20 Ways to Look and Feel Great This Summer

Want to go on vacation this summer but don't have the time or money? Tell me about it! I've come up with 20 ways that you can look and feel like you've been relaxing at the beach all summer, without even leaving town.

If you can't bake it, fake it! We all know that tanning our bodies wreaks havoc on our skin ... but it looks so good! Self-tanners have come a long way from the iodine-in-a-bottle that left us all orange in the 80s. There are so many to choose from: lotion, mouse, spray-on. And, speaking of spray-on, many tanning salons offer spray tanning booths for an even, safe tan.

Take care of your hair. Don't let the sun damage your tresses. Use a deep conditioner once a week and a leave-in conditioner. If you are a swimmer, try spritzing the inside of your swim cap with a leave-in conditioner.

Look sun-kissed. Highlights can make you look like you wile away your days on the beach. Talk to your hairstylist about the appropriate amount and location of highlights that best fits your color. For a cheaper version, try combing lemon juice through your hair while you are outside.

Get a new do. A kicky short hairstyle may be just what you need to look refreshed - maybe even try a new color!

Read a book. That's right, put on your headphones with a recording of ocean waves, relax in your chaise lounge and read! There's nothing that washes away your cares like getting absorbed in a good book.

Revamp your smile. A good tan always makes your teeth look whiter. But now even pale faces can have whiter teeth! Talk to your dentist about all the different teeth whitening options.

Wake up your make up. Just as you change your wardrobe during the summer, you should also change your makeup. You can look like you have a summer glow by using brush-on bronzers, and avoid looking like you're melting by substituting them for foundation. Shimmer and shine - with eye shadows and lip glosses, that is. Pick pale colors and keep it to a minimum for a fresh face.

Treat your feet. Don't neglect your tootsies during the summer - they're way too exposed! Splurge on a pedicure and you'll be more likely to take care of them.
