A cheeky guide to self-love, travel-friendly toys, and feel-good routines when you’re your own best date. Some people spend summer chasing situationships, curated sunset pics, and pinteresty men in linen shirts.
You? You’re doing something better.
You’re dating yourself.
This is your guide to having a Hot Girl Summer, even if you're the only one in your bed, your DMs, and your dinner reservations. Especially then.
Step 1: Romanticize Everything
Solo summers work best when you channel main character energy—especially when no one’s watching. Buy the flowers. Take yourself out. Shave your legs for you. That coffee walk? Oscar-worthy. That skincare routine? Cinematic. You are the plot.
Step 2: Your Routine = Your Religion
You’re not doing this for glow-up season. You’re doing this because it feels good to take care of yourself.
- 
Morning sun + SPF
 - 
Water bottle that goes everywhere with you like emotional support
 - 
Walking like you’re in a music video
 - 
Moisturized knees. Always.
 
You don’t need a 12-step routine. You need the one that makes you feel expensive and well-slept (even if you’re neither).
Step 3: Talk to Yourself Like a Crush
If you wouldn’t say it to your best friend or your current delusion of a crush, don’t say it to yourself.
Your inner monologue sets the tone of your summer. More “God, I’m hot” and less “Ugh, I look tired.”
We’re done with self-deprecating slander (soooo late season). You’re not tired. You’re mysterious.
Step 4: Plug Into Pleasure
Because pleasure is personal, portable, and honestly? A great use of downtime.
If you're new to the world of clitoral stimulators or just want something sleek, powerful, and non-intimidating, this one’s a vibe. Literally. The ROMP Free uses air pulsation technology to deliver touchless pleasure (read: no numbing, all tingles). It’s waterproof, travel-friendly, and cute enough to leave out "by accident." A great way to have a forever plus one to all summer trips.
Step 5: Do the Thing You Said You'd Do "One Day"
That class, that restaurant, that solo picnic, that hobby you’ve been moodboarding for months! This is the moment. You have time, freedom, and zero need to coordinate with someone else's calendar. You’re not waiting to be asked out, you’re inviting yourself in.
Step 6: Reclaim the Night
Yes, hot girl summer includes nights in. Especially the good ones.
Take the loooong shower. Wear the matching PJs (yes, those cute ones). Pour the wine. Put on the playlist that makes you feel like a retired Bond girl living alone on the Amalfi coast. Not every evening needs to be wild to be worth it.
Hot Girl Summer, But Make It Internal
Being single doesn’t mean you’re missing out. Sometimes, it means you’re tuning in. You get to write the script. You get to be the lover and the love.
So whether you're poolside, couch-bound, or somewhere between a breakthrough and a breakdown, remember: the hottest thing you can do this summer is choose yourself.
