How to Live Like A Mermaid All Summer Long

Mermaids have always been surrounded by a certain level of mystique. Whether it’s the fact that these mythical creatures possess a unique set of persuasive, nearing on deadly, abilities, their power of song, or maybe just their unmatched beauty. We’re always enamored with mystery and I think that mermaids embody the mystery of the sea in the best way!

For those of us mere mortals who grew up on a steady diet of The Little Mermaid and want to live as close as possible to the real deal, this is as close as we’re likely to ever get (unless you’re this chick) to being under the sea, but hey; a girl can try!

How to Live Like A Mermaid All Summer Long

Swim in the Ocean. You know, because you’re a mermaid now and that’s what merfolk do. That’s right; I said Merfolk.
Bath in the Sunlight. Bask in the wonderful vitamin D sun! Pish posh, mermaids don’t get sunburned! (You do, though, so check below for sunscreen love!)
Comb Your Hair with A Fork. Or you know, don’t comb it at all. Because mermaids.
Wear Pink, Purple and Shades of Blue and Green. Obviously, these are the official mermaids colors, am I right?
Make Friends with Fish, Sea Crabs. Because under da sea! Where it is wetter, everything’s better, breaking out into song with sea lobsters…
Sing at Sunset. What else would you be doing at sunset?
Have a Whale of a Good Time! Look for buried treasure in shipwrecks, make friends with all the creatures of the sea, and avoid Ursula; she’s cray!

This has great coverage (medium-full), smells delicious, and includes a heap of natural ingredients to nourish your skin while you wear it!

Thesis Mermaid’s Cheek Seaweed Face Mask – Read My Review Here – This face mask smells kind of gross; just like seaweed and brine, but it works SO well. If you can stomach the not-so-pleasant scent, it’s definitely worth it. It gently heals acne, calms redness, and detoxes your pores.
Mungo Murphy Seaweed Bath – Read My Review Here – Another sea-scented bath, this is a seriously natural way to soften your skin up. The seaweed is literally encased in a kind of tea bag. You put the bag into a bowl of boiling water and let it steep for several minutes while you fill up your bath. Once your bath is ready, pour in the seaweed tea, sink into your bath, and enjoy all the beauty benefits the seas of Connemara have to offer!
