Cover up on City Streets

I know you are beautiful and you have worked out all winter for that toned body but still walking down the street in your bikini just isn't the way to go.
                  Only five-year old youngster can get away with it.
                  I know you love those whistles and catcalls from weird men in big trucks but there are no excuses with all the awesome cover ups around to be strutting around town with your derriere hanging out. You wouldn't walk around naked would you? 
Well if you are walking around town after being at the pool in your bathing suit, you might as well be naked. Please don't wrap a  beach towel around you. Why add pounds where you don't want them.
  You can still look hot!!!
If you are fifteen or  eighty  there are so  many cool looks  out  there to chose from and you'll still get those catcalls  and whistles.
     Scarves or shawls wrapped around your waist covering the rear gives you a bit of mystique that all men love. Long bohemian dresses in bright prints or colors are great too matched with a great pair of sandals. Cute terry cloth rompers are easy to wear and pull up over that wet swimsuit. A cute little mini dress looks great and will take you anywhere you want to go. You will look oh so cool.

Hair tips for those hair raising days of summer

Summer weather can play
 havoc with your hairstyle
Here's some tips on how to survive it all.


Frizzy Hair
Humidity in this area can be so thick that the straightest hair can frizz up.Use a smoothing cream mixed with thick hair gel or glossing serum.

Flat Hair
 You know what I mean... hat or helmet hair.  Spray on some root volumizer and  create a little  lift by blow drying upside down. Hair spray will maintain the shape.

Oily Hair
Shake powder into your palms and run your hands throgh your hair starting at the roots.  The powder will absorb the oils. Work some mousse into the roots creating volume. You don't have to wash your hair everyday especially if you blowdry it.  The oil in your hair is a natural conditioner.  That doesn't mean not washing it at all but every other day or two is fine.

On the Beach or by the pool.
Spritz your hair to protect it from the elements with sunscreen. Mix one teaspoon of sunscreen lotion with SPF of 25 or highter with 1/2 cup of water in a spray bottle. Spritz every hour.
Braid it or tie it into a bun to keep it from frizzing up. 
 Use a conditioner you can leave in. It will deep condition your hair while protecting it.
Wear a hat or a bandana to cover your hair especially if you've color it. It will protect the color and also keep your scalp from burning.
