right now and just because you want to look natural doesn’t mean you have to cut it out. Today’s tutorial shows you how to keep the skills you have worked so hard to master, as in the wing, but keeping it understated and beautiful! Having such minimal eye shadow actually makes your wing stand out even more! It also tends to look a little bit cleaner! Spice up your neutral look with a bright lip for a pop and your ready to go!

How To Pick The Perfect Summer Dress

by Remington Ready June 2, 2014

Hello! My name is Jacy Tilton and I'm the blogger behind Love, Lenore. I'm so excited to be guest blogging for Remington Ready today and to be sharing some of my favorite summer dress trends with you! I'm all about breezy dresses in the summertime because a great dress is easy to dress up or down and can be comfortable even when the temperatures rise. While I'm a huge fan of a little black dress, summer is the perfect time to experiment with bright colors and different silhouettes!


 

 

 

 

 

 

Look 1: Shift Dress
Shift dresses are so fun to style and look chic dressed up with heels and a statement necklace like I've worn mine here, or dressed down with sandals or flats! Wear one in a vibrant color (bright pastels are "in" this season) and you will instantly make a statement. Because my dress was already colorful I chose to pair it with simple but statement-making accessories to really pop against the mint. This classic silhouette won't be going out of style anytime soon and can be worn to anything from casual shopping to a fun summer party!

 

Look 2: Maxi Dress
I love the effortless bohemian look of maxi dresses and that they're a style anyone can wear! In my opinion, maxi dresses are the easiest silhouette to style casually, and as you can see here, I love pairing mine with flat sandals and a simple long necklace for an understated and wearable look.

 

Look 3: Skater Dress
Skater dresses are my absolute favorite silhouette! They're fun and flirty, but super flattering at the same time, which makes them perfect for date night. What I love about skater dresses is that they define the waistline, but float away from the hips. Because of their simple, flattering silhouette, skater dresses are the perfect opportunity to play around with color and prints too. I chose to style mine as a date night look with fun, colorful accessories in my heels and clutch!

 

Fortunately there are so many different dress silhouettes that are in style this season, making it easier than ever to find styles you love and that are flattering on you! Don't forget that dresses can be just as comfortable as shorts and a t-shirt, and remember to play around with color and prints too. Thank you so much for reading, and feel free to swing by my blog Love, Lenore for more outfits and style trends!

Get a Smoother Electric Shave with Shave Gel

by RemReadyMan May 19, 2014

There’s nothing like a nice, clean shave. And Remington offers that in every way.

 

But, were you aware that Remington also offers a series that lets you lather up, moisturize, and enjoy your shaving experience, even within your shower?

 

It’s easy to make that a quick part of your daily routine.

 

The Remington HYPERFLEX™ Shavers can be used in or out of the shower with shaving gel.

 

Your face loves the shower. The steam and hot water open pores to willingly give up any hair you want shaved. And when you go with gel, a quick shave will leave your face smooth and supple for the rest of the day.

 

The nourishing moisturizers give you a close, smooth cut and leave your face hydrated and happy. Gel cuts down on damage and irritation, making you look as good as you feel.

 

Do the best thing for your skin and your schedule. A quick gel shave in the shower is your path to a smoother face.

 

This is why we  teamed up with Aveeno to give you a FREE AVEENO® Men’s® Shave Gel inside select Remington® HYPERFLEX® shavers.  This perfect pair is available exclusively at Target stores.


Love your face. Do something about it. Shave with gel.

Nautical Summer Accessories for Kids

by Remington Ready May 8, 2014

 

 

 

My little ladies have some major heads of hair (special thanks to my mother).  And while my oldest is quite the tomboy, she still just loves her long hair and absolutely refuses part ways with it--making detangling and styling "such" a joy!  My little one, is a girly girl through and through and loves her spunky little bob.  Regardless of their styles, they both love having their hair dolled up a bit and off of their faces and quite frankly, so does mom.  Here's the kicker though, I'm always hard pressed to find head bands that don't bother the backs of their ears and stay in place or barrettes that actually hold their hair back all while still being cute.  Enter Remington.  When I tell you it's somewhat miraculous when all three of us agree on both a style and comfort level, I'm certainly not lying!  Big stuff felt comfy as can be and absolutely loved the feel and design of her headband..didn't hurt that it was her favorite color as well.  And little miss, well as I'm sure you can tell by the pictures, she felt footloose and fancy free in her polka dot barrettes.  No fidgeting, hair in the face, or messy manes equals a very very happy mom and smiles all the way around!

Find Your Boat-Worthy Look This Summer

by Amy Welch April 14, 2014

 

There is something about stripes that just makes me yearn for summer weather, summer nights and summer clothing. While it’s finally warming up here in NC, it has a long way to go before the crickets start chirping and it’s warm enough for a beach day. Although nautical is typically portrayed with white, red and blue, any type of fun stripe or a pair of white denim always reminds me a little of summertime and anchors.

 

 

 

I love the classic colored look for a nautical inspired outfit, it’s always nice to mix it up a little with different colors like I did with the pink + blue combination. Anything is possible with stripes! Yellow is a color I often mix into the nautical vibe as well- do you ever wonder why we associate certain colors with certain things? Who decides this stuff anyway?
