I know you guys can do it because you guys are AMAZING!

I'm really excited to show guys these hacks!

So without further ado, lets jump straight to the video!

There's some days when I want to chill in the pool without getting wet

Or worrying about falling in the water because maybe the water is too cold or you're just not into that

So a great hack is just to get a kid's swimming pool and blow it up and use it as a little floating island

So much roomier than de floating swans or the floating, like beds

And because the sides are kind of higher you can put towels, books and pillows and everything in there

Without worrying about it falling in the water and getting wet, including yourself

I don't want to risk falling into the water either. Especially like the pool here, right now, is SO cold

There's so many great designs for kids swimming pools

This one is so cute! It's like a little dinosaur and I call it Nessie

Who wants to go out and grab a drink once you've settled down in the pool?

So here's a great hack for all of you guys that want to keep hydrated while you're in the pool

And that is to create your very own floating minibar

Just grab some pool noodles, a plastic tub that is wider at the top than the bottom

Cut the pool noodles to the length of the sides of the tub

We basically want to create a border all the way around the tub

Don't worry! The noodles are actually really easy to cut with just a normal pair of large scissors

Grab a piece of string and thread it through your noodles

I chose alternating colours to add a pop of brightness

And now pull it super tight, and tie a double knot to make sure it doesn't come loose while it's in the water

All you need to do now is to add some ice in the bottom and your favourite drinks in the tub

It is such a great way to stay hydrated while out there floating with little Nessie

So this hack literally made my legs feel so smooth

Like I've never felt my legs this smooth before, so you guys got to try it!

It's like a double shave and scrub routine

And to make this scrub you just simply combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of honey

Just mix this all together and you'll have the perfect sugar scrub

Now, all you need to do is to shave normally and then use the sugar scrub on the areas you just shaved

That's kind of stopping your shaver from getting as close to the root of your hair as possible

And then simply after you've done that wash it of and shave again

It'll literally be the smoothest shave you've ever experienced

If you want to temporary tan but you've run out of self-tanner or don't have any

A great option is just to use some cocoa from your cupboard

Just mix some cocoa with some body moisturiser into a thick liquid like consistency, like this

It pretty much looks like dirty milk chocolate

And you'll have a simple self-tanner that's the perfect colour and it's not orange, which is awesome

Just take a little bit and rub it onto your skin

And it'll just leave a thin film to create a little dark tan

So you can see how it's darken my skin a tiny bit

And to remove it you simply shower and use some baking soda if there's like any stubborn bits

If you want sunbathing to be even more fun try adding a pattern to your body with sunscreen or Elmer's glue

And this will create your very own tan tattoo

Make sure you're wearing sunscreen on all other parts of your body as well

Sun can really damage your skin if it's not protected

After applying sunscreen on your face and just general summerness

It makes your face look super oily and greasy

And a great way to de-shine is just to apply some translucent powder on your face through a thin tissue

I always find applying it directly it gets too heavy and forms like clumps and collects around my sunscreen

Or like facial oil, yes, it sounds disgusting but it happens all the time

So the tissue helps you de-shine without looking like you've applied like too much powder on your face

And the best thing is your sunscreen is still on and you don't rub it off during this process

I am a horrible mozzie bite scratcher like I just can't keep my fingers off of them

A great hack if you're a scratcher like me is to just to use toothpaste on the bites to sue them

It gives you a cool tingly feeling and it actually really works

I was a bit dubious about this one, I didn't think it would work but it did

And I forgot about my bites for a few hours after that

The other thing you can try to do is to slap it really hard until is just painful instead of itchy

So in summer keeping mozzies away is literally the bane of my existence

So when I found this really cute and natural mozzie repellent candle I just had to show you guys!

All you need are: jars, essential oils that mozzies hate like eucalyptus, lavender oil and other oils

Like here's a list and you just basically choose one that works for your mozzies 'cause all mozzies are different

The other things you'll need are: lemon, limes, rosemary and also tea candles or floating candles

Just fill up your jar two-thirds of the way up with water

Slice up your lemon and limes and then add them into your jar with two springs of rosemary
