Summer Essentials - My Top Picks!

Summer is in full swing!  You know summer is here when when you find yourself shopping for cute swimsuits, eating tropical fruits and hitting the beach and planning lots of outdoor activities with friends and family!  I'm a no fuss kinda girl!  So for me, it's essential to travel smart and look naturally put together in no time at all! Currently, my favorite bag is the weekend tote.  I've been carrying this tote for a while now and it's a great carryall bag to store all of my summer essentials.  It's a super lightweight bag made from 100% organic hemp and big enough to hold everything I need.... suncreen, towels, magazines, snacks, fins, you name it!

 I'm a island girl at heart, so summer just won't be summer without the promise of sun and surf. I've been making the time to go surfing this summer, so this amazing wetsuit from Roxy designed by Cynthia Rowland is on my wishlist!  I put together a list of my must-have summer essentials for all the sun goddesses out there.  Oh, the Maui Babe browning lotion is my secret to getting a sun-kissed tan fast!  Seriously, it's the best tanning lotion on the planet! The only thing that's missing is a beach towel, surfboard and maybe a mai tai!!   I do love transitional pieces!  I can hit the beach and quickly change into something effortlessly stylish.  The "all day long" pants from Billabong is so comfy! I could get away with wearing these to the mall or run my errands with a loose-fitting tank and flip flops.  Staying relaxed and carefree, isn't that what summer is all about?  Summer isn't over yet, so get out there and enjoy some fun in the sun!

HAPPY EARTH DAY: 10 Ridiculously Easy Ways to Help Save the Planet

Image
Mother Earth needs our help. We’re using too much fuel, chopping down too many trees and putting way too much garbage into landfills. But don’t think you have to install solar panels or go out and purchase a hybrid car to make a meaningful impact. It’s very easy to adopt an earth-friendly lifestyle without spending a dime. In fact, you’ll likely save money along the way. So in honor of Earth Day coming up (although we should really celebrate this great, vast planet every day) we’ve rounded up ten seriously simple ways to reduce your carbon footprint: 1. Watch your water consumption We all can get a bit careless when it comes to the water we use. Especially with small, everyday tasks like brushing our teeth. Turn off the tap rather than letting it run, try to cut back on shower time (even if it’s just by one minute) and only do laundry if you have a full load to wash. 2. Invest in a reusable mug/water bottle Carrying around a reusable mug/water bottle can curb...

Good Bye 2012 and hello 2013! This year, instead of making new year resolutions that I can't seem to keep, I've decided to stick to one single goal, which is be appreciative of the little things around me. That includes reminding myself to give thanks and think positive.  We all have so much to be thankful for.  For me, I am thankful for my health, having a supportive family and being able to wake up every morning and do what I love! To show my appreciation, I would like to kick off the fashionable year with our first giveaway!  I am happy to be giving away the Hannah crossbody (color gray)!

Do you own a couple of bags in your wardrobe? Most of the time, women possess at least two bags or more, depending on personal preferences. There are plenty of bag styles on the market, ranging from totes to clutches. But one real and rather fancy fashion investment is a designer leather bag. These bags exude style and sophistication. Aside from posh leather bags, there are also upcycled bags or those that are created from reclaimed yet usable materials like fabrics, plastics, and more.

Purchasing a new bag is very exciting, however taking care of one can be a challenge. The greatest enemy of bag owners is unwanted damage and natural wear and tear. How will you take care of your bags for them to last a little bit longer than expected? Well, this might be a tough job, especially if you don’t know the ins and outs of proper bag maintenance.
