    8. Love yourself! Look in the mirror and find at least three things about your bod that you like. Focus on those three things when you hit the sand.

  • 9posture.jpg
    9. Practice good posture. You don’t wanna be hunched over. Standing taller actually makes you look thinner, so push those shoulders back, lengthen your neck and work it!

    10. Get some waterproof makeup! Grab some eyeshadow in a bright, summery color that will stay on throughout the day. It’ll add some pop to your look and make you feel super pretty.

    5.  Slather on the SPF. Protect your skin from sun damage and breakouts with an oil free sunscreen. Go for the trifecta and pick one that's waterproof.

I am going on a date and I have no idea what to wear!! We are going to Olive Garden to eat, please help! Should I wear a dress, if so, what kind of dress?




Hey Girl,




Keep it cute but not too fancy. A nice pair of jeans and a cute top would be good or a shorter dress and flats. Your date might show up in shorts or he might show up in a button down, so wear something that could go with either.

I am 13 years, 5 feet tall and weigh 93 pound. I run 1-2 miles and do 30 sit ups every day i still don't feel very good about my body, what can I do about this?

 

Hey! Feeling good about your body can be as much about your state of mind as it is about your actual body. Psychologists say that most people experience some form of something called "Body Dysmorphia" It sounds scary, but it's just a fancy way of saying, "Our bodies look different to us than they do to other people." For example, If you think you have a fault you tend to spend a lot of time focusing on it, and as a result it looks bigger, or more obvious to you than to anyone else. Other people are focused on their own looks, so when they see you, they see all of the beautiful things about you and don't even notice your insecurity. Try to keep this in mind when you exercise, and remember that exercise is fulfilling when you're doing it to stay healthy, but you don't need to overdo it. Just focus on doing the tings you love, and you'll naturally feel better about yourself anyway Smile

i recently found a love for baking and cooking lol and i wanna make something for father's day. My dad looooves baked goods and has a major sweet tooth but he is really health-consious about his food. What can i make?

 

Hey! I've heard of recipes that incorporate veggies into like brownies, but they still taste great, apparently. I think Jessica Seinfeld has a book about it, you should look it up Smile

I'm lifeguarding this summer but I need some cute hairstyles! It has to be pulled back but i want more than just ponytails and buns. Its hard to do a plain braid because I have layers. My hair is naturally curly (not spirals, though, like beachy waves), layered, thick, and to the bottom of my boobs. I have headbands but I don't think sparkly ones would be good because I don't want to blind people haha. Thanks!




Hey girl!

Try fun colored headbands or elastics to add a pop of color to your look. You can also do a fish tail braid or french braids to make it more interesting. Plus, french braids will hold in all of your layers.
