Wishing y’all the best and happiest Fourth of July ever! Goddess Granny is celebrating in rainy South Texas but wherever you are I hope you have a fun-filled day, even if you’re outside the USA because we really don’t need a reason to pop a few corks and polish off some snacks (healthy of course?) here at Meg’s because anytime is a great day to celebrate feeling good and looking great!

For us here in the US, the 4th usually means that the official Summer-party season is ON and that anything normally only worn, eaten, or done in mass-quantities of steamy indulgence is allowed for a few short weeks so break out the bikinis and enjoy like you did when you were a kid!

It can be a bit more challenging to keep one’s face and self cool and collected when the temps soar but we’ve already chatted about some ways to be your prettiest when you’re hot (and not in the good way…) by lightening up on your makeup and giving your hair a break from all the heat-styling and products and how to use self-tanners to fake your glow safely. I’ve also “noticed” that it can be a time to re-evaluate what you choose to smell like as well: the sexy-scents that might be memorable the rest of the year sometimes end up smelling like fruit salad left out in the sun when it’s warmer and anything that is considered “heavy” can really be overwhelming and unpleasant when you’re trying to be fresh and inviting on a truly humid day!
