00:00Hey y'all, I'm Marissa and I'm here in partnership with Essence and Target
00:04to give you your guide to thrive this summer.
00:12So summer is the best time of the year. You can either go outside and go to the beach,
00:17have brunch, but my favorite thing to do is kick it inside of the house.
00:20These are some of my favorite things for a girls night in and you can find them all
00:24at Target. The first thing you need is a flip stick. This is actually NASA tested adhesive that you can
00:30stick to any smooth surface and your soapy game is going to be so on point. So I actually use this
00:36on all of my phones when I go into Target stores and I can stick it right on the self checkout and
00:42take cool videos with it. I even stick it to my car windows if I want to take a cool shot outside
00:47of Target. So this next one that you need is Glam Body Scrubs. This mango one smells so good y'all.
00:55This feels so good on the inside. You kind of have to wet your skin a little bit, but once you do
01:00and you put it on yourself and you move in like gentle circles like this, I promise you,
01:05your skin will feel amazing. Next thing you need to do is bring yourself some actual Black Girl Magic
01:11by getting yourself a can of the Black Girl Magic Sparkling Rosé. There's nothing like winding down
01:16with your girls and you grab your rosé and you grab some popcorn and watching some of your favorite
01:21shows. But tonight we're going to grab some glasses and we're going to toast to the good life. Next
01:26thing you're going to need is watermelon water. Maybe you're not a wine girl, maybe you're a mocktail
01:30girl. You can just pour this over some ice and it has tons of electrolytes to give you all the
01:35hydration that you need. It also has no sugar so you can drink as much as you want and still be slim
01:41and trim for summertime. Y'all know I'm from Florida. It gets real hot outside so sometimes
01:46when you need a little extra hydration and water just not going to cut it, you can take some of
01:50this with you and feel motivated and strong throughout the day. The next thing we need
01:54for a girls night in is snacks, honey. And I thought I was obsessed with the Pipcorn popcorn,
02:00but y'all have to try the cheese balls. So Pipcorn actually makes things with heirloom corn,
02:05so it makes everything crunchier and they bake it instead of frying it. So it's overall just better for
02:11you. It's also filled with fiber and antioxidants so you can eat as much as you want without feeling
02:16guilty. My favorite thing to do is to fill an entire bowl with this and just eat until the bowl's
02:22empty but not have anybody know I did it. All right, so maybe you don't like salty but you like sweet,
02:27you've got to get yourself some parquet cookies. So last year the lemon cookies were only in the seasonal
02:32section, but this year the lemon cookies are in Target 365. And when I turned 30, my body started
02:39betraying me and now I'm allergic to nuts. So it's also free, the top nine allergens.
02:44Keeping true to being a Black-owned brand, Denise is giving back to the community by having a
02:49fellowship for HBCU students where she gives them mentorships and help them find jobs.
02:55So Jasmine Foster is my girl. She actually keeps me spending all my money on stationery. She was
03:00actually the first Black-owned brand to make stationery inside of Target. I actually like to do
03:06literacy days with my friends where we sit down and we try to plan out maybe our month or maybe our
03:14next three months for all the big goals that we have. And then we check on each other to try to get
03:20ourselves to some of those big goals that we have in our lives. This has been my summer guide to thrive
03:27inside. And thank you so much to Essence and Target for partnering with me.
