The summer is a very fun time once you take out the awful pit stains, body odor, frizzy hairs and urges to suddenly pass out (/actually passing out). These are some tips to make sure you can get the most out of your summer without having a heat stroke!!
✿ WATER WATER WATER. In the summer I legit only drink water. If you drink a soda or a fruity drink, get a water with it. Have as many of glasses of water as possible every day!! That way you won't get any piercing dehydration headaches and then panic because you think you're dying.
✿ don't be afraid to sit down and cool off if it's too hot. Not wanting to die from a heat stroke, isn't weak, it's legit just common sense, hoes.
✿ DON'T OVERDRESS. Not even kidding. If it's over 80 degrees Fahrenheit I better not see you out here sporting a long sleeve shirt or jeans. Wear ugly shirts and ugly shorts, we'd rather have you conscious than passed out in the backseat.
✿ sunscreen helps keep you cool and tan and prevents skin cancer. Even if you have darker skin, you still have to lather up pal. Just because you don't burn doesn't mean your skin isn't being exposed to the sun's fury. UV rays don't discriminate.
✿ don't use fancy scented liquid deodorant. Sweat bees and normal bees alike will be attracted to your pits because of the nice smell and warm dampness. It will not be a fun time for you. Get some spray on deodorant or an odorless dry stick.
✿ bug spray is your new best friend. Mosquito and chigger bites are annoying and make everyone uncomfy, so if you're venturing into Mother Nature in the evening/night/camping make sure you douse yourself in bug killer.
✿ wash your face twice a day, in the morning and at night. If you're an oily person like me (nothing to be ashamed of) I would also consider investing in some oil-blotting sheets!! That way if the boy of your dreams comes up and you look like you have a sheen of lube on your face, you can just wipe it all off and then frolick off into the sunset. Or something along those lines.
✿ don't wear makeup unless you want to and maKE SURE TO TAKE IT OFF. It's summer so there's no one to impress except your own soul, and your soul just wants you to be happy.
✿ have extra tampies with you. Even if it's a pad day because it's summer and you're lazy, you never know if your plans with Sally will all of a sudden end up with you going to the pool. Tampies are going to be your best friend.
✿ speaking of the tenders, take care of your coochie. Seriously, it's going to be sweaty and gross just like the rest of you, so make sure all is fine in the land down under. Don't you dare use soap/body wash around/near/in your kitty, use a feminine wash or rinse with water. Don't shave EVERYTHING down there unless you want to or absolutely must because it will ITCH for days and there's nothing you can do. My sister shaved everything off at once and it was a rough two weeks for her, so I'd suggest sticking to the bikini line and trimming the rest. Don't have tiny scissors? Easy! Take your razor, hold it parallel to your body and just saw off the hair by making a sawing motion back and forth against the strands fAR AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
✿ wear what you want in the summer. If everyone else is wearing very revealing clothes and you'd rather not, just don't. Doing so will just make you more nervous and uncomfortable and then you'll sweat because you have anxiety and chances are you haven't drank enough water and goODNESS GRACIOUS you're wearing scented deodorant so now the bees are swarming you and your face is oily because you don't have oil blotting sheets and now everything is a mess.
✿ see what I mean? Summer is a dangerous time for everyone, so make sure you're on top of things!!
