The Basics: Beating the Heat.

I am nearly done with packing for my

much awaited trip to

Florida/Georgia.

I'm no stranger to the muggy south

and I feel I am very much prepared

for moisture, bugs, heat, oh and BUGS.

Don't worry babies, I've got you covered (or rather, uncovered)

from head to toe.

Let's begin.

I have recently invested in Revlon's Just Bitten Lipstain

first in the color "twilight" and it worked so well

I knew I should get a good red from it since it lasted so long!

So I picked the color "gothic".

It's great! No smudges, and when it does eventually fade,

it doesn't leave a red ring around your lips. It just turns a luscious pink.

And by the way, I have tried some of the other "best selling" lipstain's and Revlon's really is the best!

So, who want's to bother with doing their hair, only to be consumed with

the frizzies from damp air?

Well pull those locks off your neck and stay breezy in

a sweet headband like this one I bought from

Urban Outfitters:

Now, for the torso.

I know I will have to resort to

wearing tee's. So I've stocked up

in unique print/colors like this from

Old Navy

If you look closely, you will see that it's a zillion little

cream colored dots. Mmmm.... dippin' dots......

Sorry.

And since I'm keepin' things light and airy here,

I'm not letting a big bulky purse weigh me down!

Therefore, I'm opting for a light, cross body bag

like this one from Banana Republic

that equally gets the job done:

Mmmmmk, so shoes.

This is a hard one guys.

Obviously, anything open and comfy.

However, for me, I find my

blue Keds most sufficient.

I also found adorable new prints like this on the site:

Ok, when I was a kid, I had this awesome pair of

jelly sandals. I never took them off, in fact, I was playin at the beach one day

and decided to walk around the shore.

When I came out of the water, I had no jelly sandals on.

In that event, I am just now buying myself

a new pair, at 20 :)

However, I warn against wearing them in water, because the tide will

eat yours too.

These adorbs little jellies found at Kohls.

Do you see the cutecutecute bow on the side?

Now, I also reccomend anti-frizz hairspray and/or serum,

bug spray, sunscreen and a bigbigbig smile!
