The heat index is rising and so are the nerves for anticipation of donning that hot new bikini you just bought. A little thigh jiggle, arm jiggle and butt jiggle can keep anyone from hitting the beach with confidence.
Looking for a speedy solution, ladies? With these quick tips you will have your beach bags packed, flip flops flopping and the only thing you need to worry about is what summer beach music to put on your iPod and which new summer read to bring.
Suit Up!: I’m not talking the TV show “How I Met Your Mother”, I’m talking a bikini that accentuates your best features. If you have thick legs, skip the boy shorts. Wear solid colored shorts and a print top, so eyes will immediately be drawn upward.
Green with Envy: Sip on some green tea and you will feel confident strutting your stuff whether it’s poolside or beachside. Green tea helps rid your body of extra fluid, helping you feel less bloated.
“Yoga” Get It Girl: It takes just one class to feel the difference. Not only does it help tone and help you shape up, it leaves your mind and body rejuvenated ready for to soak up the sun.
Tan Your Butt Off: Get the glow and you are ready go. I highly suggest going with a faux tan before your strut your stuff so as not to blind the beach crowd, a tan also tends to hide all those little imperfections (cellulite, stretch marks, oh my!)
Posture Makes Perfect: When you carry yourself well, you look amazing. So stand tall, shoulders back and tuck in that tummy. Try not to slump in your beach chair creating those extra rolls — and no, not the good kind.
