Hi, I’m Lauren. I work on the social media and marketing team at W Design and I’m excited to share a few of my essentials that are perfect for summer.
Club C Vintage Reeboks - I bought these shoes last summer and since then I’ve worn them at least once a week. They’re a little bit different than your typical white sneakers and sooo comfy.
Hourglass Lengthening Mascara - My go-to mascara for the last few years. It’s a tubing mascara and comes off so easily (no more scrubbing my eyes at night), it doesn’t transfer or smudge at all, and it makes my lashes look so long.

Cync Color Changing Light Bulb - Having the right amount and color of light in a room makes a huge difference and that’s why I love this light bulb. You can control the color and brightness from your phone (I love the candlelight setting). I also love that you can turn it off and on with your phone so you don’t have to get out of bed 😂.
Vintage Heathered T-Shirt - Such a good basic tee! The material is a little thicker but still breathable and last time I checked it was on sale for $9!!
Glossier Orange Blossom Candle - One of my favorite candles to burn when I want to relax. It has a light, but warm scent that reminds me of a day at the spa or the beach.

Lola’s Street Kitchen - If you’re local to Utah, you have to try this cute restaurant in Midway. They have great food and super cute outdoor seating. I love the fries, salads, and gluten free chicken nuggets.
Salted Caramel Ice Cream Bars - I always keep these in my freezer during the summer. The perfect treat that’s also healthy-ish.

Butter Glow Liquid Bronzer - I’ve been loving more minimal makeup for summer and this bronzer gives me the prettiest glow. I love pairing it with some concealer and a cream blush (like I did here) but it also works great underneath your makeup for an overall color and glow (a great dupe for the drunk elephant drops).
Elf Blending Brush - This brush has quickly replaced all of my others and it’s SO affordable ($7). I use it for concealer, liquid bronzer, and cream blush and it blends everything so well.
