Gearing up for the summer months

1) Buy the things you'll need like sunscreen or season passes to a theme park. Buy cool clothes and accessories that are 'in' this season so that you look totally stylish. If you're on a tight budget, then stay close to home.

2) You will feel very lazy during the summer, so don't wear a lot of make-up, but still, take care of yourself. Wear some waterproof mascara, full coverage foundation (be sure to take it off at night), add a small amount of blush to give you a shimmering glow, and don't forget lip gloss. Get some that blends with your lips.

3) Join some classes for the summer. Don't waste this season watching TV everyday. Get into crafts classes, swimming classes or even dancing classes. Anything that can keep you from spending hours watching TV.

4) Start working on your body. You can play badminton, volleyball, Frisbee, ping pong etc. If you aren't too active, a walk in the park will do you good. Maybe start eating healthier so you will feel your best when you wear that bikini.

5) Work on your confidence. There's nothing better than someone walking with her head straight up feeling her best. Plus, guys will stop to check you out.

6) Rent a beach house. There's nothing better than relaxing at the beach watching the ocean.

7) Have fun, after all it's your summer. Live it like you want to and make the best of the time that you get to spend with your family.
