Stopping Summer Sabotage- Part 6 of 6
Perk up!
There’s no doubt that a little shopping therapy will improve your attitude. Set aside a small budget to add some sizzling, fun accessories to your summer wardrobe. Pamper yourself!
Find a cute pair of summer sandals or flip flops. If your kids are the right age, you might let them create some flip flops with rag strip “frills” .
Go shopping for some costume jewlery to jazz up that summer wardrobe(or let the kids make necklaces and earrings). This might even get some holiday gifts stock plied for winter gift-giving.
Hit the cosmetic counter and try out a new gloss, eyecolor or blush. Try a “fake bake” tan cream. Give yourself a pedicure or manicure. My daughter just discovered a thrifty way to do glitter toes!
Just put a clear or color base coat on then sprinkle with glitter. We used Martha Stewart glitter. Do two or three toes at a time with your foot on a sheet of paper so you can catch and save the excess glitter. Repeat. Topcoat with clear for some really terrific looking tootsies!
Having something fun waiting in the closet or jewelry drawer will inspire you to get cute and put some spring in your step and some “happy” in your voice.




Be creative!
