 Watch out, the summer is
coming!

Although it is still May – we can

sense the summer breeze
coming closer and closer.
So dig up your mini skirts, tops
and get rid of your old jeans

Fortunately sunbathing is yet

time to give your body the
final touch. Therefore put on
your trainers, crab Your Mp3
and take a destination to the
nature for a jog.
Jogging is the best way to chase the stress and depression away!

Of course you cannot forget healthy eating all the time. Now is good time to
switch chips, burgers and candies, which is most likely the unhealthiest food on
earth, for carrots, smoothies and salads.
You don’t want to end up like one of the fat fast-food-loving Americans, do you?

Summer, as you know, is the season of grill parties, friends and campfires. So
why not enjoy it all and forget work, problems and worries.

Don’t let them track you down or anything. Just be positive and look out for
yourself and feel pretty!

Take care,
