How to Look Your Best On The Beach

When summertime comes around, you will probably start thinking about how you're going to look walking around on the beach, enjoying the sun and hanging out with your friends for long nights out in the warm weather. If you're like most people, you'll be thinking about how you can make sure you look your best during the summer season. There are several strategies that you can use to get yourself ready for summer.

Instructions

• 1

  Visit your local salon or day spa for a manicure and pedicure with your girlfriends. Summertime is all about wearing flip-flops and showing off those beautiful toes, so make sure that you choose a color that matches your personal style. If you want to save some money, consider inviting your friends over for a girls' night to paint your nails.

• 2

  Cut your hair, get extensions or put some new color in your hair for the summer months. Short hair is an excellent choice for the summer because it will help you stay cool throughout the hottest months. However, if you have always wanted long hair, summer may be the perfect time to give it a try. Choose light colors, like blond highlights that will naturally get lighter as you spend more time in the sun.

• 3

  Eat more fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber and lower in fat and calories. When planning a summer barbecue on the beach with friends, set out a plate or vegetables for an appetizer instead of chips and dip. Offer fresh fruit for a healthy twist on dessert. Make sure to drink lots of water, as it will keep you hydrated throughout the summer and help you lose weight.

  Work out at least three times a week. Because the summer months are hotter, summer is often a great time to work out outside. Call your friends for a fun game of outdoor volleyball. Go for a run along the beach or go swimming after you lay out by the pool. This will help you lose the few extra pounds you've been dying to get rid of.

  Show off your confidence in your body. Treat yourself to a shopping spree and purchase some new summer dresses, shoes and a bathing suit that fits your body type. Rock your new look with confidence by always keeping a smile on your face and never putting yourself down.
