If you're anything like me, you're surprised year after year at how quickly bikini season sneaks up on you. It's always difficult for me to think about getting ready for the summer while I'm bundled up in my February clothes. So, of course, it's about 75 degrees outside in the middle of April before I start to realize how close the summer is.

To solve this yellow layer, you can read my step-by-step process below, or scroll to the video tutorial at the bottom of this post.
