Whether you’re on a vacay or you‘ve actually managed to catch a few British rays, these are the ultimate stages of sunbathing us gals all know to be true…

1. Kinda wondering if you can still catch a tan through your window

Not even a bitta sun comes between a girl and a Netflix binge.

2. Struggling to decide what swimwear to rock

You’ve got your sassy statement costume that makes you feel a million $$$s, or your typical triangle bikini that won’t leave you with ridiculous tan lines.

3. Reserving a sunbathing spot at the crack of dawn

If you want the *perfect* spot you’ve got to claim it before heading out for brekkie.

4. Shamefully putting off wearing SPF

But reluctantly putting it on OFC – it’s just SO damn sticky. *Shudders*

5. Complaining about it being too hot

You’ve only been waiting half the year for the sun to come out – but now you’re protesting it’s way too much for you to handle.

6. Wondering why no one else looks as bad as you

Your BFF is in bathing bliss, whilst you’re legit losing your body weight in sweat.

7. Questioning your hair removal choices

And awkwardly realising you’re DEFINITELY overdue a wax…

8. Craving ALL of the Mr Whippys

I mean, it’s too late to start worrying a beach bod amiright?

9. Finding sand in folds of your body you never knew existed

SRSLY though – how does it get everywhere?

10. Thinking you’re getting a new golden glow…

Then taking off your sunglasses and realising you’re actually red raw.
