    4. Take care of your skin: Exfoliate, shave and moisturize before you go. Smooth, silky gams appear leaner when you’re rockin’ that bikini!

    5. Eat healthy and drink a ton of agua. In exchange for those unhealthy snacks, try fresh fruit slices or nuts. Plus, downing a lot of water makes hair, skin, and nails look their best.

    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.

In the fall I'm going to be trying out for JV volleyball, but the team wears spandex. If I make the team I'm really not going to want to wear spandex,because I don't use tampons. What should I do? I haven't had my period for like 2 months now I think because it's pretty irregular, so I can't just try using tampons. And summer is coming up so it would be nice to use them for swimming but at the same time I just don't want to. Do you have any advice? thanks!




Hey girl!

Tampons are awesome once you are comfortable using them. They're way comfier than pads and would make wearing spandex and bathing suits less nerve-racking. Next time you get your period, try using them. There are directions in the box. If you need help, ask your mom or a trusted adult or friend to give you tips. Good luck!
