CC's Summer Self-Care Spectacular!

Darlings, happy last week of May! Nourish mind and body with CC's summer self-care essentials:
Hello Sunday The Shimmer One SPF 45: this 100% mineral SPF 45 shimmer stick with Hyaluronic Acid provides head to toe protection & on-the-go, golden-hour glow. Doubles as a highlighter for face & body! 
Gitti Lip Glaze No. 02,  at gittibeauty.com.
Bubble Skincare Plus One Tinted Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40: this marvelous mineral formula protects skin from damaging UVA/UVB rays while adding a bronzy tint. It's non-greasy, non-comedogenic, and doesn’t leave chalky white cast on skin. Moreover, it’s tinted with a beautiful bronze glow that blurs and perfects skin’s appearance.
 Dr. BRANDT Microdermabrasion Body Exfoliator, inspired by in-office microdermabrasion, features 95% natural origin ingredients. This lightweight, peppermint-scented cream removes dead surface skin cells, improves the look of bumps and rough patches, polishes, smoothes and moisturizes for glowing, baby-soft skin!
Marvis Whitening Mint Toothpaste, with a sharp taste of cool mint for a pleasant and lasting freshness, helps remove plaque while gently whitening teeth, for a bright, beautiful, splendid summer smile!  
Timeline Mitopure Gummies support cellular health by helping remove damaged mitochondria and waste (a process called mitophagy) and creating new, healthy mitochondria, improving the cell’s ability to produce energy, which translates to the body feeling stronger and more energized. It’s the only supplement clinically shown to reactivate this essential biological pathway!
Dumpling Daughter Sichuan Sesame Soy Sauce marries the rich taste of toasted sesame with tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorn and savory soy sauce. The ultimate addition to any dish—whether drizzling over dumplings, stirring into noodles, or using as a marinade. Get ready to make it your new pantry staple!
Care-e-On En Route Hoodie, your everyday essential for breezy summer nights and chilly flights! Made from 100% recycled cotton.
Make your hoodie haute with The Ends, unique accessories that elevate the simple drawstring with next level personalization and panache! This fresh category in fashion makes loungewear feel intentional and expressive: choose from an abundance of chic charms to adorn the strings of your hoodies or sneakers. See below!
The Ends Evil Eye Charm, jewelry for your drawstrings, laces and more!
Which of these awesome items will you add to your summer self-care routine?
