My summer essentials

Summer is undoubtedly my favorite season of the year!!!I love summer....and of course I love going to the sea!!!...Here are my summer essentials in order to hit the beach!!...I am addicted to bathing suits especially bikinis( I will show you my bikini collection soon ) ,but I really fancy the one pieces!I haven't bought any of these so many years beacause I was  afraid of the tanning lines! But I said: what the heck?!!!Let's try one and rotate it with a bikini to avoid the harsh tanning lines!!!So I bought this one from Marks&Spencer and...I loved it!!!...I believe it's very feminine and quite exotic with all these colorful prints!!!...Moreover, in order to protect myself from the sun I use for years my favorite face protector from Clinique with an SPF 25. For the body I use the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess with an SPF 15 and when I want to enhance my tanning I use a tanning oil,this one is from Hawaiian Tropic with an SPF 4 and it's pretty good actually!!I use it especially on my legs which tend to remain white!!:( Also, I use a lip gloss with an SPF 25 to protect and moisturise my lips!Last but not least, I always use an after sun lotion after taking a bath back in home to help my body be hydrated after the exposure to the sun!!!This one is also from  Estee Lauder and it's very good!!!It also enhances and prolongs tanning!!!

Destination:Vacation !!!

It's this time of the year in Greece that people decide where they are going to spend their summer vacation!!....Most people here in Greece tend to rest and spend their holidays during August!...That means that vacation during August must be aranged and prepared at least one month before by all means!!!So as a Cyclades-fan ,me myself I am thinking of picking one of the Cyclades islands...You???Have you decided where you will go this summer?!!!I can't wait to hear about your summer destinations...!!!!
