5 Tips That Will Have You Sizzling!

Summer is in full effect and all of us want to look and feel our best. Here are 5 tips that will have you sizzling (without the sunburn!)

1. Protect yourself. We all love a golden tan but nothing will show your age like too much sun. Make sure to wear a minimum SPF 30 on your face, like Dermalogica Super Sensitive Face Block SPF 30 and at least SPF 15 on your body and reapply ever couple hours. Better yet, wear a hat or use a great tanning gel, no one will know the difference.

2. Take your workouts outside. Work out your body and soul by changing up your gym routine and take to cross training at the beach or going for a hike. You will love the fresh air and your body will love the change of routine. Give it a couple weeks and you will see some major changes in your body and your spirit!

3. Keep the black at bay. I know it is tempting to pull out that little black dress but dare to sparkle by heading out in color. Guys, this is for you too! Light, bright colors not only make you feel good, they draw others to you as well. You will be the life of wherever you go.

4. All in moderation. With all the summer BBQ’s and travel plans it is easy to start packing on unwanted pounds. Contrary to all the “fad diets” out there, there is nothing you cannot have while getting leaner too. The key…you guessed it, moderation. Too much of anything will have you carrying around unwanted weight, even fruit! Keep alcohol to a minimum whenever possible, drinking too much will add a lot of empty calories to your bottom line. It is also very important to drink a lot of water! With the hot weather a lot of people get bloated and therefore do not drink water because they think it will add to it. While what is really happening is your body is dehydrated and therefore is holding onto water in case it does not get anymore. So drinking water will actually flush you out and will keep you and your stomach looking lean. ☺

5. Laugh often! Sounds easy enough but when was the last time you had a great belly laugh? You know…when your cheeks actually hurt from laughing or smiling so long. Laughing is a proven stress reducer and can lift your spirit in a second’s time. If you constantly find yourself around the same dull people, venture out and meet some new people that share your humor and interest. Nothing looks better on anyone than a smile!

Shine ON!
