15 IDEAS FOR THE PERFECT SUMMER FLING

Summer romances and outdoor escapades open up a world of possibilities... and they're a real test for your creativity and self-confidence, which might've been too long under a blanket and a jumper. So, today we’re dropping tips to help you enjoy the good weather, great company... and to look absolutely smashing.

FIRST OFF:

pick something different from what you'd normally do in any old September: 

1. AN OPEN-AIR CINEMA:

Although Netflix and chill is a top-notch choice all year round, watching your favourite 90s film outdoors with a sandwich in hand has its own charm and sweetness. The open sky, the fresh air, and those not-so-comfy chairs... extra points if you make the effort to bring a portable projector and a screen for a private showing under a starlit sky.

2. A DAY CRUISE:

No need to jet off to the Caribbean; just hit up Google and scope out the local boat scene. Whether it’s bobbing along the Thames with a cheeky drink, catching festival vibes on the Isle of Wight ferry, or snapping epic cliff pics on a Jurassic Coast cruise, there’s plenty of splash to be had. Step aboard and live out your own Love Boat episode! 

3. TAKE A DAY TRIP:

No set itinerary to those little villages that "aren't worth a long holiday" are the best. Villages really come alive in the summer, so despite the heat, they’re most enjoyable then.

4. HIT UP A FAIR OR TAKE A STROLL DOWN A PIER:

Whether you're checking out the rides, games, and food stalls at a bustling fair or enjoying the classic amusements on a lively pier, you're guaranteed a fun and varied experience. Places like the Brighton Pier with its iconic attractions or the fun-filled Blackpool Pleasure Beach offer the quintessential British summer vibe. It's like living in an American film but without the serial killer or the cringe.

5. TRY AN EXTREME SPORT:

For those who love a bit of adrenaline, both in and out of the sheets: bungee jumping, zip-lining, paragliding, and even skydiving are the kind of activities that... the date might go well or not, but it'll definitely be memorable. Plus, the adrenaline rush might make the evening even more thrilling. 

SECONDLY:

get ready for that summer vibe... which is also different from the “intensity” of winter: 

1. THE SOUL OF A SUMMER ANTHEM:

Light, fresh, ephemeral. Soul of a festival, local party or beach bar... Summer is for dancing, shouting and shaking. You can allow yourLight, fresh, fleeting. The spirit of a village fest, a local do... Summer is for dancing, shouting, and letting loose. You can afford to lose your sense of embarrassment even more and just wave the flag of wanting to have fun without having to show all the seriousness you pretend to have on your socials. You can (and it’s a constitutional right) bring out your wildest and most childish side.

2. LET IT ALL FLOW:

In summer, it's in poor taste to ask about feelings or the future of a week-long relationship. You're on holiday, relax, enjoy, and let the summer breeze and the waves take you where they will.

3. CARPE DIEM (WITH CONSENT):

Live in the moment, the present, the next date (if there is one) and not much else. Every experience counts and can lead you to discover new aspects of yourself and others.

4. TURN UP THE HEAT, LOWER THE EXPECTATIONS:

Your life isn't a movie and, even if it goes well, TV series skip the typical discomforts of summer loves: hungover mornings together, waking up eating sand, salt in your nether regions. Forget a magazine-cover summer and go for one filled with stories and anecdotes too hot to share on stories for fear of being cancelled.

5. NEITHER YES NOR NO:

Who said the end of a date has to be a yes or a no? Where did we get this idea of so much binary attached to love, to dating... To ‘forever’ or goodbye. What if instead you just immersed yourself in the moment and created memories? We’ll see if they’re the kind to tell your mates in the pub or your grandkids with the partner of your dreams, but one step at a time.

THIRD:

spruce yourself up to bring out your best self:

1. SUMMER OUTFIT:

Rock that loose shirt, those shorts or linen ones... that outfit you'll probably only wear 2 or 3 times this year but while you have it, it makes you feel like a proper Baywatch lifeguard.

2. SCENT OF JALEO:

Which, besides being Siwon's perfume, perfectly matches the dating moment: citrus notes of Amalfi lemon, a woody and sensual base, and a playful night of tonka bean like the one left in the dregs of a large Gin Tonic. Nothing like a seductive summer fragrance for a lasting impression. 

3. INTIMATE CARE:

The intimate area suffers the most from heat, smells, and sweat this season, and we don't want too much linen in the trousers to play us a nasty trick. Imagine ending this evening with the adventure of your life on the beach? Better be prepared for that with our all-in-one cream for that area,  Giggleberries: hydrates, nourishes, with deodorant, antiperspirant... and a candy scent. 

4. PROTECTED DURING THE DAY, INCOGNITO BY NIGHT:

We get it. Up to now, you had to choose between looking like a white mime at your date, covered in sticky sun cream, or being fresh and cool. But with our Handsomefyer Sun, being protected and good-looking at the same time is possible. It has SPF50 but, moreover, it instantly ups your attractiveness by blurring wrinkles, pimples, blemishes, and evening out that beach-tanned tone.

5. BODY READY TO CARAMELISE:

With Melonizer, our after-sun and tan enhancer, your skin will be soft, hydrated, and bronzed...

In short, sip the summer. Drop by drop, kiss by kiss, date by date. It’s the perfect time to create memories and live adventures. And if you do it with our creams, in the right place and with the right attitude, you're sure to have maximum fun and style! 

PS: This week's post is brought to you by  Handsomefyer Sun, the all-in-one SPF 50 to keep you looking lush and make your summer love swoon over your sun-kissed charm.
