I was on my laptop scrolling through Youtube and basically getting lost in the online world when i started to notice videos pop up that were talking about having a Hot Girl Summer.

So what exactly is this trend? And how did it start?

If you don't know Megan Thee Stallion (real name, Megan Pete) she is a 24-year-old Houston rap sensation who released her first full mix-tape album titled Fever  earlier this year.


On the mixtape, Megan introduced the alter-ego of “Hot Girl Meg,” and when asked what a Hot Girl Summer means she said; "It’s just basically about women and men being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody gotta say about it..."

So here are five simple ways to have a hot girl summer!

1. HAVE A SLEEPOVER WITH THE GIRLS



Nothing beats catching up on all that tea in realtime! While sipping some tea of course. I love flavoured green tea and fruit teas. You can make things fun by making it a skincare/spa session. These nose strips from ASOS and this charcoal mask by Banish! are perfect for a simple but thorough skin pampering session.

2. GET THAT SUMMER BODY


Getting back into the gym and breaking a sweat may not sound like fun but trust me, its great when you are with your girls. A group class would also help you all get a discount, and who doesn't like some saved coins?
If you are in Lagos, sign up for this FREE YOGA CLASS or try and find a GROUPON DEAL for the city you are in.


3. GO SOMEWHERE NEW

Travel doesn't always require a plane ticket. You can explore a neighboring city, or go on a road trip, Either way, just awaken the wanderess in you this summer. If you do want to travel this is my favorite website for tickets UNDER $700 .

How Will You be spending Your Summer?
