Whooooooooooo!

Some of my posts focus on inner beauty and some are about the outer appearance. This one is about the outside today! In many senses actually. Last summer, I went to Lagoon with my best friend Zachary, my brother Yoshi, Yoshi's girlfriend Dani and my Mum. I had never gone before and it was pretty fun I must admit. And I was going to post this when it was still hotter than the sun out but as you can tell, I kind of sucked at posting last year. Back to Lagoon, the only bad parts were:

A. The prices were a little ridiculous.
B. Its a good four hour drive from where I live.
C. There was no fashion sense... at all.

If you have ever been to Disneyland, you will notice the abundance of little emo children running about. This can be said about Lagoon! Except when I say emo, I mean totally lacked all knowledge of how to dress. And not to be rude, but they looked a little trashy. Granted, it was pretty hot. But you can look nice and not die of heat stroke at the same time. Why am I talking about this? Because it was SO painful to look at. So I am making some rules to abide by while theme parking it up!

1. Do not wear winter boots when it's hot outside. That is a stupid idea! It makes your feet hot and sweaty and it looks like you are confused.

2. Speaking of footwear, wear some comfortable shoes that will stay on your feet. Gladiator sandals, Converse, Keds, and Vans are all excellent choices. They won't fall off your feet on rides and they will keep your feet cool. If water is involved, go with the sandals so you don't waddle around all squishy! If you want to wear taller shoes, do wedges. But even I don't wear heels when I do amusement parks and I wear 5 inch heels 98% of the time.

3. Please keep in mind that little children are around. Cover up a little! We don't need children scarred for life! (And trust me, no matter how hot you are, you WILL scar them.) But don't worry. You don't need to wear a turtleneck to the amusement park. You can wear a cute embellished tank with thick straps, or a sheer flowy shirt over a spaghetti strap tank. Just don't have everything hanging out at once.

4. Leave holes in pants to a minimum. Also make sure you have an ample amount of pocket space available! If you decide to wear a skirt, make sure its not too loose because it will fly up on rides! If you do want to wear one though, have spandex or shorts under it. Wouldn't want to scare people or be yelled at for indecent exposure! Make sure whatever shorts or skirt you have on is long enough to cover your seat. Who knows what has been on that seat before you. Germs are a real thing people. Plus, sticking to the seat is not attractive. Neither is burning your legs or butt on the hot ride seat.

5. If it's an amusement park and a water park, it is a good idea to wear your swim suit under your clothing and to carry all your money and your phone in a plastic baggy in your pocket so it doesn't get ruined. Ziplocks really are life savers. This trick also works in the shower. I often listen to music in the shower or bath and if it is zipped up, no harm can be done if an accident occurs. Just check the Ziplock often to make sure no holes creep up. For this reason, bring extra bags.

Summary: Cover up but stay cool. Bring a Ziplock. Don't look whiskey tango. Enjoy your day. :)

Love, Mika.
