WAHOOOOOO finally…summer is here! Can you feel it? The air is starting to smell of freedom. There’s nothing more refreshing than walking out of a classroom knowing that we have three months to do anything we want. It's the season for natural hair, no makeup, no school, being with friends all the time, trying new things, and most of all beach days. Summer will always be my favorite season not only because I don’t have school but because I always plan my summers to be better than the one before. Summer days are always happier, the sun is always shining brighter each day, the breeze of the ocean side gives you the perfect beach hair mixed with salt water, and for once after the chaos of school everyone has time for the things they love.
I’m done being a student let’s be mermaids 🧜♀️🌺
For me summer is almost my restart mark in life. I workout way more often and I end up toned by the end of the summer (maybe not last summer but two summers ago yes) and I have already made a plan with one of my best friends that once I come back from Mexico we will try to run together as much as possible. You guys don’t know how excited I am for summer. Behind my closet are all my summer tops and yes I know I love the color pink but when summer comes around you can count on me for wearing every color of the whole world. Summer for me is supposed to be fun, freeing, and fulfilling. I mean come on for almost 9 months I am stuck inside a room for an 1 and 30 minutes and as much as I try to convince myself that school is fun the only fun part about it is fooling around with friends in the back of the classroom in biology and choir. So now I am going to give you my top top top essentials for having the best summer ever. I am not saying this is how you have to dress or do your hair but this is supposed to be for inspiration. I also tried to include cute activities for you guys to do during summer that I always do!
Let's start off strong with something that is a very needed item for summer. A scrapbook. Now this is one of my favorite things to do during summer. A scrapbook is like a box for collecting memories but way more fun because you get to decorate the notebook and all the cute pages. This scrapbook isn’t supposed to be clean and nice, it is supposed to be messy and chaotic and honestly something you look forward to doing by yourself or with a friend. A scrapbook can contain literally anything that you want it to contain. From pressed flowers, tickets from places you’ve been to, even receipts from food you've bought or clothes you've bought, and most of all pictures from everything you do. I am a very crafty person so when it comes to scrapbooks I love adding stickers and scented glue to my pages so when I flip through I get the whiff of watermelon (very interesting to think about but I love it). I feel like scrapbooks should all totally be 3D so you can do anything you want like paint some pages and add origamis or even add envelopes or anything you can find!
Summer clothing? I think yes. It is finally time to wear the least amount of clothing possible because it is bikini season (okay now that I think about it that sentence sounds wrong but hopefully you guys know what I mean). Summer is to bring out the brightest colors and wear anything you want to wear. For me that means dresses, skirts, mini shorts, tub tops and flip flops everyday. This summer the look I am trying to bring out is a laid back wearing basic but flowy outfits, very hippie ish!
Ah yes, makeup time. A couple of springs ago I remember going to mexico and bringing no makeup…literally. I told my mom that I would spend that spring break with no makeup and honestly I loved it. From those couple of days I realized that there is not need for makeup when sunscreen exists, sunscreen brings out natural color from your skin. My summer makeup though consists of regular sunscreen, liquid blush, curled eyelashes sometimes with a bit of mascara so the curl holds, and last but not least a bright lip color that is glossy
Have you heard of a bikini box? Well I didn't know about these until my friend sent me a picture of her bikini box and I fell in love. This box can simply be laying around your room for easy access of grabbing your bikini for a pool day or beach day. A bikini box could consist of any color combinations and any patters that you like. This would be such a cute idea to do with your best friends, go in your backyard sip pink lemonade, grab your paint supplies and boxes and start crafting! Also why not add bows to it too!
NAIL TIME! Nails are important for summer essentails. Not because they make you feel put together but because nails look absolutely stunning for going out. During winter we were really big on putting bows on nails why not put hawaiin flowers on our nails now? These kinds of nails give off beachy vibes all the way. But obviously if you aren't the kind of nail art person there is always the option of doing a simple bright summer color on your nails! Have fun and experiment with different nails throughout summer...you can always paint your nails different colors each day to match your outfit...or is that too much?
It is not summer without a famous summer bucket list. Right now grab paper and colorful pens and start writing EVERYTHING that you want to do during this summer…YES I mean absolutely everything from cutting your hair to sneaking out all the way to making a lemonade stand the way you used to when you were in elementary school. The list could vary from wild things to childish things to actual things you want to accomplish (an example could be getting better at your sport).
Last but not least in my summer essentials is hair. It’s time for the natural curls, waves, or straight hairs to come out! I am not saying that you should stop straightening but let yourself have freedom with your hair, grow it, cut it, dye it, put it up and down. One summer essential for hair could be adding beads or small shells to a strand of your hair. You see where I am going with this? As the quote says
Life is too short to have boring hair 🎀💈💇🏼♀️💇🏽♀️ - Unkown
Okay guys that is everything for today. Don’t forget to have so much fun this summer and don’t worry I will be writing so much more now that school is over! I love you all so much🩷
