When you think of the term “Hot girl summer”, what do you picture? For the longest time, I pictured it as spending time on the beach, wearing a bikini with a shredded body, partying and hooking up with people casually. There’s nothing wrong with that necessarily, but I know that it’s not for me. That’s why I never thought that hot girl summer was for me.
But recently, I have come to realize that that’s not really the case. Sure, some people do that; and again, that’s fine. However, that doesn’t mean that that’s the only thing hot girl summer entails. It can be the perfect opportunity to do different things and make yourself look and feel better than ever before.
Here are just four ways that I plan to enjoy hot girl summer that you can try too:
1. Take up self-care
Self-care is something that I partake in outside of the summer months. However, I feel like ramping up in the summer is something that I always enjoy doing. It’s the perfect excuse to shave my legs, paint my nails, and anything else that I may skimp on when it isn’t summer. If you want to know how I practice a day of self-care, I’ve written a blog in the past that you can check out if you wish. The main point is that taking up self-care is a great way to enjoy hot girl summer.
2. Try something new
Summer is always the perfect excuse to try something new. You can take in new experiences that can open you up to something different. If you think that means traveling to new places, that’s not always the case. You can try pretty much anything that you’ve never done before. Do something new to your hair, try a viral makeup trend, try out a new fashion trend or style- anything! It’s up to you to try any new experience during your hot girl summer.
3. Be yourself
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of hot girl summer is being yourself. By all means try new things and have new experiences. However, it’s still important to try and be yourself. At the end of the day, hot girl summer is about being yourself and living your truth, regardless of whatever that is.
4. Be confident!
This is just as important as my previous point. Confidence is so important in order to enjoy hot girl summer. Whether you’re wearing street clothes or a swimsuit, confidence will always be the sexiest part of your outfit. You should always have self-confidence in yourself because it’s important in order to feel good about yourself. By feeling confident, you’ll be able to enjoy hot girl summer even more.

Those are the many ways that I plan to enjoy hot girl summer- and how you can do it too. I’m just hoping that no matter what happens this summer that I’ll be able to have fun and enjoy myself as much as possible. That’s because at the end of the day, that’s what matters to me the most. I know that the season is already in full swing, but it’s not too late to have your own hot girl summer.
