Living in Scotland means we don’t see the sun that often. So this week when we had temperatures in the 20’s I was BUZZING. Even better that I had a few days off work meaning lots of tanning time in the garden…aaahhhh pure bliss!

The only downfall to this is some people think that they literally need to take their ‘taps aff’ and sometimes that’s just something I DONT need to see. Cover up sista!

So today we wanted to share with you some of our pet hates/top tips to look coooooooooooool this summer. 

Tip #1- Feet on Fleek

Ladies, we are all guilty of falling victim to un-pedicured tootsies on show at some point or other- but preparation is KEY! Let’s face it, no one has cute feet. NO ONE. So we gotta do all we can to keep these babies fly! For my Turkey holiday I went for some shellac in a white/ cream colour and it looked perfect on the beach and at night with my little sandals (Primark £8) it also lasts up to 4 weeks on your feet (2/3 at a push on your fingers) so only a couple of trips to the salon will keep you sexy alllll summer long baby! 

If you wanna try an at home pedi-spa in between salon visits to get your pegs soft as a baby’s booty I’d definately recommend Soap & Glory Heel Genius (£5.50- Boots in store or online) which smells like a dream and works wonders

Rub some on before bed time and put some cotton socks on to sleep- the cream will sook right in overnight leaving your feet heavenly come sunrise!

Tip #2- Protection!

Applying sun tan lotion is an absolute ball ache, theres no denying. HOWEVER, there is nothing more important than keeping your skin protected from harmful uva rays. I learned the hard way. Last week in Turkey I was on a boat trip and was so distracted by uhmmm….someone very distracting, that I got sunburn so badly on my chin that it blistered! BLISTERED!!!! It healed up pretty quickly but it was NOT pretty. Skin protection can run pretty steep but I stumbled across some in Primark for just £3 for sun lotion spray and just £2 for the papaya aftersun! I was sceptical, but (when I remembered to apply…ouchi) they worked just as well as a Piz Buin/ Hawaiian Tropic! So no excuses baby!

They also do a face lotion with 30spf for £3! I’d definately recommend bumping your face spf as high as possible honey. My poor sunburnt (and beard rashed- waheeeey) chin would definately agree!

Tip #3- Dress for your body

Yeah in January we all said we were gonna eat healthy and go to the gym. We made a promise to ourselves that we would be beach body ready and looking HOT for summer … 

Well if your like me your didn’t stick to it but that’s ok ladies (pretty confident Iv actually gain and few pounds… And I’m not talking about my bank account) just remember, dress for your body size and shape!!! 

‘Suns out, guns out’ does NOT mean wear the smallest, most revealing outfit you can find. Flatter that figure sista. 

Let’s talk bikini pants… They don’t fit like underwear, they are tighter… FACT! Therefore can cause muffin top…FACT!

Now I love a muffin, don’t get me wrong ladies, but there’s a time and a place. And hanging over your bikini pants is just not that time!!! 

So don’t chose the smallest ones in the shop. (Infact, I usually go up a size)

So, we got your feet on fleek, your skin looking sexy and sun kissed and you’ve had the muffin top master class…

I’d say your ready to go!

Happy Holidays
