9 reasons why summer is the best season

Summer starts tomorrow, ladies, and I for one have been counting down the days with keen anticipation.
The fact is, winter just doesn’t agree with me. From the awkward layering to the chronically dry skin, it’s a struggle. A struggle not even a hot chocolate or a warm fireplace can compensate for.

Summer, on the other hand, is much more my jam. If you’re a summer-lovin’ girl like me, you’ll be able to relate to these nine reasons why summer is the best season…
1. Your hair is better
Ditch the heat tools: Natural, kinky curls are a summer must. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s so easy, but there’s something liberating about letting your locks do their thang. Oh, and let’s not forget about beach waves. If you don’t live near the ocean, muk Haircare Beach muk Sea Salt Spray or De Lorenzo Elements Ocean Mist Sea Salt Styling Spray will leave your tresses looking terrific.

2. You have funner weekends
Socialising is HARD in winter, but getting out and about in summer is an absolute breeze. Whether it’s meeting a friend for a morning walk, having a picnic or hitting the d floor, the warm weather makes for good times.

3. You get more done
The days are longer, which means you can stay out and about well into the evening, without worrying about getting cold. This is in direct contrast to my working-girl winter routine, where unless I get outside for my lunch break, I emerge from the office in pitch black at 5.30pm, having not seen sunlight all day. Not cool.
4. It’s easier to get out of bed
Sorry, but getting out of bed on a freezing cold morning is an absolute nightmare – and don’t even get me started on getting dressed! Granted, getting out of bed is never easy, but sunny summer mornings make it a bit more bearable.
5. It’s easier to get dressed
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a stylish winter outfit, but boy are they hard to pull together! Anyone who’s ever tried layering will understand (#thestruggleisreal). Summer outfits, on the other hand, are a walk in the park. Simply throw on a pretty summer dress and sandals, and you’re good to go!

6. You have fun with your makeup
Summer parties make for more adventurous makeup choices. bh loves a pop of bright lippie (Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in As You Want Victoria) or bold eyeshadow (Chi Chi Glamorous Rich Gems Eye Shadow Collection), but if a golden glow is more your thing, bronzer, highlighter and Natralus Natural Paw Paw Lip Butter Coconut are your new best friends.
7. Summer fruit is just better
Apples, bananas and oranges are all well and good, but if you ask me, they pale in comparison to sweet peaches, juicy mangoes and watermelon. The best part? They’re good for you, so they can double up as dessert (and you’ll be less tempted to reach for the chocolate!).

8. Ice-cream is everything
… need I say more? Even those sweet peaches can’t compete with two scoops of cold, creamy goodness. Of course, ice-cream is delicious all year round, but a colossal waffle cone on a balmy summer night is pure bliss.
9. You’re in a better mood
Studies have shown that most of us enjoy more outdoor exercise, fresh foods and sleep in summer, all things which can naturally enhance your mood and make you feel happier. Sunlight itself is also a natural mood-booster. Just don’t forget to slip, slop, slap for before you head outside! bh loves Jurlique Sun Specialist SPF 40 High Protection Cream PA +++ and NEUTROGENA® Ultra Sheer Clear Face Lotion SPF30.

Here is a look at how to choose the right color of lipstick.
The best way to choose a lipstick color is to try it, and there are some other guidelines that can help you make a choice.
For the girl with white skin, the skin is white, so the choice is more extensive. And the effect with brighter color can be much better.
For example bright-colored orange, pink is tender color waits a moment, can give a person a kind of piquant, lovely feeling so.
1 color is too light, let a person look at no vitality and spirit.

The individual suggestion is a red fluorescence color department of will be very will take the feeling to suit the skin black sister!
Yellow skin
Consider a warm shade of lipstick, such as orange or tan, which invisibly adds to your liveliness and makes you look warmer. Warm color is medium slant dark red, be like brown red, plum red, deep coffee to make the color of skin appears white clear and transparent. Do not wear light-colored or silver-colored lipstick as it will contrast with the skin and make it appear darker.
A rosy complexion
A woman with ruddy skin. You'd better choose bright colors for your lipstick. When we are daubing, we also need not blur the outline line, let lip appear as far as possible clear and trendier, had better not. This is the popular gradient lip makeup.
What color of the lipstick is the most natural
1, nude lipstick
In general, you can't go wrong with a nude lipstick for a more natural look. Although the naked lipstick is not very bright, most of them are full and bright, and also very delicate, so the lips will appear more glossiness after being applied, which is easy to create the feeling that there is no makeup on the lips. So if you want to achieve the natural effect of "nude makeup", you might as well try nude lipstick.
2, close to the lip color
In addition to choosing a nude lipstick, you can also choose to wear lipstick that is similar to your lips. Its reason depends on, with oneself normal lip color is widely divergent lipstick generally speaking the metropolis after besmear goes up forms more bright contrast, can have the effect that foils instead, achieve the effect of nature. And the lipstick that resembles with oneself lip color is lifted to shine a bit on a certain level only, the influence is not very big, suit to make quite so "without makeup" the effect.
3, harmonious skin tone
Many people tend to ignore when choosing lipstick color, but actually is also choose the focus of the lipstick, such as the skin color of skin dark yellow girls if you choose light color lipstick, so may form contrast with the skin, skin appears increasingly dark heavy, but if it is a warm color department in some dark lipstick can make skin look white, such as a whole is natural.

I definitely prefer the warmer weather, as I barely like to leave the house when it is too cold, but as I get older, the 40 plus days in the office don't quite have the same appeal they once did.

Ugh I hate summer. I lived in Sydney till I was 28 then moved to the country where we have 2 seasons, winter for 8 months summer for 4 and I hate the summer ones more and more every year. The only things I like are the fruits and the ice cream, even better when it's a nice fruity ice cream lol

I'm completely with Trish_D on this one! Summer sucks! I HATE summer!
1. I throw my sweaty hair up just to get it off my sweaty neck.
2,3 & 4. I don't have the energy to do anything except lie on my back & moan like a zombie.
5. No nice clothes, I revert to my baggiest & daggiest breathable fabrics to reduce sweating .
6. Makeup gets sweated off. I don't date in summer so I just do the barest minimum.
7. OK summer fruit, yeah. Pineapple & stone fruits are the ONLY tolerable thing about summer.
8. Meh.
9. The sharp yellow light tears my soul out through my eyeballs. A piece of my soul dies every summer.
