The weather gets hotter by the day, clothes get lighter and shorter, and before summer arrives, there's a lot for girls to do besides dieting !DailyView Online Thermometerhas revealed the top 10 things female netizens plan to do in summer — see if any of them hit home for you.

“Being a woman is hard ! It turns out these are all the things they do in summer.” Top 10 :
1. Lose weight
With summer comes beach trips and water play . Wearing a swimsuit can be a bit embarrassing , so it’s time to really show your figure . Thick legs , a chubby belly , and bingo wings will all be on full display . Get some sweat-inducing exercise before summer to firm up your body !

2. Buy new clothes and shoes
Shopping is every girl’s favorite thing , and when seasons change , it’s inevitable that you’ll want to buy some new styles . It’s also time to refresh your wardrobe by clearing out unworn clothes — either sell them at second-hand markets or donate them to charity or clothing recycling programs .

3. Go for water fun
“Every summer I’m heading to the beach ～” The beach is usually the first place that comes to mind for summer fun . Don’t forget to choose legal and safe swimming beaches or pools ; the same goes for waterfalls and streams — safety always comes first .

4. Choose sunscreen products
UV rays are a threat everywhere in daily life . Choose a sunscreen product with the right SPF , and apply it evenly to your face , neck , and limbs to avoid ending up unable to tan back to your original color or dealing with sunspots .

5. Prepare whitening products
As the saying goes , “One white covers three flaws .” Fair skin is a top priority for Asian girls . You won’t go anywhere without an umbrella , face mask , or gloves , and many beauty-loving girls are willing to wrap themselves up like snowmen even in summer . But if you’re aiming to attract foreign guys , that’s another story .

6. Body care
Unless you’re French and love the natural look , hair removal is definitely essential for girls , especially pesky underarm and leg hair — those need to go completely . The worrying issue of cellulite should also be tackled with proper exfoliation , plus daily application of lotion . In short , there are no ugly women , only lazy ones .

7. Change your hair color and hairstyle
Winter is great for long , flowing hair , preferably with a slight wave — very feminine . But in humid summer , switching to a lightweight , cute short haircut instantly makes you look several years younger , and it’s pleasant for others to look at too . Change up your hair color to welcome the arrival of summer 2017 .

8. Work out
Taiwanese girls aren’t necessarily overweight , but edema is more of a problem — big tummies and thick arms can look quite unflattering in shorts . Core muscle training through workouts is an efficient way to make your figure firmer and curvier .

9. Prepare oil-control makeup
Taiwan’s summer climate is hot and humid , and makeup you’ve carefully applied can quickly turn into a panda-eye disaster . Prepare blotting papers , waterproof and oil-proof eye makeup , and oil-control primers to keep your makeup flawless until evening .
