It may have felt like an eternity but summer is finally here. We’ve already had a few days of sunshine and we’re excited for even more! It seems as if everyone has spent the past few months gearing themselves up for the warmer months with strict diets and fitness regimes so they feel confident in their favourite summer wear; shorts, swimsuits, summer dresses and even bikinis!
