I hate to say it, but is it Fall yet? Unless I can be at the beach the rest of the summer it’s safe to say I’m over it. I just moved from Philly to NYC last week and it’s really a toss up as to which one is more excruciating when you’re walking the streets and experiencing those god awful baking garbage smells. Only a month to go! But in the meantime, I need some rescue remedies.

One of the items I always like to have with me is an Evian spritz bottle. Yes, it’s just water in a can. And I find it to be worth the “$15 for two” deal at Sephora. It’s a great way to quickly refresh yourself when you’re overheating, or feeling claustrophobic on a busy subway (or even on an airplane!) It can also help set your makeup (just be sure to use a light mist for this). Another great and refreshing option is the Caudalie Beauty Elixir. This option is pricier, as its $18 for a 1oz bottle, but I have been through 2 of these and they have each lasted me an entire year. The Caudalie spray contains essential oils including peppermint, rosemary and mint. Both work well and are available in “to-go” sizes, making them perfect for your commute or when you’re traveling.
