Who Runs The World? GIRLS… With These Clever, Girly Hacks

Summertime is the best time of year. Sand, sun, saltwater, and no school (for some — lucky!) is one of the most amazing combinations in the world. I mean, who doesn’t like to spend a hot summer day eating ice cream on the boardwalk while watching the waves go by? It’s a dream! And there is always so much to do during this time of year! Outdoor concerts, surfing, hiking, shopping for cute summer hats, shopping for cute summer sandals, shopping for cute summer sunglasses — the list goes on and on.

However, if you’re a girl, summer can be… a bit tricky. What bathing suit should you wear to the beach? Should you experiment with a crop top when temperatures get insane? What happens when you get lipstick stuck on your teeth when going on a picnic with your crush? And oh no — what happens if you drop food on your white tee during that same exact picnic trip? Don’t worry. We’ve got your back. To answer your questions and give you a helping hand, we have the following summer hacks for girls.

Now take a deep breath and enjoy the sunshine. You deserve it!
