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 spending summers in the pool with the kids!
Spending time at the lake. Enjoying our houseboat and Stand Up Paddleboard
Camping and hiking… preferably hiking to a campsite!
We just moved to a new town and I’ve been loving exploring the new trails!
Grilling and enjoying cocktails on our deck! I also love a good pool day!
I love OGX products! My favorite summer activities are swimming laps outside and dining al fresco.
I love going to the springs in the summer. As a quickly fading dirty blonde, I really want to try that spray!
Anything by the water! I live 10 min from the beach so I run there as often as I can. I grew up playing in the woods so the summer brings back many good memories. For now I spend 8+ hours inside at work so ANY time outside is precious. Note to self…take days off ASAP to get outdoors!
I love riding my bike and spending time at our family’s place on the river.
I’d love to try that highlight mist. I’ve been highlighting my hair for years and now that I want to start getting closer to my natural color (sandy/dark blond, I think!) it’s going to be harder than I thought. Maybe this would help make the transition a little easier 🙂
I love going to the beach with friends.
I love getting outside for a hike and exploring new places. Hitting the trails always puts me in the best mood and changes my prospective on life.
Taking time to relax!
I enjoy the extra hours of sunlight. Lately I am enjoying running without pushing a stroller! Both of my littles are self-propelled now (biking!). So, they pedal themselves while I run. It makes a big difference.
One of my favorite things during the summer is watching my kids fill lots of wAter balloons and then soak one another or better yet- trying to soak me!
Hi Julie! In the summer i love to do anything out in the sun!
anything to be outside in the sunshine and near water! either enjoying the beach at Lake Tahoe or by the pool with family!
This summer, I’ve been loving lake swimming! It’s so refreshing to get in a good swim after playing beach volleyball 🙂
Taking a walk near the bay or beach, especially because we’re leaving San Diego this summer to move back to Virginia!
Going on vacation to new and fun places!!! And frequenting swim up bars!!!
I love hiking and swimming!
Playing basketball outside or in the pool! Love busting out the high school sports and knowing I still got my skills haha
My favorite thing to do outside during the summer is to take my son and dogs out for early am and evening walks at our local lake!
Long runs in the greenbelt of the Boise River. I run, and my hubby rides his bike with our 2 year old strapped in to her bike seat! Awesome family outing and great film exercise (we take her to the park afterwards to run around).
Most summers it’s being out on the lake.. But this summer I think it will be My wedding!!
The pool!!
I love being outside with my Golden Retrievers!! 🙂
we love to sit out on the screen porch during thunderstorms! (which we’ve been gettting a lot of lately in NC)

I love weekends at the lake and bike riding!!
Spending time horseback riding!
I love anY activity that gets me active and outdoors but camping is my favorite! I always come home feeling more peaceful and refreshed!
I love gardening and hiking in the woods!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is being at the park with friends or family. I forgot how much fun it is to get a group together bbq and play games at park. Bonus if we find a tire log or swing and get to be kids again for a second (is 22 really adult though?).
My favorite thing to do in the summer is to hike!
I love everything out doors in the summer, especially long walks in the evenings. Thanks for the giveaway!

I live for warm summer nights and taking a short hike down to the beach!
Normally my favorite outdoor activity is playing on the river or riding horses… but this summer my favorite outdoor activity is rocking my newborn baby on the back porch. It doesn’t get much better.
I love long bike rides, and going to the island!
Kayaking with my husband and our two pups is by far my favorite summertime activity. We spend as much time as possible out on the water all over the PNW!
I live inScottsdale, Arizona, so I mostly avoid the outdoors here for much of the year. However, getting up north (Sedona, flagstaff, etc) to hike, bike, camp, canoe, etc is always a treat!
I love everything about being outside in the summer. Hikes/walks, running, cycling, swimming, paddle boarding, etc. I love feeling the warmth of the sun. Feels amazing! 🙂
i love to watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean! (I’m a Cali girl 😉 so mesmerizing!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is go camping with my boyfriend and our dog. Especially if we are near a lake so our dog can swim!

I am loving sunrise walks with friends from neighborhood. Nothing like starting the day outside getting some exercise.
Definitely the beach, loving introducing all things outdoors to my two little boys!
I love being in or near water! Playing waterpolo, Swimming or just Relaxing next to a lake 🙂
We may not have a traditionally hot summer, but long days are a perfect excuse to hit the beach!
