1. Healthy, Happy Hair: Summertime is the perfect time to try out a new haircut or hair color you've been eying. And, you don't even have to spend money at the hair salon...a do-it-yourself kit will do if you're up for the challenge!
Tip: If you're not ready for a completely new haircut, just a trim will get rid of split ends and damaged hair.
2. Friendly Feet & Fingers: With everyone pulling out their sandals and flip flops, it's time to pamper your fingernails and toenails! You can do this at a nail salon, but even better, you can do it right at home!
Tip: Paint your fingernails and toenails a fun summer color like pink, orange, or turquoise.
3. Sunny Skin: Everyone wants to look tan during the summer. So, grab your best girlfriends and head out to a pool or beach.
Tip: Be sure to take precautions before you do any type of tanning. If you're planning on sitting under the natural sun, wear sunscreen and a hat.
4. Bikini-Ready Bod: Sign up for a gym membership, or start by jogging with a friend. Take with you anyone that's willing to challenge and encourage you - a friend, sister, boyfriend, Mom, or even your dog! Exercise is vital for a bikini-ready body!
Tip: Turn this into a fun and healthy challenge. Join a dancing class or go rock-climbing!
5. Shopping Treat: Okay, this might cost you more money than any of the other activities. But, every girl needs a bathing suit and flip flops for the summer season. Don't forget a beach cover-up...and maybe a new summer outfit...just keep an eye out for sales!
Whether you engage in "me" time, or grab a bunch of girlfriends and relatives, just be sure to enjoy yourself. Everybody deserves a break and a bit of self-pampering, so don't feel guilty! If you're on a budget, get creative! This quality time will leave you glowing just in time for summer.
