Hey TAGG readers! I’m back from over at Thanks, I Made It with a new DIY for you. When you’re an absolute jewelry fiend like me and my girl Alyson here, you tend to crave solutions to store your baubles just as much as your next statement necklace. With my ever-growing collection of rings and earrings (lots of DIY earrings over at Thanks, I Made It!), I need a clear way to organize and display them that is pretty and functional.

Foam core
Small box (this one from a baublebar purchase!)
Craft knife and/or scissors
Ruler
Decorative paper
Hot glue and glue gun

Beyond the amazing summer beauty finds shared last week by more than a dozen bloggers — excited to try so many! — I’ve been eager to share a few new products loves as well.

Sites like coupons.com are awesome for a quick check because they give you coupon codes, deets on free deluxe samples, free gifts and way more. Whether you shop online a little or a lot, it’s always worth the extra 10 seconds to check it out.. who doesn’t want more fun free samples? {if you don’t, I’ll pass along my mailing addy!}
one. dr. scholl’s rub relief strips: skin rubbing against your shoe? Amazing little strip adheres to shoe to prevent blisters. two.pink papaya face polish: super gentle and smells deliciously good. Get it directly from a Pink Papaya rep. three. mario badescu facial mist: incredibly refreshing. Try keeping it at your desk after running lunch errands.
four. ysl touche eclat: ok, truth, this is on my swoon list! I’ve heard it’s beyond for adding light and minimizing circles and darkness… I’m determined to make it mine. five. sephora collection concealer brush: amazing for hard-to-reach zones, like around the nose and corner of your eye. (on sale!) six. revlon just bitten: get a touch of ultra-hydrating color with these affordable chubby pencils.

As the temperatures rise, good beauty products are worth their weight in gold. Make my skin look matte (yet glowing) even when I’m feeling shiny and sweaty, or keep my fizzy hair at bay when humidity is out of control, and I’m yours forever. So when it came time to find tried and true products, we enlisted 13 amazingly talented + gorgeous bloggers — who often spend their time on both sides of the camera — and, as you can see below, they had no shortage of great tips and product recs for the average gal. Check out their favorite products and tips to beat the heat each summer!
There is a fine line between dewy and greasy skin. This may seem a bit pricey for a primer, but I have never used anything that works better for helping my makeup stay-put in the most humid temperatures. I discovered it when we lived in North Carolina and even during the sweltering August heat, I was shine-free all-day long!
I never use this on my lips, but I always use it on my cheeks. Originally it was created for a dancer in the 1970s so it’s made for being active and won’t come off like other blush when you’re outside in the heat!
product:one love organics skin savior balm
I LOVE the savior balm. I use it every single day – and a little goes a long way. You can do lots of different things with it but I mainly use it for moisturizing – and taming some of those little fly away hairs!
If TAGG can be any sort of guide, it’s sharing with you critical information. Like how fun you are at a party, car trip or wedding when you know all of the lyrics to a fun 80′s or 90′s song. No need to know every song – that can get intense, if you know what I mean — but we’re all about busting out a few jams. A personal favorite? Whoomp, There it is by Tag Team. Yeah, I’m comin’ straight at ya, when I sing (ok, kind of awfully semi-mumble!) all of the lyrics. I definitely don’t wrap as fast as they do, but I have fond, err, awkward memories of hitting fast forward and rewind maybe more than once or twice to get these lyrics down, and I have to admit, I’m pretty proud of my talent! Even if I’m in the car by myself and this song comes out… watch out. It’s a dance party up in here! What’s your favorite must-know lyrics?? {ps: how great is watching this video?}
Party people
Yeah Tag Team music comin’ straight atacha
That’s me DC the Brain Supreme
And my man Steve Roll’n
We’re kicking the flow we’re kickin’
And it goes a little somethin’ like this
Tag Team back again check it top
Wreck it – let’s begin
Party people let me hear some noise
DC’s in the house jump jump and rejoice
There’s a party over here
a party over there
Wave your hands in the air
Shake the deriere
These three words mean you’re gettin’ busy
Whoomp there it is
whoomp there it is
