·         Read the comics before the financial indicators

·         Instead of your normal healthy muesli have a bowl with something luridly coloured, preferably out of a packet that includes a toy!

·         Have to wear a conservative suit all week? Buy yourself some fun underwear to wear underneath

·         Hold a games party – anything from Monopoly to 30 Seconds. Have a murder party and make everyone dress up

·         Be more spontaneous – say “Yes” to invitations you may have previously felt too busy to accept

·         Don’t wait for conventional holidays to celebrate – have a 17th day of the month party. Why? Just because …

·         Bring out the good glasses and china for your family to eat off

·         Make mud pies in the garden – even if you don’t have children

·         Buy chocolate cake mix. Mix and eat raw!

·         Build a kite, a model aeroplane and then try and make it fly

·         Forget the size on the label. It must feel and look good on you no matter what the numbers say

·         If choosing a two piece, choose a brand that sells tops and bottoms separately – very few of us are perfectly balanced

·         Ask what you want your costume to do. Serious laps can’t be done in a string bikini, posing requires something little rather than something too athletic

·         Move around in your costume to make sure you don’t fall out of it or need to spend your life rearranging it

·         Choose a fabric that doesn’t take forever to dry (not crochet!) drying your costume in the sun will shorten its life as elastic and lycra perish

·         Be consoled you will look a whole lot better in blinding sunlight than you do in the unforgiving lights of the stores changing rooms

What really suits your body shape?

·         Buy a one piece costume with a reinforced tummy panel

·         Dark colours are more slimming, however if you are very fair they can look too harsh, rather try dark brown or a strong blue

·         Look for a style with shirring or gathers at the waist to soften tummy bulge

·         For a sexier silhouette find a style that is cut high at the front and low at the back or has back detail

·         In a two piece choose a bottom that sits higher on the hip to flatten tummy

·         Tankini’s work well but must not be too tight

·         Be realistic on how much support you need. Triangular tops flatten at best and at worst large breast hang out from below

·         Athletic tops flatten yes, but also give the effect of a unibreast

·         Look for an under wired style, but not the padded type-bit old ladyfish

·         Halter neck tops give the best support especially when the straps are thicker. A broad back strap will give you additional support. String straps will cut into your shoulders

·         A medium high leg cut is most flattering rather than a too high cut

·         Wear a brightly coloured or patterned top  to draw attention away from the hips

·         Boy shorts in theory should work, as they do cover more. However because they are cut straight across they make hips and bum look bigger

·         Vertical stripes or a chevron pattern will slim

·         Cover hips with a sarong, pareo or hot pants in a darker colour

·         Choose a  one piece style with cut out waist or belted detail to create the illusion of a waist

·         Vertical stripes will make you appear like a block. Choose a chevron pattern or a pattern at an angle

·         Geometric patterns are better than curved ones

·         A one piece elongates the body

·         Go for a lower cut leg to lengthen your frame

·         A lighter or patterned top with a little extra padding will help make you look a little fuller

·         Halter tops will pull in what cleavage you have giving you more shape

Swimwear Trends

·         Lots of little bikinis in all colours and patterns from animal prints, to tie dye, to stripes are in

·         Costumes are like the clothes embellished with sequins, beads, bone and tassels

·         Colours range from metallic to bright acid colours

·         Don’t despair if you do not have the perfect body the shops are filled with beautiful cover ups. Use soft kaftan tops, scarves and sarongs to enhance your costume and help cover up some of your more wobbly bits

·         Don’t forget the self tanner. Brown flab looks a whole bunch more appetising than the white variety
