Summer Entrance

Summer begins today, June 20th. As a kid, I always looked forward to the Summer season beginning. For me, it meant no homework, long days at the beach, cookouts, local carnivals, and late nights watching television in an air-conditioned house.

Sunny days as temperatures rise is something to look forward to for all ages. Sunlight provides many things to the environment and our well being. Sun is considered a good way to lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Ultraviolet light converts cholesterol to Vitamin D. In the first place, a lot of research has been conducted showing sunlight plays a part in fighting many chronic illnesses. Also, those with arthritis feel more agile in warmer weather. Many cancers are slowed down by exposure to sunlight. Ultraviolet rays help reduce a sensitive immune system. Moreover, make sure you wear sun protection lotion of an SPF 30 or higher when being outside.

In the Winter, our bodies tend to crave sugar and comfort food to fight off the cold. Rising temperatures have us craving fruits and fresh vegetables. Of course, in warmer weather, we tend to wear less clothing. It is important to get your body in shape by exercising. Some exercise, fitness and activities to consider for the summer months are:

- Long walks on the beach or walking outdoor anytime.
- Swimming. If your not a fan of the ocean, consider a lake or outdoor swimming pool.
- Tennis.
- Volleyball. Beach volleyball is a great activity to participate.
- Outdoor exercise class.
- Water Aerobics.
- Bicycling.
- Fishing.
- Sailing
- Kayaking

In the warmer weather, we are inclined to drink more. I’m a big water drinker. By drinking more water during the day, your body loses more fat.

Summer Fashions to wear

With warmer temperatures in full swing, time to break out the Summer clothes. As you are getting ready for Summer, below are a couple of things to add to your wardrobe. The “Dreamy” t-shirt featured below is perfect to wear with jeans, shorts, or a skirt. At under $10.00, this is a fun piece to spruce up your day.

In addition, the dress below is perfect for day time or after 5. Furthermore, I love the print. Also, this can be worn for business attire by adding a cardigan and a closed toe shoe and for a night out. Additionally – take off the cardigan and show off the back detail featuring an adjustable bow necktie.

As a matter of fact, the dress below is one I fell in love with. Moreover, it is picture perfect for casual wear, a Summer beach party, an afternoon event, or nightclub.
