Here we are, halfway through the summer. I don't know about you, but where I live it's crazy hot. One step outside and you're basically melting. Honestly, it's nice to lounge around the pool side, or hit the waves at the beach. They're both nice ways to beat the heat. Then there's always that summer day where it's cloudy and raining, thundershowers and lightning taking over the sky. Those are my favorite summer days. You can just curl up inside with your fluffy sweaters and socks watching the rain pour down outside. It's always so relaxing.
Let's go back to those wicked hot days where you're left melting on the sidewalk. Those are the days where I'm most carefree in the summer, because I don't need to worry about how I look. Not like when you're going to school and your wearing that carefully chosen outfit you picked out the night before. Always worrying about how your hair looks or if your makeup has smudged. No, in the summer it's a no makeup, hair tied back, sun screened up look for the most part. It's pointless to dress to impress when you go to the beach. Those girls who spend the time to wash their hair, do their makeup, and put together an outfit are the ones who don't have as much fun. They can't go swimming because their hair and makeup with be ruined, and they can't lay in the sun because then they'll get all sweaty. There are some things you do need to do before going to the beach. Like shaving your legs and other places. Or making sure your bathing suit fits. But really, it's way more fun when you can go swimming without worrying about the hair and makeup.
Let's add some boys in here because they were bound to come up sooner or later. Guy's like girls who can be carefree and and have fun. Girls who aren't fussing over their appearance all the time. Girls who can just have a good time and be themselves. Yes, guys do like when girls get dressed up too. But for the appropriate times, not when your about to head to the beach. Bottom line is, don't worry about how you look all the time. It's a distraction from the things you could be focusing on.
When I'm going to the beach, I make sure I wear sunscreen. Even if you hardly ever get burnt, it's still a good idea to keep the harsh rays off your skin. I wouldn't recommend wearing water proof makeup because no matter what anyone says, it's not that water proof. You still get those pesky flakes from your mascara, plus it shortens your lashes. We wouldn't want that, now would we? Concealer will still slowly come off. What I do if I'm going boating or to the beach is I put on sunscreen, then powder with sunscreen in it, and a setting spray to top it all off. I'll curl my lashes too. Then during those days when I'm just out in the sun I'll wear BB cream with sunscreen in it. It's not water proof at all, but it just helps make your skin glow along with giving you protection against the sun. I like to french braid my hair before going tubing, because I hate having my hair being whipped around into one big knot. My beach hair is just a messy bun.
What do you like to do during the summer? What's your usual summer make-up routine?
Stay Lovely,
