Why Do We Suddenly "Sort Ourselves Out" In Summer?

Have you ever noticed how June suddenly sneaks up on us?

One minute you are still in trainers, throwing a jumper on and pretending summer is ages away…then suddenly someone mentions a BBQ, a holiday, a wedding or a weekend away and you think -

“Oh … maybe I should sort myself out a bit.”

It is funny how this time of year suddenly makes us notice all the little things.

Feet that have not seen daylight since last summer.
Nails that could do with some TLC.
Skin feeling a bit tired.
Brows that somehow seem to disappear overnight.

This is completely normal.

Summer suddenly becomes very real

I think part of it is that life changes a little at this time of year.

We naturally start seeing people more.
There are garden parties, holidays, meals out, weddings, day trips and warmer weather.
We wear sandals again.
Sleeves get shorter.
Hair goes up.

Without really realising it, we become a little more aware of ourselves.

It is usually not about wanting perfection

This is the thing I notice most about when chatting to clients - very few people are trying to completely transform themselves, most just want to feel a little fresher, a bit more confident and a bit more comfortable.

Sometimes it is simply -

Getting nails tidy again
Having feet sandal ready
Giving tired skin a boost
Sorting brows and lashes
Taking an hour to properly relax

It is often the little things that quietly make the biggest difference.

Confidence looks different for everyone.

For some people, confidence is lovely tidy nails. For others, it is smoother feet, fresh brows or simply having an hour where nobody needs anything from them for once.

There is no right or wrong.

Sometimes feeling good is just those small things that help you feel a little more like you again.

A little reminder

If you have suddenly caught yourself thinking - “Right… I really should sort myself out a bit”

Please know you are in very good company.

Summer has a funny way of making us all notice ourselves again. Sometimes the smallest little refresh can make you feel so much better day to day.
