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!

This summer, my favorite thing to do is exploring my new town, Chapel Hill!
My favorite thing to do during the summer is to spend as much time at the beach as possible. I spent a week at a dive school on an island in the Caribbean recently, and it was the such an amazing experience. I’m trying to move away from MD to Cali ASAP so my life can be a beach always 🙂
Hiking with the pup, for sure! We get out on the trails here in LA on the daily. Now that the sun goes down so late, we make it a point to get to the hills in the evening to catch the sunset!
read at the beach!
My favorite thing to do outside is play with our newborn! He’s 7 weeks old and he’s just starting to really engage and explore the world. It’s so much fun to show him trees and plants!
My fav thing to do this summer is probably either just walking around in the cool evenings or go hiking! I just moved to Concord, NH a few years ago for law school, and this is my first summer here! During the school year, there’s not a lot of time to get out and explore, so that’s really that I’ve loved doing this summer. 🙂
Go on walks and read.
I love running outside before the day gets started, but my favorite things lately arestrolling with my baby girl (9 months next week… waaaah!) and the pup, watching her play in her little pool, and walking to the park to swing. Life is so good with a little buddy!
My favorite things are grilling out, and fishing!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer has been backpacking and camping! I don’t get many weekends off work but when I do I’m definitely off exploring somewhere!
paddle boarding for sure!
My favorite thing to do is lay out by the pool!
lay on the beach!
My favorite thing to do outside is walk my dog!
Definitely love exploring the city of Portland, ME since I just moved here. Plenty to do & see, and is a very walkable city. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love to sis it by the pool with a good book! I also love to get ice cream from Graeter’s or the local creamy whip!
Favourite summertime thing would have to be anything out on the water followed by grilling at my FIL lakehouse. Actually, just grilling in general.
I love going to the beach!
RIght now I am loving sitting outside on my swing eating a popsicle in the afternoons! haha gotta beat the heat somehow!
I just LOVE reading magazines at the beach or by the pool!
I love going for walks or reading outside!
Hi Julie!
I love visiting the Maine coast and spending the day at the ocean. It’s especially a great day when my teenage daughter joins me!
Thank you 🙂
During the summer, I love to go for evening walks and read outside by the pool. When I get too hot, I just swim some laps and get back out to read some more.
My favorite thing to do outside in the summer would have to be going to the beach and playing summer sports (volleyball, softball) Summer if my favorite time of the year because there is so much you can do outside of the house – I love the sunshine!
Hi Julie!
I’m loving long early morning walks, before the heat kicks in and the day gets crazy–going to miss these once school starts up again!

I love going to our family’s lake house for weekend getaways. During the week, I love just getting outside to unwind even to just grill and listen to music while enjoying an adult beverage.
I love taking my dog for long evening walks in the summer! Anything outside in the summer is awesome! Love those long days!
My favorite thing is to sit on the beach with a cold drink and book in hand. Sadly that happens only a couple times of summer now, if I’m lucky!
I love to run in the early morning hours and walk the pups in the evenings when it isn’t too hot!
Love either boating or going to the river!
Going to the beach!
hiking!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is going on walks with my boyfriend!
Walking my pup!
Swimming, biking, boating, and just being outside!
What a great giveaway! My favorite things to do outside in the summer are running, and sitting with my toes in the pool with a book 🙂
I like to go on long walks with my son and sometimes as a special treat we’ll walk to Starbucks. We also spend a lot of time at the park playing, picnicking, and even bringing outdoor arts and crafts activities to do!
Hang out by the pool and play volleyball with friends
Running definitely. And also watching my son play baseball. Thee is nothing better than a beautiful night and kids cheering!
Summer BBQs are the best. Even better if there’s a pool or lake nearby. But sitting with your friends, enjoying a cold beverage, and just chatting away is my favorite summer activity!
Kayak!! I got one for Mother’s Day and love it!!! By the way – you are simply glowing!!!!
Definitely running–my son is helping me train for our first 5K in September, and we’ve enjoyed cooler than usual temps, which means more outside running!
Golf!
One of my favorite things is getting out and playing golf with my husband!
Mini-golf! My husband and I play all summer and see who has the most wins at the end. We’re a little competitive.
My favorite thing to do during the summer is to go down to the Keys and be out on the water. I live in South Florida near the ocean, so anything involving the beach and getting in the water is always on my weekend/off day to do list! Kayaking and boat riding are among the favorites of my husband and I.
Hiking, walks by the river and ice cream dates!
In the summer, I love to have big water fights in the garden with lots of friends and going swimming in an outdoor pool.
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is float in our pool! We got a new floatie, well, floating island, that is actually made for lakes. I loved it so much we measured to make sure it fit in the pool! ◡̈
Sitting by the fire at night after a long hot day!
