How to have a hot girl summer when you’re over thirty

I’ve made up my mind, and I’m not changing it. I’ve decided that I don’t want just any ole’ summer this year. Nah, I want a hot girl summer and nothing less. I also want to be able to go to bed at a decent hour and avoid any legal issues. Why? Because I’m over thirty and that’s the way my life is set up.

So what exactly is a hot girl summer, you say? Well … it can be whatever you want it to be, and that’s the beauty of it. I first saw the term while surfing Instagram. I became intrigued after seeing the hashtag trending a few times. The term hot girl summer is attributed to Houston hip-hop artist Megan Thee Stallion, A.K.A. Tina Snow.

I absolutely love how women of all ages, races, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds are claiming hot girl summer for themselves. In fact, I found a dope definition on Instagram that I really love courtesy of @mochandmimosas,

“A season of being unapologetic in your glow, securing your own bag, embracing the body you have, laughing more, living more, and doing the dang thang while feeling darn good!”
