Flashin' Skin

I finally bought my first set of Flash Tattoos this year, and boy oh boy are they addicting! So simple yet so rad. I could have a gold AND silver palm tree on at the same time or create any other combo I feel like. It's like being 4 again but this time they can last a week, which makes them 100x better. 

Have you flashed people lately?? I highly suggest you do...I promise you won't regret it.

Into The Blue - Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands (US and British) were unbelievably breathtaking. We woke up every morning to the most amazing views of St. Thomas from our room's balcony at Point Pleasant Resort. Swam in water everyday that felt like you were living in the water of a screen saver. Sipped rum punch, pain killers, and bushwackers daily. Basked in the rays of the beautiful sun. And even swam in torrential down pours that somehow still made the beaches and water perfectly beautiful. 

I can't wait to go back.

Thanks Santa

Santa clearly feeds my beach bum addiction. A few presents from Christmas that make me go all goo goo eyed [insert heart eyed emoji face].

Gift Guide for the All Season Lover

I love summer. I also love winter...to an extent. Fall is fun to play around with leather jackets, layers and chunky scarfs, while spring is the best time to break out new slip on kicks. But what do you do when your birthday is the same month as Christmas?! Behold, the December (that's me!) and winter baby problem. Bikinis are on my birthday/Christmas list EVERY year. Some may think it's odd...but when else would I be gifted one of my favorite (and not to mention expensive) bikinis?! It's torture I tell ya. So I compiled a list of some girly gift ideas to give to the all season lover this Christmas.

1. Acacia bikini -- This beauty is on my birthday list! It comes in white [Haupia Mesh] or black [Storm Mesh] with a cheeky or not so cheeky option for the bottom.

2. Snowboarding pipe gloves -- You can also sift through a bunch here and can look for regular gloves as well!

3. Felt Hat -- Great to use as a year round hat. I provided a few options from pricey to very affordable. I just purchased a camel colored one and I can't take it off my head I love it so much!

4. Plaid scarf -- Unlimited options and big, chunky ones can add the perfect touch to any outfit in any season.

5. Spring wetsuit -- I got one of these babies for Christmas last year and it's such a favorite. Billabong and a ton of other companies have endless options that can still show off some style [and booty]. I will note that zippers in the back are much more comfortable while surfing.

Happy Gifting!

Summertime Radness

I truly love all 4 seasons, but there is just something extra special about summer. It's most likely because I'm a bikini addict, and I finally get to dust off my old bikinis or finally put on the new one [or 5] that I ordered while I was snowed in back in February. I'm also a beach addict, [like you didn't already know that] so I love the feeling of sticking my feet in the warm sand, jumping into 70+ degree water, tanning, riding my bike to the beach...gosh the list of summer beach things could go on and on!

My summertime radness mainly refers to all the amazing bikinis that are out there! Some personal favorites: L*Space, Acacia, and Mikoh. I'm pretty active when it comes to beach life, so I like a stylish suit yet one that can stay put while jumping in the water or getting pummeled by a wave.

For the rest of the summer, I'm happy to announce that I will post about my favorite bikini companies and let you all know why they should be your faves too :)
