All of those hours of sweating it out during your Bikram Yoga classes, tracking down the perfect bikini or swimming trunks, getting your skin in prime condition with our DIY Sugar Scrub, have all come down to this: Summertime!

To get you into the summer groove (think: sun, surf, backyard BBQs, gelato and bonfires on the beach), the YDT team has compiled a playlist of our favorite summer songs.

By the sound of things, we’re thinking this is going to be one HOT summer!
