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 husband and I have recently discovered a bike and kayak rental in downtown Ottawa that we absolutely love! It’s something we can do in the evening after work, or all day on a sunny weekend! Bonus: we’ve also discovered an Italian deli we like to get sandwiches at before long rides.
Deadheading and watering my flowers and herbs!
Relaxing on the boat is the best!
I love swimming in the summertime!
I love going kayaking! I also enjoy sitting outside at restaurants and having a few tropical drinks! 🙂
I have two little ones and we love to go out in the boat and find a private beach for us to play at!
I’m pregnant with my second – due August 17, so my favorite thing is to sit outside and watch my toddler play at his water table.
Fishing with my fiancé 🙂
Sit on our deck and talk until it is dark…
I love going to the pool or beach in the summer and taking walks with my husband and daughter. I just moved to Georgia from Florida so there is unfortunately no beach near us anymore.
I just moved to Colorado so my favorite thing to do this summer is go on hikes through the mountains!
Jogging in the morning and pool time in the afternoon with the kids !
Go to the beach!
Jet ski on the lake!
My favorite thing to do outside is have a glass of wine and read a book. Such a nice way to relax in the evening.
I love spending as much time as possible outside! I am a teacher and blessed to have summers off! We spend lots of time camping and kayaking. I really want to try the highlighting spray ☺️
Right now I love just sitting outside and reading. It’s a little too warm in the PNW for real exertion.
My favorite thing to do in the summer is anything involving the water!
My favourite thing to do outside this summer is having a bbq on a patio or deck.
P.s I love reading your blog (I don’t even know how many years it has been) 🙂

The lakes of MN are made for summer but my fav thing is running through the sprinkler with my 3 yr old. Pure joy
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is to lay out on the beach and read a book.
Taking long walks and hikes with my dog in our new city – Nashville!…. just left CLT 🙁
Grilling with my husband and the dogs in the backyard 🙂
Summer time is wonderful! This summer my favorite outside activity is watching baseball games!
Even though I absolutely adore running in the summer, I would have to say gardening is my favorite. It’s always been a fun family past time to spend time planting yummy veggies and PUMPKINS!!!!
Taking my kids to the local Waterpark (no beach near us), and grilling!
Ooh and gardening!
Dinner on the porch!!
I have always loved wake boarding! My husband and I dated in high school and his family had a boat- we used to spend hours and hours wake boarding on the lake 🙂
Summer means beach for me, my favorite thing is to spend hours reading and swimming down at the shore!
Fishing with my husband on the River.
Going for walks!
My fav summer activity is bonfires at the beach- we celebrate by letting a single Chinese lantern float away on my daughters birthday!
I LOVE coming home from college and spending my summer nights grilling outside with my family and listening to the sounds of summer and watching fireflies!
We love to go hiking with our pup!
Running on the beach during a vacation at the shore!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is go fishing! My mom taught me how to fish when I was a little girl and it’s something we’ve loved doing together ever since. I love it so much I decided to pursue a career in fish and wildlife conservation!
Gosh, it’s a toss-up between 2 very different activities: gardening and boating! I love gardening and how triumphant it feels to have put in a good day of work in the yard. It’s so rewarding to see the results and it makes me proud of my home. But I also love being out on the water, cruising and tubing with friends. Jumping off the boat into the cool lake water is so refreshing and it gets H-O-T in Texas!
I love to play card games on the deck until the sun goes down!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is read and swim at the beach!!! ☀️
I love to bike everywhere in the summertime! It’s my favorite summer activity 🙂
My favorite outdoor activity is spending time in our new backyard and watching my 10-month old son play in the kiddie pool. He loves to splash in the water!
I love sitting at the beach with a good book
I love going out on the boat with my fiancé!
I have been loving riding my bike this summer!
If we are not on the pontoon beating the heat, we are in the kiddy pool at home
I love walking outside at the beach, the bay, the amazing San Diego zoo, anywhere!
Float in the pool! And eat dinner out on the back deck : )
Watching my girls play together at the beach! I thought beach trips would be a disaster with my 7 month old and 2 yr old, but they both play in the sand while I relax.
I love riding bikes to a favorite coffee shop or lunch spot!
Swimming in our backyard followed by a bbq
Travel! Just got back from London and Ireland. (Read your post about the Blarney Stone before I left, kissed it anyways!)
