I'll have what she's having

These are the face and body treatments I love to kick off bikini season—with zero pressure attached

There’s something about the start of summer that makes me want to refresh—inside and out. The longer days, the warmer nights, and yes… the return of bikini season. And while no one needs treatments to feel good in their skin (we’re already enough as we are—always), I do love treating myself to a few non-invasive beauty rituals that make me feel a little more confident, glowy, and strong.

Think of this as my personal pre-summer ritual menu—not rules, just treats.

1. EMSCULPT for Booty and Abs

This is the first thing I schedule when summer’s around the corner. Emsculpt is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to build muscle and burn fat—all while you’re literally lying down.

It feels like an intense workout (your muscles contract like crazy), but you don’t break a sweat. In about 30 minutes, you get the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats. I like to focus on abs and booty to help tone and lift, especially after winter hibernation.

It’s totally painless, there’s no downtime, and the results are visible after a few sessions. Think firmer, more sculpted, and stronger—without spending extra hours at the gym.

2. Butt Lift and SlimWave
To take things up a notch, I pair Emsculpt with butt lift sessions and SlimWave treatments. SlimWave uses gentle electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, improve circulation, and help reduce water retention and cellulite.

It’s like giving your body a tech-assisted workout while you lie back and chill. The butt lift treatment helps shape and tone the glutes, giving them a lifted, plumper look—perfect for bikini bottoms and tight summer dresses.

The combo of muscle toning, lymphatic drainage, and skin-tightening really helps me feel snatched and smooth.

3. Spray Tan with NUDA

No summer prep is complete without a golden glow, and my go-to for that is a spray tan using NUDA.

Why NUDA? Because it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and made with natural ingredients that are kind to your skin. Unlike some spray tans that leave you looking orange or dry, NUDA gives a natural, sun-kissed tan with hydration and a radiant finish.

It’s like confidence in a bottle—minus the UV damage.

Pro tip: Exfoliate well before your spray tan and moisturize after to make it last longer and fade evenly.

4. Seasonal Facials for a Fresh Face
I make it a ritual to get a facial every change of season, and summer is no exception. Between SPF buildup, sweat, and extra outdoor time, our skin needs a little love.

My facials usually include deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions when needed, and a boost of hydration. I also love when they incorporate tools like microdermabrasion or LED therapy for added glow.

It’s the reset my skin needs—and the relaxation my nervous system craves.

5. Fresh Manicure

And while we’re talking glow-ups, there’s nothing like a fresh manicure in a summer shade to make you feel polished—literally. I went with lobster red as my color of the season—bold, a little spicy, and full of personality. But honestly? Whatever makes you feel like you works. Choose a shade that gives you that small hit of joy every time you look at your hands. That’s the whole point.

Year-Round Bonus: Good Habits Make It Work
Of course, all of this works best when paired with year-round habits. I stick to a balanced diet, regular workouts, and lots of water to keep things flowing and glowing from the inside out.

A Gentle Reminder
You don’t need any of these treatments to feel good in your body or enjoy summer. But if it feels like a form of self-care and celebration for you—then go for it. I see these moments as gifts to myself, little reminders that I deserve to feel good and enjoy the process.

Whether it’s an Emsculpt session or a quiet coffee in the sun—whatever helps you feel more you is the right choice.
