Saying bye to summer with the perfect recipe for goodness via Khiera Nicole

Being a summer baby, I hate saying good-bye to summer. Days get shorter, weather becomes a little gloomier and the beach just isn't on the agenda as much. But on the flip side, I love layering outfits, I love the cooler nights for bonfires and snuggling up on the couch for some lazy time in front of the TV. What I also love is the transition of summer food into autumn and winter and I've found the perfect recipe you can try at home by my girl Khiera Nicole. I love all of her easy to follow recipes and wish I had the creativity to cook as well as she does but I don't so if you're like me I definitely recommend checking out her website http://khieranicole.com/ for simple but delicious meals!

Summertime fine

Looks like Melbourne is heating up again, YES! A lot of people have asked me in the past how I keep the dewy look even in the heat and humidity of summer. To be honest it ain't easy, so I've compiled my ultimate guide on products I like to use and how to apply them to achieve a sexy dewy glow, not a sweaty mess. I've chosen MAC Face & Body because it's buildable, looks like skin and feels super light for summer, I'd love to know what your ultimate dewy go-to product would be. Here's my guide...

Summer vs Winter

Melbourne has been on that bi-polar heat stroke as of late, if it ain't super hot then it's raining and muggy. As a result, my skin can't get use to the same products on the daily however I have managed to stick with a few staples I use over the summer months and winter months that have become my faves over the last year. You'll notice that my choice of winter products are much heavier and creamier, this is because my skin tends to dry out and I need that extra moisture to keep that dewy look I prefer. My summer product staple has to be my all time fave MAC Fix + spray or fancy water as some call it ;)
