Summer is here! Lots of time for friends and fun. Whether at the pool or at the mall... here are some tips for keeping things cool so that having fun stays positive.
1. Make sure your white/light colored bathing suit isn't see through.
2. Make sure your bathing suit bottoms are not too loose.. Once I dove in the pool and quickly realized I was missing something...my bathing suit bottoms were at the bottom of the pool.
3. Check out the ties/hooks on your bathing suit. Make sure the hooks/ties will not come easily untied. Cover up with a cover up. Before you run around in your bathing suit grab that cute cover up so your top and bottom are covered.
4. Keep a cute one piece on hand. If you are skiing, swimming lots, or hanging around with wide-eyed guys that might be a great time to wear that sporty fresh one piece.
5. Keep things cool by hanging out with a group. Rather than being alone with a guy, hang out with several friends. You can have just as much good clean fun and avoid fun that may be questionable.
6. Less is more. Show less skin.
7. Put your money where your mouth is. Stay away from words written on the back end of your shorts or across your chest. Wouldn't you rather have people looking at your great smile than reading and staring at your back end?
8. Choose to be an "I can" girl. I can have FUN while choosing to do what's right. Even if it seems like everyone else is doing it. If it's not right don't do it. You can have just as much fun—and more doing the right thing as they can in doing the wrong thing.
9. Enjoy yourself! Rather than thinking you need a boyfriend to make things better take the time to think about what kind of person you want to be and go for it.
10. Set a goal to not just look your best on the outside but to have a heart to match— one that sees the beauty in others as well as yourself.
