How To Make A New Soul Sister This Vacay!
Girls' Life magazine|June/July 2018

Your bestie-for-life is packing her bags for sleepaway camp, leaving you stuck at home to find a friend to fill her flip-flops. So who’s going to be your go-to girl for the next eight weeks? Seek out a bud who boasts some—or better yet, all!—of these ideal traits. Then, set your sights on a soul sister who will help you soak up every moment of summer.

How To Make A New Soul Sister This Vacay!

SUMMER SISTER SIGN #1

HER CODE NAME IS “YOLO”

Maybe she’s the girl down the street who runs that ridiculously popular (and adorbs!) fashion Insta. Or maybe she scoops ice cream by day and checks out cool local bands by night. You could call her a good-time girl, but she’s really much more than that: This babe is both inspirational and gutsy—and you can totally thrive off her ambitious attitude.

So this summer, seek out a sister who will bust you right out of your comfort zone and encourage you to go for whatever it is you want to do. Vowed to learn how to surf? Or finally get that black belt? She’s the one who will challenge you to take baby steps in that daring direction.

SUMMER SISTER SIGN #2

SHE HAS DIFFERENT INTERESTS THAN YOU

Sure, you may not share the same taste in tunes (she loves country; you, not so much) or clothes (you’re boho, she’s totally trendy). But that doesn’t mean you still can’t be tight. Break away from the same old, same old and learn a little from your new bud—whether it’s having her talk you through her better-thanBeyoncé dance moves or teaching you the trick to awesome nail art. Then, you can thank her by offering a lesson in baking your famous brownies. Win-win.
