Summer When It's Winter - 7 Escape Routes To Take You There Now!
5 May 2011
Bring summer back by reviving your senses and unlocking your favourite summer memories. For me, fragrance is an instant hit. Find your escape route now!
Try:
1. Grabbing an overseas mag as a treat and take a peek at what they've been doing during summer, what's hot, what's not, the colours, the styles, the prints.
2. Listening to music that takes you to that special summer place. The ultimate has to be The Summer by Josh Pyke..."If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house and pour it loose through your garden"...takes me to the beach shack every time.
3. Turning the heating up to max for 1/2hr and get around in your favourite sundress. Adding a banana lounge, cocktail (see not below) and sunnies to the mix definitely helps.
4. Slapping on hair products with wondrous summer names and scents...'Hair Resort' by Kevin Murphy my personal favourite.
5. Summer scents: Candles or better still...wear your favourite summer balm or perfume. Frangipani...coconut...vanilla...citrus...pinacolada (wait...wrong category!)
6. Sipping a summer 'sling'...have it before your roast beef if you must. Incorporate it into '3' above for a most interesting escape.
7. Applying a fake tan!
The important thing is just to take a little time. It's nurturing those summer memories and moments that matters most. I'm off to dive into a bath of coconut oil and floating frangipani candles to relive mine!
Enjoy your summer when it's winter escape girls, whatever you choose to do.
