7 HACKS FOR A REAL FRESH SUMMER

Summmmeeeerrrrr. Babes, it is so close. We can almost taste it on the tip of our tongues, feel it swish up our swaying, glorious, free flowing locks and dance upon the sunbeams of our eyes.

It’s that real, you know, you get all this. ‘Apparently’, according to the powers that be, summer officially begins when December shuffles it’s very anticipated self into our midst. We’ll see about that.

As we know from the OC, summer does whatever the heck she wants.

And she sure loves to party.

Be the life of it, be the sass of it and she does it with such fabby fabulicious style. So, basically, we love her and she is the shizzz. So, in lieu of what we know about summer from the appropriate source, we might as well celebrate her right now. And get the hell ready for what she’s gonna bring. Let’s do this.
