If you are spending time in the sun try to get as much color as possible. I find that when I am not in tip top shape, the “Tie Bikini” is the way to go. Most come with a triangle top which is flattering (many tops and bottoms could even be mixed and matched these days) but the tie bottom is key. It allows you to adjust the bottom to your current size without drawing attention to any uncomfortable areas. ALSO, keep in mind you are your own worst critic.  Others will be admiring you in your bathing suit not noticing that piece of pizza you ate earlier in the week!

*Drinking a lot of water will help to keep the body looking healthy, slim and hydrated. I always add a lemon for an extra hint of flavor.
