5 Life Hacks: Deodorant marks, Tanning, and More!

1. Deodorant on your shirt?  Save yourself the huge water spot.  Instead of scrubbing with soap and water and hoping that it's all gone when it dries, use a pair of tights or nylons, and just rub it (without water).  It will come off super fast.  Guys- a sponge with a rough side works just as well :)
2. Maximize your tan.  Postpone a shower until at least 6 hours after you've been in the sun to give your tan time to fully develop.  It makes a huge difference.
3. Powerade Zero... the zero calorie sports drink.  Carbonated drinks make you feel full and not exactly bikini-ready.  This drink is sooo good- try the blue and the pink ones.
4. SPF 30 on questionable moles or freckles.  This always alleviates my worries about getting skin cancer.  I just put a dot of spf-30 sunscreen on the freckles that freak me out.
5. Don't bring your laptop to the beach.  I was at Jamestown beach on friday afternoon and I saw a few students attempting to type papers on their laptops.  You're basically asking to ruin your computer.  Sand and computer keyboards don't mix.  Take a day off! Enjoy the beach! "Purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka".
