  • Have Fun with Color - If you have really light eyes like I do, a variety of eyeliners are a must! Just using a simple liner pencil is a quick and easy way to highlight your eyes, and you can play around with crazy colors for a fun look. I like black mascara because it makes my eyes look more dramatic… just make sure it’s waterproof.

  • Embrace Smooth Legs - A good razor is a MUST, especially during the summertime… my favorite is Venus Embrace! It’s the new 5-blade razor that I cannot live without. It really hugs my curves and keeps my legs super smooth.

  • Ride the Waves and Go Crazy with Curls! - Summer is the time for shape and body! Whether going out dancing or dressing up for a nice dinner, a spiral curling iron can give your hair some extra bounce. Also, always take a defining-spray or gel with you to the beach … applying it to your hair after swimming is a quick way to get awesome "beachy" waves.

  • Sun Dress to Impress - Sundresses are my favorite wardrobe item… hands down! I love wearing them as a bikini cover-up, or around town with flip-flops -- even out at night with a fun pair of shoes. A good sundress always works, especially white ones that contrast your cute summer tan.

  • Go Bohemian - This look calls for a massive amount of accessories! Tie a silk scarf around your neck or around your head, bust out your huge cloth bag, and adorn yourself with leather bracelets, beads and hoop earrings. And don’t forget the big sunglasses… inexpensive ones because if you’re like me, you WILL lose them!

  • End the Day like a Goddess - I love coming home from the road and taking a long bath while listening to my favorite music. Add some candles and you’ll have a relaxing experience that leaves you feeling like the princess you are!

    I love summer!
    Happy Summer! I know it’s been summer for a while now but I am having an “I love summer” moment. I’m wearing a new sundress with my favorite cowboy boots. I know. I know. I know…Cowboy boots aren’t all that summery, but I wear mine year-round. Of course, I’m a big fan of flip-flops too. I must have at least 20 pairs! Other summer styles I am so into right now…halter tops, espadrilles, sarongs and casual curls! It’s so beautiful outside that I feel bad hanging out inside at my computer. I’ll write more later!

    You inspire me!
    I was doing an interview the other day and this reporter asked me who my inspiration is. I told her about my grandmother who was a professional opera singer. When I was little, I wanted to be just like her. What I didn’t say, but I’ve been thinking about ever since the interview, is that my fans inspire me every day. I know it sounds corny but it’s true. You are so supportive and encouraging. I couldn’t do it without you.

    Roller coaster, anyone?
    We’ve been traveling all day and I’d rather be anywhere than on a bus right now. It’s a perfect summer night. The sun is setting. We just passed by a carnival. It looked like so much fun! I begged my manager to stop even though I know we’re on a tight schedule. I had to ask cuz I love country fairs. Skeeball. Cotton candy. Fried dough. Swinging your legs on the Ferris wheel. What’s not to love? I think that when this tour is over, I’m gonna to take my band and crew to the closest amusement park. See you there?

    Hi from the road!
    I’m having a blast on the road with the Rascal Flatts. It’s so AMAZING to see all your beautiful faces in the crowd. What would I do without you all? You’re the best! Next time I’m on tour though I think I should bring like a month’s supply of chocolate caramel ice cream with me. ha ha. It’s my favorite flavor and hard to find. Chocolate caramel ice cream cravings aside, I really love being on tour. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your support. Thank you. Thank you!!!
