Don't go chasin' waterfalls?

Why? Why shouldn't I go chase waterfalls? TLC you were seriously so wrong. -- My exact thoughts when I was hiking along waterfalls at Swallow Falls State Park this week. I understand it was some metaphor that TLC needed to share with the world but if you ever find yourself at the foot of multiple waterfalls, don't listen to TLC's advice. You better go chase 'em. And take a selfie or 2. Maybe while listening to the song, because it is a classic 90's jam.

Summertime Radness - Mikoh

While living in San Diego, I was lucky to peruse through a number of bikini warehouse sales. Which by the way, New Jersey is highly lacking of. Over a year ago, I came across a Mikoh warehouse sale -- I had seen them all over Instagram but never actually got to try one on. Once I did, I was hooked. Vibrant colors, creative designs, soft fabric...the list could go on and on.

You may have heard of or seen Mikoh more recently thanks to the uber fantastic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. [Yes, I love it because I get to see all the glorious kinis] I was pleasantly surprised when I saw one of my own bikinis, purchased over a year ago, sported by none other than Anastasia Ashley....I can't say I wore it better, but I can say I love it even more now. 

Check out more Mikoh summertime radness and see why they are such a favorite.

A Bit of Perfection

When you find a bit of perfection like this,

you can't help but stop,

and thank the mermaids.

Shark Week..Ooh Ha Ha

I have a secret love for sharks...while being equally terrified of them. As an ocean lover, I respect them, but admit I am cautiously fearful. We go into their territory yet expect to kill any shark that threatens our shores. We all truly need to be educated in keeping sharks and our shores safe. 

This year, I encourage you to watch shark week as educational value rather than just a fad thing to do. Learn and help how you can at your beaches. If all else fails, watch Finding Nemo and remember, Bruce is "really just a nice guy"...HAPPY SHARK WEEK!

Summertime Radness - L*Space

Today's feature of summertime radness goes out to L*Space swim 

Ever since I saw the cutest bikini on Pinterest back in 2011 I'll always refer to them as the original fringe bikini company. I will never forget my first either..a beautiful purple iris colored bandeau fringe top and matching bottom. [both no longer available to purchase] Ever since then, my collection has grown immensely and each year, a new one [or 2] get added to my kini drawer.

This company seriously has the best social media team. They feature everyday girls on their Instagram daily and make it a point to interact with their followers regularly. I've had my pictures featured twice, and it really makes you feel like the ultimate mermaid when you read 'lspaceswim has posted a photo of you.' So grab one of these kini's and get grammin' girl!
