Bikini time

I've shown plenty of bikinis this month, but what about shaving? If you need to get to a pool party fast and haven't gotten a bikini wax, try Venus Bikini Trimmer (see title link). It has a plastic comb to protect your skin from the blade, leaving that sensitive area irritant-free. Plus, it costs just $5. You'll look super-feminine once you trim, and the product offers pivoting, and the handle is designed for extreme control. Stay trim!

Curly waves

I was at Walmart the other day and found a set of hot rollers. My hair is naturally curly, but the waves one can achieve with these tools are breathtaking! Pictured here are Remington Style Colossal Curls Rollers (see title link). They cost only $30 and give you that sultry look that's dynamite for dancing the night away on a Friday. It leaves your locks touchably soft, and enough volume for movement, too! Simply roll two-inch sections into them by curling them under. After leaving them in for 20 minutes, they should seem nice and loose.

Epiduo

Acne creams that are prescription-based may seem like the answer to your problems. But did you know they have serious risks for certain groups of people. If you're pregnant, for example, the acne medicine Epiduo could get into your breastmilk and cause harm if you're nursing later on (see title link). Take time to read the small print!

Go Natural

If you want a more natural look but feel insecure without putting a bit of makeup on, try clear mascara (see title link). I didn't even know such a thing existed but it works well for summer, especially when you want to look good at the beach or pool! Without the black or brown, your eyes aren't rimmed with color underneath and your lashes are still lovely! Us Massachusetts girls know how to look pretty without trying too hard.

Messy Hair

You want that beautiful California hair? You know, that sexy, messy scalp that gives you that windblown, beachy look. You'll look like you're hanging out of a convertible. Scrunch and go, and you'll feel hot! Try the FX Special Effects Shag Spray, which costs just $6 at Walmart (see title link).

Big?

Nikki Blonsky really impresses me, because she's so comfortable in her own skin. Although she's curvier than most typical Hollywood types, she uses that to her advantage to win more specific roles. Now, she's the star of HUGE, a new ABC Family Original Series. Once it premieres June 28, it will broadcast every Monday at 9/8c (see title link).

DSquared2

One of my favorite high-end brands to look at is DSquared2. Their Spring/Summer 2010 collection--seen here at Milan Fashion Week--has this glam camp feel to it which is so unique (see title link). There's a sale going on at the website, so check it out!

Nail Art

Sally Hansen's nail art pen is so perfect for expressing yourself through a manicure (see title link). You just press the back to activate the color and just start designing on your nail! The formula is water-based, so it wipes clean if you mess up. It even seals the polish with a top coat! I love the Light Pink Creme version, and it's dermatologist-tested for just $7.99!

Target

Here's a cute bathing suit bottom I found for those of us not blessed with nice bottom halves. For a flat booty, try this Converse One Star twisted piece, costing just $20 (see title link). The swirly graphic helps make your butt look rounder, and we all know how fun a trip to Target is. Win-Win!

Get the London look

Check out this hot shade of nail polish I found from Rimmel London! From their Lasting Finish Long-Wear Collection, it's the Pro Nail Lacquer in the Electric Feel shade, as seen on Coco Rocha (see title link). Reportedly, it lasts up to 10 days for amazing shine.

Swimsuit Fun

I've been looking for a swimsuit that flatters my figure...isn't that the biggest fashion dilemma this time of year? I have a flat booty, so I wanted to find bikini bottoms that are ruched. I found this beautiful brown-with-white-polka-dots print from Sofia by Vix for $50 (see title link). There are ties at the sides that let you pull to gather the fabric at the top to give your butt a little lift. The brown actually pops with some skin tones, too. Try getting volume instead of clingy tightness and make it look like you're filled out!

StayFree

STAYFREE Ultra Thin Regular w/Wings is a $3.99 solution for your period (see title link). It's inspired by athletic wear and is so good at keeping you dry and cool and comfortable! It has THERMOCONTROL technology and FOUR WALL PROTECTION for side-to-side and front-to-back.

Fun in the Sun!

I'm not usually a fan of prints, especially animal ones like zebra! But Fox has got me temporarily converted with this cute $62 swimsuit (see title link). The adjustable ties on the bottom are perfect for people with curvy hips like mine, and their long length even camouflages them a bit! So try this one on...I guarantee you'll fall in love.

Op[t] for new shorts!

I have NEVER written a post about men's apparel, but I couldn't resist when I saw these Op Men's Plaid Cargo Shorts on Cory Monteith in an ad for Walmart (see title link). At $15, the 6-pocket, hidden button flap shorts are stylish and practical, with belt loops extras like fray-edge cuffs.

Fun in the Sun

I was at the beach yesterday and really needed a new swimsuit. Here's one I found from Maya...It's called the Signature Cut Bikini and Bell Tie Bikini Top (see title link). You can buy this orange suit too, and feel like you're in Hawaii ringing in you 24th birthday with your buff boyfriend :).

Hairband

Hairbands can be fashionable AND practical. Try Scunci No-Slip Grip Skinny Soft Hairbands (see title link), especially the gray/silver color. The lining keeps them on your head and keeps those flyaways down! Wear more than one if you so please (see title link)!

Yes, I'm reiterating this. Shawn Johnson is a great role model, and she knows how to attain a balance. So drink some milk (see title link)!

Milk!

I just love Shawn Johnson. She is such a great role model! And even though she is younger than me, I definitely look up to her. I met her briefly when she came to speak at my university, and she was incredibly intelligent and pretty easygoing about her celebrity. Her "Flip Over It" Got Milk commercial definitely convinced me that milk keeps you in the perfect balance (see title link).
