Summer is here and if you are still whale white, hairy, with winter fingers and toes it’s time to put your game face on and ready for bikini season.  Better late than never!  When it comes to swimsuit season you don’t want to leave everything until the last minute and be suddenly faced with wearing a swimsuit.

To get ready for your big day, you can do a few beautifying things to up your confidence.  Consider paying for one or more of the following: a manicure, pedicure, wax, and spay tan.  Yes it does cost money to buy these things or do it yourself, but trust me you will be strutting at the pool way more confidently after some strategic bronzing, grooming and polishing.

Summer time pedicure

First things first, hit the pedicure place.  During the winter you can get away with do it yourself pedicures at home.  In the high time of summer however, it may be worth the money spent to buy yourself a beautiful brand new pedicure.  They last a few weeks therefore in the grand scheme of things your investment is not so big.  Hit the pedicure throne and get a beautiful professional pedicure.  Try a beautiful french pedicaure for a clean fresh look, or get a twinkly little accent diamond or beautiful paint color.

Spray on tan

While you are at the shop check out if they have a menu of waxing or tanning services.  An organic professionally done stray tan can really boost your confidence.  The results last about a week so the spray tan is something to do when you are about to strut yourself poolside.  A lighter color spray tan will look the most natural and give you a wonderful healthy glow.  Protect with sunscreen and you’ll be saving face without wreaking UV ray havoc on yourself.

Brazilian wax job

A Brazilian wax job may be just the thing so that when you flaunt that swimsuit you don’t have tendrils of unsightly hair peeking out from your swimsuit.  You would be surprise that a little bit of grooming that only takes an hour or two goes a long way to getting you summer read.  Invest in yourself and you will be instantly ready to conquer the beach, pool party, or resort with confidence.

Get summer ready

Whatever happened to natural beauty?  This picture of Sophia Loren in a bikini from years ago shows that even though she wore gobs of makeup and false eyelashes, she oozed a sort of natural beauty that was indescribable.  

Some say that there never was natural beauty with the old Hollywood movie stars, and that the system changed the starlet’s look long before they became stars.  I disagree as surely the stars wore makeup and got surgical enhancements from chest augmentation to rhinoplasty.  They took advantage of such things. But even with the false eyelashes and cosmetic enhancement, Loren still exuded an inspiring natural beauty and confidence that was unmatched.

50% might have been makeup and photo retouching but 50% was that she was naturally confident which is beautiful in and of itself. When it comes to looking fabulous in a swimsuit, confidence is the essential element to success.  You do not even need to see her outfit as her look says it all. She just exudes an incredible confidence and allure and of course this translates into looking incredible.

Confidence in a swimsuit

Most of what makes this swimsuit photograph of Sophia Loren so fabulous is the natural confidence that she exudes.  Such self-confidence is something to strive for when it comes to that stressful time of dealing with the summer season and barely there beach clothes.  If you actually feel great about your figure in a swimsuit, that will reflect on how well you look.  Workout, life a healthy lifestyle and take care of yourself so that you can wear summer time clothes with confidence.

Part of that natural beauty that comes from self confidence is having a good figure, but a big part is finding that swimsuit that you feel both confident and comfortable in.  If you’d like to take inspiration from this photograph, take her confident attitude with you.   She seems comfortable in her own skin and that is what makes her look so sexy.  I don’t have reference for this swimsuit, it may be lingerie not sure!

Feeling confident in a bikini

Sarongs hide a big bottom

A sarong can really hide figure flaws and cover your rear end while at the same time looking beach appropriate and fun.  This is a great way to be able to wear that bikini or swimsuit that you feel too heavy in.  With the right coverup to conceal the backside, women can wear more once piece and bikini styles than they realize. 

Sometimes a skimpier swimsuit with a gorgeous lightweight coverup like this one is more flattering overall than trying to buy a plus size swimsuit that covers everything.  The less obvious is appears that you are trying to cover up junk, the better.   That’s why this low key look is sensational while still being a great bottom covering disguise.
