Even on Monday, to celebrate Memorial Day, I went to Rockaway Beach in Queens, NY and my stomach slightly churned at the thought of taking my clothes off to reveal my bathing suit.

But today, I'm feeling some hope of rocking a bikini thanks to Gabi Gregg better known as Gabi Fresh, a fashion blogger and former MTV TJ.

Charity work can sometimes be boring. You know it. I know it. I spend a large portion of my free time doing volunteer work; however, if I’m not passionate about the work, it’s hard not to imagine myself relaxing in my underwear instead of scrubbing inner city dumpsters on a Sunday afternoon.  But guess what I just found out: relaxing in your underwear IS charity!
