Mariya Melnyk is footloose and fancy-free in this exclusive C-Heads editorial shot by photographer Ted Emmons.
The photographer-model duo headed to a beach in Malibu to capture the beautiful day. Ella Fitzgerald once sang that summertime is when the living is easy, and Melnyk certainly proves the sentiment true in this editorial. The sandy-haired beauty doesn't look like she has a care in the world as she lets sand trickle through her fingers, frolics in the frothy waves and stretches out her lithe body to its full height to catch some rays (and Z's).
I feel rested and refreshed just looking at Melnyk lounging on this pristine beach. Unfortunately, staring at her bronzed and toned body while basking in the glow of your computer screen won't do much for your tan.
