1 One sarong; one entire off-duty wardrobe sorted.
2“Baby, you’re so good at braaing. You cook tonight.” Every night.
3 Forgetting to use a hairbrush and calling it the beach look. Even if you live in Joburg.
4 Blasting Nicki Minaj so loud your car moves – without starting it. Surely it’s called ‘Super bass’ for a reason?
5 Peeing in the pool. (Aaah, relief.) C’mon, if Michael Phelps can admit to it, then you’re definitely in the clear.
6 Counting three ice creams and one margarita as a well-balanced lunch.
7 Frizz, sweat, mosquito bites… whatever. You still look way sexier than you did in June.
8 Bumping hats as you kiss your summer fling. A better alternative than exposing your hair, no?
9 Sending closed shoes to Exile Island. Slops, wedges, sandals… hello you beauties!
10 Too much food and too little sleep. Hey, you’re topping up your fun-o-metre, sensible choices are for winter.
11 Chlorine-green locks. Thanks to the out-there hair trend, you’re all good – just think of it as Katy Perry’s little gift to you.
12 River! Pool! Beach! Outdoor adventure sex is the new regular sex.
13 Considering Mills and Boon perfectly viable reading material. On the beach. Under a BIG umbrella.
14 Toe rings. Those little hippie classics are one-season-wonders for a reason.
15 Long, extended family get-togethers. Only doable when the sun’s a-shining and the drinks a-flowing.
16 Self-tan, short shorts, sparkle and woah-there heels. In short, turning into Snooki is perfectly OK for one season of the year.
