This Summer Fridays mist is a new mainstay in my travel bag.
I am a sucker for a new release. All said, when Summer Fridays released their Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist, I waited patiently until I confidently could go and buy it and tell myself it wasn’t really an impulse buy. Now I that I’ve had it for quite some time, I’ll let you know…

This won’t be a full-on product review here, but I do want to point out something. Maybe you should read instructions. I think back to my seeming hatred for the Laneige lip mask. Everyone it seems everywhere uses it as a lip balm. So, I followed suit, and I hated it. It seemed like it…
