Gabrielle Union is thriving — and I truly do love to see it.

As summer is just a few weeks away, the actor graced our Instagram feeds with four of the cutest bikini pictures I have ever seen on May 5, and suddenly I'm craving the sunshine and a nice walk outside. Staring right at the camera, Union is posed sitting with her legs crossed and her head resting in her right hand. 

The Bring It On actor is makeup-free, with her chocolate-colored twist pulled up into a loose bun at the crown of her head. Some of the longer strands fall down her back, flowing in the wind. 

Let's talk about these poses for a second because wow. In the second photo, we get a side view of her body, complete with under-boob (purr), as she stares up into the cloudy sky. She's smiling widely in the third photo with glowing skin, and in the fourth, she's giving us more of a smize. And those abs, though — can she drop the core routine? Because she is toned.

Matching the adorable theme of the photo, her nails are also neutral, but gorgeous. She gave us the tiniest sneak peek of what they look like from these images, and we can make out that they are almond-shaped and a nude-pink color. They look very natural, but there is a chance that they could be extensions.

If we haven't said it before, we are major fans of Union's pool pictures. So… if you're reading this, Gab, keep them coming. Hopefully, this series of photos inspires you to begin your hot girl summer right now, and if it didn't, well, we don't know what will. We thank Union for always motivating us with her simple glam, and we plan to rock a no-makeup look by the pool for all of June, July, and August.
