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 really love picnic lunches at the pool with my daughter!
When it’s not TOO hot, my favorite thing to do is go hiking! Love the OGX stuff I’ve tried so far.
My favorite thing to do this summer has been going on walks. I just bought a house near a million walking paths, and it’s been a lot of fun exploring Minnesota.
I love taking my two year old to the watermark or our local splash pad! We have the best time, and we get to spend our day together; do what we love…being in the water!

I love going to the lake!
Running and going to the beach 🙂
My favorite thing to do is swim!
I enjoy the quiet of the mornings and drinking coffee outside with my dog while it’s not too hot! Lake and boat time are also high on the list!
Taking my kiddos to the pool!!
Love this giveaway!! I’ve been squeezing lemons into my hair lately at the beach and I love this as an alternative! ( much less messy I’m sure:))
Definitely go to the beach!!!
I love to ride bikes with my husband!
i love to go swimming this summer: beaches and pools!
This summer I’m loving introducing my kids to the ocean! We have planned a day trip for this coming weekend, and are packing the sand toys and kites!
I’m also cruising through a summer pregnancy and my go-to spot, like yours, is the lake! I found the perfect mesh-bottom raft that keeps me in the water but not so vulnerable to having fish touch me (totally freaks me out). And — bonus — it’s extremely comfortable to lounge on belly-down, so I can finally even out my tan!
I’ve been drinking my morning coffee outside every day and it’s a great way to start my days.
Now that I live at an apartment with an outdoor pool, my favorite thing to do on a nice day is head to the pool and also swim a bit.
My favorite outside activity during the summer is taking my little one on a run! She loves to laugh, eat cheerios and kick her little feet in the wind while I drip sweat and try not to die behind her, haha. We live in Chicago, where the winters can be fierce, so we try to make the most out of our outside runs while we can. 🙂
Being from Canada we definitely take advantage of our summer months. My favorite thing to do is to take my bike out and tour the city or pack a picnic lunch to take to one of our many parks to enjoy.
I love to ride my bike and just sit by the water in the Chicago harbors!
I recently learned to wakeboard, so I love being out on the lake wake boarding and kayaking the day away!
Going boating and laying out with friends!
Swimming and night walks with the hubby and pup are summertime favorites!
I love to swim and golf on sunny days 🙂
We just got a boat so every chance I get I’m out on the water!
(I swear I’m not trying to steal your identity)
Swimming in my parents pool! My son and his friends love it too!
I love taking long walks with my dog!
I just placed an Amazon order for a bunch of random stuff and once again I forgot to look into that highlight activating mist! I’m taking a break from coloring my hair, as I figure I do enough damage to it already.
Picking my favorite thing to do outside in the summer is tough, but I would have to say paddleboarding!
I love to hike!
I love long evening walks when the sun is setting and the weather is perfect!
My new favorite outside activity is my weekly hour long walk with a girlfriend on a gorgeous hiking path! We go around 5pm so it’s not too hot, and helps you relax after your work day!
I love taking long walks with my husband and our dog in the evenings! 🙂
Floating in my pool! 🙂
Floating around on a boat all day and tubing off the back!!
I love to head to the beach and relax with a good book!!!
Enjoying beers with the neighbors!
I love going to the beach or laying out by the pool!
My favorite thing to do lately is stand up paddle boarding!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is read on the beach!
I am loving being out on the boat this summer – we boat in Lake Springfield in Illinois. The little ones love it and so do we! There is no better way to spend a weekend 🙂
I love going for long walks in the summer. I always feel like I’m stuck inside all winter because I hate the cold, so I try to get outside as much as possible in the summer and just enjoy walking everywhere.
I have been dying to go to the beach but haven’t had time between classes and working.
Ah! I love OGX products. Never heard of the highlight spray before. I just like to be outdoors, hiking some trails, anywhere near the water, etc.
I love being outside in the backyard or at my sisters pool with my 2 kids. Years ago I used to spray sun-in in my hair. I’d love to see if these products would lighten my locks. Your hair looks beautiful!
Find a park with some live music – set up a blanket and relax and listen!
I love taking walks with my family!
Kayaking! My favorite summer relaxation and sport rolled into one.
We love to camp! Living in the mountains of NC (Asheville area) there are so many beautiful places to spend the weekends outside! We recently found a great place in Cedar Mountain NC that is close to so many hiking trails and waterfalls – we are going almost every weekend! Good thing it’s a relatively cheap thing to do!
Early morning runs (to beat the heat) and evening drinks with my girlfriends!
My favorite thing to do outside this summer is swim in the lake and eat ice cream! 🙂
