June 20th marks the official start of Summer. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 2016 is extra special because there will be a full moon on the same day as summer solstice, which hasn’t happened in 70 years! The first day of summer is also the longest day of the year (about 17 hours). Wondering what to do this season? Here’s our Summer to-do list to help you get started. Tweet or Snapchat me @GalMeetsGlam to let us know what you’re doing!
