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 to hang out by the pool and go on walks with my sister!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is just being active with my dog…whether it be hiking, running through the park or swimming in the lake. I enjoy seeing his face when he feels at his element in the outdoors.
Anything involving a pool is at the top of my list!
My favorite thing currently is kayaking! I just went for the first time a month or so ago, and loooooove it!
Hi there! Love the blog 🙂
I love summer! We just recently moved from rural Maine to Charlotte, and we love it so far! Much better weather.. In the summer, I love to walk my two dogs, relax outside near the fire, and jog when I get the motivation 😀
I LOVE to grill out and eat on the patio, head to the farmer’s market on the weekends and hike with my soon-to-be husband and family. Wisconsin summers are short so we have to soak up the warm weather and sunshine as much as we can!
I love going on walks with my dog 🙂
Enjoying the sun!! Going outside for my lunch break is suck a nice treat!
I love to grill meals and eat outside!
I live in Chicago, so my favorite thing to do in the summer is walk to the lake, find a good spot with a little shade and read a good book! It’s also great for people watching and getting some sun.
I love sitting on my back deck and reading after dinner!
I am 35 weeks pregnant and my favorite thing to do by far is to swim in the lake near our house! It takes all the heaviness and pressure away.
This summer I’ve loved playing outside with our new Golden Retriever puppy! She’s a crack up 🙂
I love taking the kids to the pool and baking in the sun 🙂
We’ve been enjoying a lot of time on our bikes this summer!! And lots of after-dinner walks with our dog 🙂
During the summer I love taking my dogs on long walks with my husband.
My favorite thing to do this summer has been going out on the boat as well! But I’m not a water person… so I never get in the water. I’ve been enjoying some great morning runs though!
since I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant, I enjoy watching my 3 year old son play in his kiddie pool while I hang out in the shade with a big glass of ice water!
Favorite outdoor summertime activity is sitting Lake side, or floating on top of it. Can’t beat fun on the water! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love anything outside especially with the dogs.
Sun on the beach!
We love to be out on the water as much as possible on our boat. Only way to beat the summer heat!
I love to listen to the birds and others wild life in my yard during the early morning.
I just love hanging out on the patio (or eating outside) and as many walks as possible!
I love sitting out on the patio enjoying the evenings.
Eating lunch outside on my back porch and going for lots of long walks in the sun!
I love to spend time riding my horses in the summer! I don’t have an indoor riding space so the winter and wet spring weather are limiting. Summer is when I make the most of the time I spend with them!
Boating! Grilling out and lounging, it’s hot!
I love being on the lake or at the beach. It’s a rare occasion so I’m appreciative of any time we can spend there. 🙂
I love summertime bike rides 🙂
I love sitting on the patio with a good book and a glass of wine!
Definitely boating!
My little guy and I love heading to the park! He loves the swings, and after we play for a bit, I get a chance to walk/run laps around the park and get in a little exercise!
We just had a baby boy (Henry) in May so our favorite thing to do this summer is take him out in his carrier to walk the dog 🙂
My favorite thing to do right now is sit out on our porch and read!
I know its a little young for me – but my favorite part of summer is getting ice cream from ice cream trucks. It brings me back to my childhood.
I love playing with my Shih Tzu, Zoe, out in our backyard. It’s so much fun to watch her run around and enjoy the warm weather!
My favorite summer activity is spending the day at the creek with my husband and our two spoiled rotten fur babies. Their personalities are total opposite and they make us laugh the whole time. Our smallest, Bitsy likes to stay close to us in the shallow and play in the sand. Bella likes to run along the tree line on the higher bank and jump off into the water.
My favorite outdoor activity in the summer is… anything active, really. Even just going for walks is so fun!
Spend all day lounging at the pool only getting out long enough to refresh my drink 🙂
My favorite part of summer is going out to take milky way shots during the new moon.
Boating and bon fire nights! Nothing better then hanging with friends and family on the water all day and then sitting around the fire and laughing.
I love to run outside in the summer, and then hit the pool!
Swimming!! It sure makes the heat more bearable!
I love to sit outside and read in the summer time!
I love the carefree nature of summer: lounging in the sun on our patio, taking our time going from place to place, drinking cold, refreshing drinks. But my favorite thing to do outside? Probably a tie between going to a theme park or having a laid-back bonfire. 🙂
I love to be able to go on long bike rides and walks with my husband in the summer! The winters are so cold it’s so nice to get out and get fresh air. This summer I’m especially looking forward to going up north and camping off of Lake Michigan! 🙂
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is grill out and enjoy a relaxing dinner on our deck with friends. This is our first summer in our new house and my husband and I have loved having friends over for a BBQ and cocktails in the summer evenings!
Oooh! I wonder if that spray works on brown hair, I’ll have to research it! And my favorite activity is definitely taking my son to play at a water park or laying in a hammock to read a book or magazine.
I’m loving my summer evening walks in the neighborhood with my 2yo daughter. It’s so fun to hear her point out things. We take her small pink wagon but she’s needing that less and less.
