Dress for Summer
Whether you’re heading out to the beach for a week or laying by the pool in your own backyard, you should dress for summer during summer vacation. Whether it’s that tiny bikini you’ve had your eye on all winter long or a few plus size casual dresses you can wear anywhere from the store for groceries to a night out on the town with friends, dressing for the summer is the perfect way to make the most of it.

Never Skimp on Skincare
Whether it’s by the pool, strolling along the beach, or simply working in the yard, the sun can be tough on your skin. It’s more important than ever to have reliable, high-quality skincare options at the height of summer. After all, you can’t make the most of your summer vacation if you’re stuck inside with a sunburn or worse yet in the emergency room with a bad case of sun poisoning.

Channel Your Inner Child
Remember the days when summer stretched out before you and seemed like it would never end? While those days are past and summer vacation seems to go a whole lot faster than it used to too, you can still channel your inner child to get some of that magic back. Grab a ball and glove and get a game of baseball going in the backyard or get up early one morning and head to the local water park. You can even buy some bubbles and chase them across the backyard or run through the sprinklers when they water the lawn. Not only will you be channeling the child you used to be, but you’ll also be making memories with the family you love at the very same time.
