Summer Must-Haves

Warm weather is quickly approaching, and it's about time! Summer is full of laughter, sunshine, and relaxation-or at least it should be. Girls, there are certain necessities for the summer. Yes, necessities (even though your boyfriends or husbands may not agree).
• With warmer weather comes a wearing of swimsuits. So make sure you feel fabulous in yours. If you feel like it is time to treat yourself, buy a new swimsuit this summer. I've found that buying a new swimsuit will increase your motivation to work out. It is true for me. I just kept saying to myself, "Oh no, only 1 month until I will have to wear it out in public!" You'd be surprised at how much faster and how much harder you will work out.
• Wear sunscreen. I know a lot of younger women refuse to wear sunscreen because they want to get as much sun as possible-wanting a great tan. I used to be one of those girls. But you do really need to protect your skin. Just think: if you don't, you'll be leathery and wrinkly sooner than you normally would've been. You don't have to become a hermit and hide from sunlight; just be smart about it.
• Pedicures! Yes. Again, I say: necessity. You don't have to go get it done professionally. You can always do it yourself. Believe me; it can even make you more confident while you strut your stuff in your new swimwear. Pretty toes=big smile on your face.
• Get a few or a few dozen summer dresses. The best place I have found to find cute, unique, and lightweight summer dresses is in a dress boutique. Summer dresses are great because you can dress them up or keep them casual with flip flops. Both ways look fabulous.
• New hair. Treat yourself to a little change, whether that is a haircut or a dye job. Get something fresh and new. You will feel your confidence just jump.
• Sunglasses. Get some updated, trendy sunglasses. Or you can always stick to the classics that never go out of style. Just find some that you are comfortable and confident wearing.
• How could I not add sandals to this list? Yes, sandals, sandals, and even more sandals. With such a plethora to choose from, you really can't go wrong. Just find some fun, flirty sandals and you are good to go.
