Pack your spring clothes away and get all of your summer gear out! Summer implies that school is out, which means no more long nights of studying and cramming in the library with your friends. It's time to go to the beach and grab the perfect spot in front of the sun and unwind. Summer brings new trends, adventures and memories, but there are a few challenges us ladies have to face year after year. Some are gross and others are just straight funny.
1. Tan Lines
It would be wonderful if we could just tan completely and be one solid skin tone all throughout summer! With all of the different tank tops, dresses, shorts and bathing suits we are setting ourselves up to get awkward tan lines on our bodies. The funny thing is that we don't even notice what the sun did to our skin until we get home to take a shower. However, the bright side is that we can get to be a rainbow of different skin tones. (Please, don’t forget your sunblock!)
2. Makeup melting off
There’s nothing worse than sitting in front of the mirror with your blending brush to get that perfect summer eye shadow look to have it ruined by our good old friend―the sun. Even though there's many setting sprays and primers in the market, it could only do so much. I cannot find the perfect word to describe the sensation of feeling your makeup melting off, mixing with your sweat. The only remedy here is to go natural or to just keep spraying that setting spray.
3. Bras
I mean bras are annoying all year long, but in summer they’re only ten times more annoying. It’s hot, we’re sweating, we have a bra on, do the math! Bras are the worse impediment in any girls world. They're expensive, and if you buy the cheap ones you'll find yourself buying a new one in no time! How about the strapless bras? I don't know about you ladies, but I have trust issues with those bras. They do not feel safe and it's a constant game of pulling them up. And with the off the shoulder tops being in this season, many of us are going to be wearing those annoying things.
4. Getting stuck on chairs
We've all been there: we're out getting ice cream in our cute outfits and when it's time to go, we feel like we're stuck to our seats. If we're lucky enough with a seat that has a unique design, we'll also have those marks on the back of our legs. I wish I could insert a solution here but there's really no fix to this one.
5. Wiping sweat off
Speaking of sweat, it's always so tempting to want to wipe the sweat off of our faces and neck! It's an icky feeling, but it just makes things worse. Also, how about the gross sensation of feeling like your clothes are stuck to your body? Just wait until you get home to take a good shower. Show your natural glow to the world!
6. Shaving yo legs!
No-Shave November definitely does not apply here. All during summer, we have to constantly shave our legs to have those nice smooth and slick legs. We do not want to have those nasty pricks and we do not want anyone to feel our legs like that. Just some advice, shave at the end of your shower. The hair on your legs will soften by then. Also, use a razor that has hydration for a nice finish. You're welcome!
Have a fun and safe summer beautiful ladies!
