August Favorites
Wow, August felt like it flew by! While in the PR world, we are focused on holiday gift guide season, we’re still soaking up what we have left of summer. Read through the GSPR Teams’ favorites from this month.
Sara’s Favorites:
Hailey Bieber Nail Trend
I love this glazed donut mani trend started by HB! It’s a perfectly neutral white/pink base, with a sheer layer of chrome dust that delivers a pretty iridescent look. Although I’ve seen this trend over and over, I can’t help but be obsessed.
May Martin Boutique in Costa Mesa
May Martin is a jewelry line, but the owner also has two retail boutiques in Costa Mesa. The retail locations carry the CUTEST clothes, bikinis, jewelry and accessories – all very beachy-chic vibe!
For a couple summer vacays, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect straw hat. I ordered this one a couple weeks ago and love the style, fit and design. It even landed in the pool, but had zero damage – a testament to its quality.
World’s First Podcast with Erin & Sara Foster
This is a lighthearted and fun podcast that you makes you feel like you’re in a conversation with your close girlfriends. There are life lessons, valuable takeaways, inspirational insights mixed in with humor, and relatability. These two Foster sisters are also an entertaining follow on Instagram!
I am obsessed with hot sauce and everything spicy. I recently found Zabs at the grocery store and decided to try – it can be added to anything really, but lately I like putting it on my scrambled eggs. Delish!!
Lis’ Favorites:
For Your Feet: Eva Sandals from Birkenstock
Plastic, practical, perfect for camping, lake life, and the beach!
For Your Skin: SunBum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Oil
Perfect for legs and body for those shorts and dresses. Won't dry you out.
For Your Entertainment: Jane The Virgin from Netflix
This show has won my husband and me over! It's the perfect mix of comedy, heart, and satire. Great for summer weeknights!
For Your Brain: The New York Times Morning Newsletter
Get your news right in your inbox along with an in-depth analysis of a news story each morning. I don't need anything else!
For Your Health: Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Protein
I put it in my coffee or smoothie in the morning, and believe me, my hair and nails have never been healthier or stronger!
Kristina’s Favorites:
Biopelle Tensage Intensive Serum 40 10 ampoules - Dermstore
After I get a clear and brilliant treatment, I put these ampules all over my face for a few days. They contain snail mucus (ew) but they are full of amazing anti aging ingredients.
The HEAL Podcast on Apple Podcasts
I have become obsessed with Kelly Noonan and her Netflix documentary, Heal, and now I am listening to her podcast and reading her book. It is fascinating and hopeful..
Becoming Supernatural By Joe Dispenza
I have listened to Joe Dispenza interviewed on many podcasts and was inspired to read his book. I can’t wait to take one of his courses.
Acid-Kicking Coffee Vanilla Alkalizer – Alkamind
I add this to my coffee every morning. Now I can’t drink coffee without it.
Transcendental Meditation® Technique
I took a course a few years ago and when I practice religiously, I really notice a profound difference in the way I feel, my moods and how I handle stress. I am committed to getting back into my meditation routine.
Emma’s Favorites:
Anastasia Strong Hold Clear Brow Gel
Even on days I don’t fill in my eyebrows, I love using this brow gel to make me look more puttogether. It gives you the feathered look and stays in place all day! This is the very last step of my makeup routine.
This custom candle bar in San Diego is a great date idea or girls night outing! You get to create a personalized candle by choosing your own combination of scents they have to offer.
Coach Pillow Madison Shoulder Bag
I received this purse as a birthday gift this month, and I am obsessed with the powder blue color. I also love how the strap easily switches between a crossbody and a shoulder bag. I feel like Coach is making a comeback and popping off with their newer designs.
This is my new favorite wine! It’s sweeter than most Pinots (maybe too sweet for some), but it’s also rich and smooth.
I love The Knockout in Beverly shorts specifically, because they are not too short! I feel confident when I wear them and not afraid that they are riding up. They are so comfy and loose on the thighs!
