Did you know you can make your own mermaid hairbrush at home? All you need are sea shells (either ones you have collected or if not just buy some pretty ones you like), pearls and glue! You can also use nail polish to make the sea shells look prettier and dreamy. Here are some examples:
Obviously you can't be a mermaid if you don't swim. Even if you prefer tanning over being in the sea, even just sitting nearby the waves on the sand will feel better. Also if you have the chance to take up surfing classes then don't waste it (think about Merliah from Barbie in A Mermaid Tale).
3. ISLAND FOOD & TV INSPIRED
For a mermaid, her eating habits are very important. She eats whole food meals, and at the same time light ones so she can swim later on. Island food is mainly consistent of fruits, seafood, yogurt bowls and colourful drinks. Also you can try recipes from your favorite mermaid movies (ex. pickled beetroot and poi from Barbie in a Mermaid Tale or Juicenet Cafe drinks from h2o Just Add Water).
Again you can either buy them or make them. For example you can make a sea shell necklace similar to Merliah's from Barbie in A Mermaid Tale. Also some of the cutest accessories to own for summer are leg bracelets! They are everywhere on islands and you can buy them pretty cheap too. And then beautiful flower hair clips in hot pink or pastel blue.
5. GLITTER, GLITTER AND GLITTER!
Use glitter literally anywhere you want. There are a lot of fragances that contain glitter so your whole body will shimmer. Or shimmery eyeshadow, hair glitter, and a lot of highliter (especially at the inner corner of your eyes). For the glitter fragances, I recommend coconut, vanilla, flower and fresh scents!
6. CREATE SUMMER PLAYLISTS
Putting on the right music will always set the vibe. There are a lot of mermaid playlists that exist already on music apps like spotify, but making your own is always more fun. I prefer more pop and upbeat songs like Lush Life, Starships, 3 Strikes and Lean On, but of course if you want a more ethereal and siren aesthetic you can create a different one!
Being active matters a lot, not only to keep your body in shape, but also stay healthy. Some sports you can try are beach volley, running, yoga or pilates. Of course you shall do lots of walking and swimming too! These suggestions are good for building stamina and fun too!
Choose one room in your house to express your self in by decorating it. That could be either your bedroom or even your desk. Just choose the one you spend the most time in. If you take for example the h2o Just Add Water girls' bedrooms for example, they are colourful, beach wallpapers, flowers and sea shells up in their walls, pictures of themselves with their friends.
Another fun activity to do yourself or with friends are henna tattoos! Basically you can buy a henna tattoo kit and draw cute things on your arms, a bit more up on your waist line, basically everywhere on your body. Henna tattoos stay between one to three weeks, so you can make new tattoos often! Some cute summer designs include turtles, flowers, sea shells, butterflies and dolphins.
10. BE OUTSIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Summer is finally the time for a break from all the burdens of daily life. So instead of staying in your house all day and doing nothing, hang out with your friends! If you don't have friends, then join social activities like sports to make some and stop being shy! Some hang out ideas are: at the beach, at a certain cute cafe to make your hang out spot, walking around new neighberhoods you have never visited.
11. CONSUME MERMAID MEDIA
Watching the right shows can actually help you set the vibe better. Mermaid media can include everything from movies to books and magazines. Some of my favorite ones are: Barbie in A Mermaid Tale, h2o Just Add Water, Aquamarine, The Little Mermaid, Ponyo, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, A Lull in The Sea.
