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 getting out on my brother-in-laws boat! Anytime on the water is amazing! <3
I’m 38 weeks prego so my favorite activity is play time with my 2 year old in the pool! Keeps us cool!!
Definitely sitting out by the pool/lake with a good book!
Definitely be by the water! Pool, beach, lake…Anywhere I can be in the sun and be refreshed by the water!
I love going to the shore in the summer with a good book and read for the entire day.
I love to paddle board at the lake. I also love to swim.
This summer has been all about walking. A bummed knee has stopped me from doing some of my favorite activities, but since walking is pretty much my only option, I’ve been volunteering at the local shelter to take the doggies out; a much needed exercise that all can enjoy!
I am in Austin, Texas this summer for an internship and love being outdoors! It gets pretty hot here, so I like to take advantage of the lakes outside. I tried Paddleboarding for the first time and even though it took me awhile to have the courage to stand and not just kneel, I loved it!
My fav thing to do is go for my evening walk! It’s so nice at that time of the day, not too hot but still warm enough to emjoy the warm air.
I live near the beach so I love spending time there or paddle boarding!
So fun! My favorite thing to do outside is to ride my bike.
Long days on Long Sands Beach in York ME are summer heaven for me.
My husband and I are planting a fall garden and building raised beds so getting that all set up is pretty much our go-to outside activity this summer!
Handcycling on the many beautiful tree lined trails here in sunny central florida!!!!!
I love being outside grilling, hanging out, sipping some mohitos : )
Taking walks with my husband, baby, and dogs!
I am loving going on the boat and wakeboarding and waterskiing! I love the summer and I wish it lasted longer than three months on the east coast!
Take a boat ride on the St. Lawrence River!
I love reading outside in the summer sun!
Nice long walks with the dog after the sun starts to go down, days at the lake, and time chilling at the pool 🙂
Love hiking in the mountains and then comin home to watch the sunset
I love to go hiking and take in all those amazing mountain views, but out on a boat is a very close second!
Visiting family, going to the beach, eating cold things (ice cream, fruits, smoothies), and relaxing! (Ok, I know that’s more than just 1 but all these things usually happen together!)
I love to lounge out by the pool!
I’m loving daily walks after dinner with my dogs! They love it, it’s good for all of us and it’s usually way cooler than a pre-dinner walk!
This summer Ive enjoyed doing anything active outside: the lake, hiking, walking my dog, tennis, etc.
We just bought a house, so summer is filled with DIY projects and yard work
My favorite thing has been to take my kids swimming. It wears them out and they sleep great at night!
THE BEACH!
It sounds weird but, mowing the lawn! This is our first summer in our house and there’s something so gratifying seeing your lawn look sharp after mowing. It’s a buit in workout and gives me some color!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is hike!!
I love being outside with a good book, whether it’s by the pool or on our balcony. I’ve also been loving going hiking instead of hitting the gym!
Run around with our puppy (she’ll be 1 on July 20th) with her favorite tug/rope/squeaker toy. Her energy is limitless and brings a smile to my and my husband’s faces countless times a day (especially when she’s frolicking outside).
I love all the fun summer activities like hiking, kayaking, swimming, and just soaking in the sun!
I love to pull together a quick picnic and soak up some sun–snacks, cold bevies, music, a great book, (spf 50!)…what could be better than that?
I love going paddle boarding first thing in the morning while it’s still calm in the bay
I like to take my kitty outside on his leash for walks in the yard!
I can’t decide between taking walks at the park or grilling out then eating on the porch with my family! I guess my favorite thing is just spending time outside with the people I love!
I love reading in the backyard while my 2 little guys play.
I love swimming !
Go to the pool!
Porch sit with a few beers!
My favorite thing is hanging out by the pool. I also want to get into boating this year!
My boyfriend’s family has a house at the jersey shore. We have been LOVING riding their beach cruisers to and from the beach instead of driving. We pack a bag with our towels, books, and snacks, plop it in the cute little basket that hangs on the front of the “girly bike” and get 20 mins of exercise each way! (Not having to search for parking is another major plus!)
I just recently started doing yoga with a group of friends in the park or at the beach. What a great way to start the day.
Walk the dog and play around with her outside.
Playing outside in the pool with my son!
My favorite outside summer activity is floating around on the lake!
We LOVE loading up the dogs and heading to the lake for the weekends!
Swimming, be it in a pool or lake!
