DIY Complexion Mist

We love keeping our skin clean and hydrated, but we just can't stand using harsh chemicals! All of our products were getting bulky for traveling and we started thinking maybe there is a way to combine all of the oils we just can't live without into a daily, all-in-one face regimen. We needed something that didn't involve cotton balls or q-tips for when we are on the go, so what better than a face spray! We are hooked, our friends are hooked, you should get hooked too!

1 part diluted Tea Tree Oil (mix 1 part tea tree oil to 1 part filtered water) - Tea tree oil is great for blemishes and acts as a natural antibacterial disinfectant, but because it's an oil, it doesn't leave your skin dry.
1 part Vitamin E oil - Vitamin E oil is an amazing moisturizer. It is light weight which keeps it from clogging pores. Like aloe, it is great for after the sun when skin is left dried out.
1 part Witch Hazel (make sure not to get a witch hazel that has been mixed with alcohol, which is very common!) Witch hazel is a gentle astringent. Like the tea tree oil, it reduces bacteria on the face to help prevent the formation of blemishes.
1 part filtered water.
Combine these 4 ingredients (don't forget to dilute your tea tree oil!) in a spray bottle, and shake before every use to mix the oil and water. Spray 3-4 times on face and neck, and rub in any excess into your skin. Put it in the fridge in the summer for a refreshing complexion mist to hydrate your sun-kissed skin while cooling you off. Throw in your bag and take it to a festival for a very low maintenance way to stay as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside. <3

Delfest 2012

Things could not have been more perfect this year at Delfest...beautiful weather, beautiful music, a beautiful landscape, and beautiful people all over the place! Thanks to all who helped put it together, and all of our wonderful customers who made it so fun for us to be there.
 We love Alex! Alex's voice may be familiar to some, as often times she is on the other end of the Blue Sky line sounding so cheerful and taking care of everyone's needs.
There's Erik putting the party booth together! We love Erik, too! He keeps everything orderly and takes care of business in the Blue Sky warehouse. Without Erik we'd be lost.
One of our favorite dresses in stock right now, Dupree's Diamonds, hugs this groovy gal in all the right places.
It's our blue haired helper, Free munching down! Our friends of the festival may recognize Free from helping out at the Blue Sky booth over the weekend. Thanks for everything, Free!!
Looking groovy, girlfriend! This Assymetrical Spinner looks like it was made for this beauty. Check out our travel dressing room behind her, we come prepared! :)
That smile lights up a room! One of our younger fans has everyone checking out how great she looks in our Girls Maxi Dress.
Always a party at the Blue Sky Booth! 
This rock star came by to check out some groovy clothes but decided he was better off without a shirt...
What a great look! We love her style, and were very happy that our Silk Pocket Passport could keep her hands free...better for dancing! :)
What a timeless look! Long skirts are so flattering and fun to spin around in.
And THAT is how you rock our It's A Cinch skirt!!
We love hoopers!
Between the Flare Foldover Pants and the Color Block Bucket Bag, this heady hooper has got the right idea!! :)
Another gorgeous assymetrical spinner in a different color this time.
What is one to do in a situation like this?? 2 equally awesome pairs of pants...we'll show you which pair she chooses later.
Fits perfect!
Our Party Time dress is no joke, as soon as you put it on, it's time to party!!! :)
Her 3rd eye jewelry looks pretty far out with our Maxi Tube dress.
What a beautiful smile on this lovely lady who is lovin' her Blue Sky skirt!
It looks like our Favorite Tie Dye Skirt may be her new favorite too!
Our customer from earlier who just didn't know which tie dye to go with came back to show us how awesome she looks in the color she chose. Babies, hoops and Blue sky, OH MY!
What a groovy group of gals!
She's looking too adorable in our Butterfly Dress.
As she is demonstrating above, this dress is great to have a beer in! :)
She is the Belle of the ball in our Bella Dress. That color is just perfect for her, it looks so great!
This future stylist for the stars just HAD to have this scarf to complete his ensemble.
Another gorgeous take on our Bella Dress...it looks so great on her, too! We are beginning to think that this dress makes women look like goddesses!
What a perfect festival look!
She's looking fabulous in our Vertically Aligned Dress. We love vertical stripes, they're funky and flattering!
We love the addition of a tail to these pants.
That is such a great color on her!
The face paint on this gorgeous girlfriend really takes this dress to a new level!
We love this shot of two lovely ladies in some Blue Sky tie dye skirts walking at sunset.
You may recognize these two cuties from our photos from Delfest last year. They're always rockin' the Blue Sky...we love you guys!
 We see you over there looking great in that skirt!
It wasn't all work though, we did get to check out some great music while we were there, too.
Hoops, hoops, and more hoops! We love seeing all the party people shakin' their tail feathers out there!
Thumbs up right back at ya, girlfriend!
Blue Sky everywhere!!! We love our kitty cat dress for young girls, it's so sweet! Can't leave out Mom though, who's in the background sporting the peace sign cargo bag.
Umm...can we go with you guys???
We were trying to catch Free in her natural habitat, selling the Blue Sky, but she totally caught us.
These pants were a hit this weekend!
We love seeing the vendors supporting the Blue Sky!
Such a gorgeous landscape in Cumberland, MD.
Some party people on the move.
Land of the free, home of the tie dye!
We love this tiered skirt, it makes us want to sit down and have a picnic! <3
Free's having a good time as the weekend comes to a close, looking great in one of our favorite dresses.
Thank you to everyone who supported us and hung out at the Blue Sky booth this weekend, it was great to party with the people and have some fun. We look forward to next year.
