7 Things To Do Before Summer Comes To An End

A lot of people have spent their summer working hard, playing hard or doing both and with fall right around the corner, here are seven things you should definitely do this summer if you haven’t had the chance to do them yet.

1. Get your tan going.

It’s never too late to get your tan on! Many people don’t enjoy tanning for several reasons but another easy way to achieve a tan is fake tanning. From drugstore to high-end products there are a lot of safe and easy ways to give your skin a glorious tan.

2. Switch up your hair.

If the sun hasn’t yet kissed your hair, cheat and go lighter with the help of some bleach. If you’re feeling adventurous, dye your hair with streaks of color or try out some temporary color methods if you don’t want a permanent change. Summer is a great time to experiment with shorter hair whether it is only a few inches, an undercut or a pixie cut, it will be a huge relief from the heat. Split ends are common during the summer due to sun damage so if a trim is needed, go for one!

3. Wear summer colors.

You’re probably thinking, “I can’t show up to work in a hot pink shirt,” well you can and the only reason for that is that it is summer. Wear any clothing item or accessory in a summer color that will make your outfit pop and cheer up your mood, your options are endless. Plus, you’ll have a little extra to look forward to in the mornings.

4. Go summer-sale shopping.

As the season is close to an end, many stores have already started putting out sales. Many summer clothes, body products, make up, accessories and all summer related items in general can usually be used all year round or saved for next summer so please don’t miss out from some amazing deals!

5. Don’t miss out on summer dishes.

Some fruits are only available by seasons, which is why summer brings us tropical drinks, dishes, candy and dessert options. Remember you can always make them yourself by searching DIYs, which are always fun to do with some friends and family!

6. Oil up.

Being exposed to the sun is wonderful but too much sun can be damaging. Use oil on your hair to repair, bring back some moisture and shine as well as to help split ends improve. Use on your skin as a moisturizer and over your cuticles for healthier nails. Mix it with some brown sugar and use the mixture to exfoliate but be careful to not over do it. Some of the oils I enjoy using for the previous are coconut oil and argan oil but there are many more options you can use.

7. Make your summer unforgettable.

There is still time to try something new or do something unexpected. It could be going on a road trip, throwing a party, visiting a friend who lives far from you between many other things that can cause an impact in this summer so that you will never forget it. Take pictures along the way to help you keep the memories! If you’re not able to try something different then try your hardest to make the best out of every day that’s left of summer.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
