Next Time You're at the Beach, Stop and Look

Have you ever stopped and taken a picture of the beach and everyone on it? Not to be creepy, but it's quite interesting seeing what everyone's doing and all. In the following picture, there's so much action going on! Everyone will look at the picture in a completely different way.

 Some will notice and question why the little boy is rolling a tire into the water? Or, what is that building in the background? Look at the location, it looks very tropical, possibly it's Florida, California, Hawaii, or somewhere totally different! Those are just a few things people will notice in the picture.

When I look at this picture, I think of one word: Summer. I can feel the refreshing, clear water swallow up my ankles, my toes wiggling buried under the grainy sand, and the Summer sun kissing my cheeks. All around me there are people of all kinds running, relaxing, or soaking up the sun.

There are little kids feverishly rebuilding sandcastles knocked over by rushing waves. At the tiki bar are teens and young adults chatting and drinking non-alcoholic drinks ;) while making new friends and having the time of their lives. Watchful parents are monitoring their young ones and laying out all over the beach enjoying relaxation. In the ocean, there could be sea creatures near and far; little crabs waddle sideways scurrying away from  beach goer's stomping feet or dolphins jumping freely and flying over the wake.

Next time you go to the beach, take a moment to stop and look at everyone and what they're doing. Step into the ocean and see if you can spot sea life in action, or dig on a sandbar to see what all you can see. You'll be very surprised what you may find! The ocean is a very busy, yet, relaxing place to be at for Summer.

There are two requirements that are essential for a great summer. First off, you must get a tan or at least a burn for some of our more tanning-challenged viewers ;) second, it is absolutely MANDATORY you get a cute swimsuit!

If you are cursed with very pale skin, tanning will be difficult for you, but not impossible!!! Yes, there is hope for you all, but PLEASE remember your sunscreen! There are those rare occasions where you will burn then tan, but honestly, who wants to go through the painful, annoying, gooey-plant guts (aloe vera) process of treating sunburn?? Anyway, back to the whole tanning/not burning subject: I was reading up on some actual summer-related articles, and a few tips of obtaining that glorious, golden, Hollywood tan are to 1. (even though I've mentioned this before) WEAR SUNSCREEN! 2. Do not over-tan, just tan for 15-30 minutes maximum. 3. Try not to fall asleep while tanning; the sun will not have any mercy just because you're catching some "Z's". 4. Use a very low concentrated tanning oil (This way, you will get what you want in less time) and 5. The best way to get a natural-looking tan is by playing a sport or doing an activity in the sun. Cooking under the blazing UV rays of the sun make you very prone to skin cancer or burning. I guarantee, if you follow these tips, you're bound to have a tan for summer! (P.S, I'm following these tips as well, so I'll be working on a tan with you!)

Picking the right swimsuit is most definitely mandatory, make sure it fits properly in all the right areas! The main issue all teen girls face when picking out a swimsuit is gapping (front and back), sagging, or it's just plainly not flattering. Also, in order to have a swimsuit that you will absolutely adore, make sure it compliments your body shape and type. For larger girls, I'd recommend a tankini; not a one piece. Ideally, people would think of one pieces but the truth is, they do not flatter or make someone look thinner. They actually enhance everything you do not want! Tankinis not only camouflage, they are SO CUTE! (: For the more skinnier girls, you can ultimately wear any swimsuit you want. But, be careful it doesn't gap or isn't too big. No body wants to lose their top or bottoms! And the most important thing when picking out a swimsuit is make sure you feel confident and cute(:

There you have it, two requirements that are essential for a great summer!

All About Yours Truly (:

I'm Audrey Jonas and I'm 13 years old. I'm very random and think of the weirdest things! I absolutely love all of my friends and I so wish I could drive. My favorite things to do are go to Schlitterbahn in the summer, tan, play sports, listen to music, and sing! I also love roller coasters, I'll ride anything and everything. I love animals, art, and the beach! Honestly, I don't know what I want to be whenever I grow up... Possibly an actrist/singer/famous person, an oceanographer, or an arctitect. I love life and love to talk! There you have it, 8 whole sentences all about me!
