Well howdy there! Wow, long time no talk....honestly! It has been so busy for me I was unable to find the time to sit down and blog! But hey, I'm here now! And it is getting to be...summer, summer, summer, summer, SUMMERTIME!! Yes! Finally the warmth is upon us, and the sun is out to stay! So lets get you ready for this Summertime Loveliness. (ha --this is a play on words with Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVjsGKrE6E8 ... I love me some Lana)
1. Get your summer clothes in order!
Summer is the time for shorts and tank tops. You want to look cute, so I suggest heading to one of your favorite stores to stock up on great summer clothing. I personally love Forever 21 because of the great prices. But I am a huge fan of longer shorts. Personally, I am not aiming to have my butt hanging out the back of my shorts, so I found this amazing pair of black shorts Madewell. (link below) They are a great length and soo comfortable. Just a little on the pricey side:( but I figure I will be wearing them for years to come, so it is a good investment!

Also, tank tops and short sleeves shirts are a great and cute even in hot weather. Plus, you might even catch a little sun!

2. Buy your summer makeup
I am not saying you have to go out and buy all new makeup, but you should look into getting a darker foundation, or product of that sort. Think about it, you are tanner than you originally were when you bought that tinted makeup. It probably just is not the right shade. For summer I recommend lighter foundations....preferably tinted moisturizers. Hey, maybe don't wear makeup at all! But I know that can be risky ;P L'oreal has a great tinted moisturizer called the Magic BB Cream: really light and great for summer. Hey, even SPF! If liquid products aren't your thing, then you can buy a bronzer. Physicians Formula has some of the best bronzers for what you spend.
3. SUNSCREEN!
This one is simple gals! Just put on sunscreen. You only have one life...so take care of your skin...it will thank you later. I know I have super sensitive skin, so I have to be careful of what sunscreens I use. One that is really great for my face is the CeraVe Sunscreen which comes in 50 spf for really gentle sun protection.
4. Get together a great summer playlist!
Music is a great way to set the feel for a vacation, an event, or even the entire summer. Put together a playlist of songs that you love to listen to. When you play them back later at some point in your life, it will remind you of that great 2014 summer you had. Lately I have been loving this artist Banks. She is awesome and so talented. I like her song Bedroom Wall, Brain, and Waiting Game. Also, I like the group Purity Ring and the artist Santigold. I have some music on my SoundCloud if you are interested! https://soundcloud.com/mad-charm
