Self-portraiting my kinda tan-ish self as night falls on our first full day in St. Barth’s.

I wore my hair Princess Leia-style about 90% of the time – such an easy fix for unruly beach locks. There are two ways to do this: either gather hair into two loose ponytails directly behind the ears, and then just don’t pull the hair all the way through the band on the last turn (this looks better if your hair is curly/wavy), or make two ponytails behind your ears, twist the hair around itself, and secure with bobby pins that match your hair color (the better option for straight hair).
