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!

What a fun giveaway, Julie! 🙂
This summer I am taking as many workouts outside as possible. I’ve been enjoying early morning runs, evening yoga in the park, hiking and biking with my family, and of course swimming! I’ve also just enjoyed being outdoors and I have encouraged my family to eat dinner on our deck most nights. They only complain about the bugs for a minute so I think they like it too! 😉
Sitting on the dock at my parents’ lake house with family and friends! and a beer of course!
Sitting by the pool with a cool drink!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is take my dog to the beach! We just adopted a 4-year-old greyhound who is an ex-racer and I love spoiling her as much as possible. Turns out she loves to swim, so that’s a weekly trip now! 🙂
beach!!
It’s a tie between running outside (especially on trails or along the lake) and sitting by the pool with a good book!
me too!!
Swimming, boating, and fishing are my favorite summer activities. Enjoying the sunshine and water 🙂
The beach is my favorite place to be in the summer.
I cant decide! Fishing, campfires, beach, smores…mhmm
My favorite thing to do outside in the summer is RUN (it was a LONG winter on the treadmill) and have BBQs with all of my friends.
It was so rainy here at the beginning of the summer! My favorite thing to do is find a restaurant with a great patio and enjoy a beer or margarita!
hanging out by the pool!! or a bonfire!
I just love being outside! Hiking and playing volleyball are probably my favorites!
Beach days are hands-down THE best!!
My fave thing to do outside this summer is lounge by the pool in the early evenings, when it starts cooling down, with my dog. She loves having her own lounge chair and we just chill, it is SO relaxing.
Laying by the pool! I love catching up on my books and magazines while soaking up some sun and getting in when I get too hot. I always miss it when fall comes.
Having worked as a preschool teacher last year, I loved taking the kids outside for any activity possible–sidewalk chalk, playing in the sprinkler, playing on the playground, messy science projects, I could go on and on!
My favorite thing to do outside is float the river (we do that a lot in Montana!) or go to a lake and float around/go boating/paddleboard/etc.!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is swim in the pool. I get to spend time with my husband and son and we all get to stay cool when it’s smoking hot in Phoenix!

I love a summer time picnic! Snacks, sunshine, and relaxing 🙂
I love to float in the pool with a good book!
I’ve been loving having coffee and reading a book each morning on our newly finished deck!
Sitting on the dock with a good book and a glass of wine! Unfortunately, this summer has been a rainy and cool one in Indiana. so not a lot of outdoor summer fun has been had 🙁
We just moved from NYC to Raleigh and I’m loving relaxing by our pool on the weekend! Simple but a luxury you don’t get in the city!!
pooltime!
My favorite outside activity is definitely hiking, but that is true year round (even though it can be challenging in winter, seeing as we live in New England). My favorite summer specific outside activity is probably the ridiculously competitive volleyball we play at our annual family 4th of July picnic.
I love riding my bike around the city all summer — makes me feel like a kid!!
I love sitting on our front porch and having my morning coffee or a cold beverage after work. Our house is surrounded by tall corn fields right now, so the sunrise and sunset are even more beautiful than usual!
So fun! I love hiking and swimming. I spend a great deal of time outside all year round but summer is my favorite!
Gardening!
Spending time at the dog park with my furbaby
Honestly I prefer to stay inside since the heat of Houston is unbearable in the summer! 🙂
But we do enjoy walking/biking to nearby restaurants all year round!
Definitely hiking the trails around my area with the hubby! It’s been a great year for that here in Michigan!
i love to put the top down on my jeep, drive up the pacific coast highway and spend the day at zuma beach. just packed up last weekend for a birthday party out there.
Oh it’s definitely the beach! I love summer beach days.
What a fun giveaway! My favorite summertime activity is spending all day playing yard games (while sipping sangria) and then having a campfire!
my favorite thing to do this summer is swim! now that i’m pregnant the water feels amazing!
Getting out of the city (Chicago) and into nature as much as possible – beaches, hiking, kayaking, camping!
Anything involving water! I’m super excited to try stand-up paddleboard yoga this summer!!
My favorite outdoor activity (so far!) this summer has been playing with my cutie munchkins (nieces and nephew!) in the pool! It’s so cool to watch them test their limits now that they’re a bit older and are getting braver in the water!
Playing outside with my 1 year old son!
Golfing with my hubby!!
Fave thing to do this summer is sit outside by the Erie/Ontario Canal in Port Colbrounee, ON and watch the boat … and pop into Niagara Falls at night to see the lights.

My favorite thing to do outside during the summer is stand up paddle boarding!! It’s so fun
I’m a runner and do a half marathon every fall, so my favorite summer activity is training for my half with my friends- lots of time to talk on those long runs! I’ve even convinced my sister to run one this year!
Run outside on the trails as the sun is setting and the air is still warm!
My very favorite thing to do outside is spend all of the long, hot summer days on the lake! I love waterskiing, tubing, and all lake activities!
I love walking outside and talking on the phone with friends and family!
I love going for hikes with my dog!
