Start with a mattifying moisturizer “The best way to combat super-shiny skin in the summer without making it look dead and completely flat is by using a moisturizer that helps to keep shine away, like Juara Sweet Black Tea & Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer," Matin syas. "What it basically does is take away existing shine and control oil, but at the same time gives skin the moisture it needs and the kind of nutrients a good night sleep would. It really wakes up your skin as if it’s gotten a good sleep."

We at Ronnie's have the creative food packages that please all palettes, you take care of the entertainment. The following article gives great ideas for entertaining at a summer birthday party.

• Popcorn Drop

  This easy relay race can work at a birthday party of any size. We think it's most fun with four to eight players.
  1. First, you'll need to make two pairs of shoe cups. Use a pushpin to poke holes in the bottom of plastic cups. Push a wide rubber band through the holes, and secure it inside the cup with a paper clip.
  2. To play, split the birthday party guests into two teams. The first player straps cups on her shoes and fills them with popcorn from a bag at the starting line. Then, she hustles to a basket on the other end of the lawn. After she dumps out her popcorn in the baskets and races back, the next player follows suit.
  3. The race is over when one of the bags of popcorn is empty. Measure the popcorn in the baskets to see which team actually got the most in.
