Charming Shark Aloha! A recent trip to Hawaii required some beach jewelry actually formed in Hawaii by Charming Shark. I chose to represent Charming Shark every where I went and handed out jewelry to say "mahalo" to the locals. We explored Maui, The Big Island and Waikiki Beach. Charming Shark not only makes cute jewelry- it also spreads ocean awareness and donates to great causes such as, the Loggerhead Marine Life Center & AccesSurf. I wore my jewelry snorkeling with sea turtles, chasing waterfalls, whale watching and surfing. It has all held up so well, too! It's adjustable and mostly made of natural shells. Sometimes a great accessory can give you confidence at the beach. One of the things I loved about Hawaii was it's beautiful beaches with ocean animals always in sight. I also loved that they make Eco-friendly choices to protect the planet and preserve it's beauty. It was surely one of the best trips I've ever been on and we can'...

Welcome to Sicily! This was our backyard for a few days with beautiful views and beautiful beaches right at our fingertips. I wore my newest Island Mermaid Tribe reversible bikini to take a dip one evening and during the day I went exploring in my ever-so-popular yellow Seafolly. You can get this Seafolly at Bikini Company! While we were in Sicily, my family and I went on an absolutely amazing boat trip. We explored caves, snorkeled and fully experienced the Sicilian way. It's a colorful world out there and I was honored to wear my new colorful Just Bones Boardwear TM. You can get a discount on any JB swag using my code Paige15 at checkout.

Check out my friend Angela's YouTube video, featuring our trip to Sarasota and the JP Holahan Fashion Show, with special guest star "The Famous Foxy." It was such a great time and for a great cause! I also provided a list below that I wrote for the JP Holahan Swimwear Blog that I wanted to share with all of you on here so that you can get the swimwear confidence we had to walk in a fashion show! I just want my friends and family to feel the confidence I've gained for yourselves, too. Don't be afraid to strut your stuff ladies. Here's how: Love yourself - This is number one because it is the most important step. If you can’t see the good in yourself and love yourself, how can anyone else? They say if you are “confident” you can pull off anything and it tends to be true. Those who appreciate the great things about themselves are full of confidence and see the good rather than criticizing their weaknesses. It’s all about your mindset. Many women tel...

Jomie Bikini; Photographed and published in magazines by Tropical Photography No matter how cool, talented, rich or good-looking you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything.

          As stated by fashion designer Rachel Zoe, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." Jamie, the designer of Holahan Studio, showed the world his creative side by designing the most unique swimwear I've seen in a long time at his Fashion Show in Sarasota this past weekend. Each of the models showed their own personal style as they rocked their Holahan swimsuits down the runway with much success for this up and coming eco-friendly brand, which is made right here in the U.S.A.  If you've ever been in a fashion show or attended one, you know there is a lot more to it than just walking down the runway to show off the new styles. There were no "Divas" at this show, just a bunch of smart, talented and supportive people coming together for a good cause and some fun fashion! Much planning was put into making this charity event a success and it's great to see all of the hard work pay off in the end. I've always been ...

Hakunawear Cloud 9 One Piece & Body Glove Inflatable Surfboard created by Surf 9 Co. with photography by Jeff Jafay The Japanese proverb, "One kind word can warm three winter months" rings true to me as the weather has not been in my favor lately. It has been cold and rainy...not a happy camper. But, a few kind words got me out on the beach to try my new inflatable surfboard and it turned my frown right upside down. I had a blast despite the weather and wave conditions. My Hakunawear Cloud 9 one piece is made of geoprene. It is an eco-friendly alternative to neoprene so, this was the perfect suit to wear in the cold waters and for surfing. It not only kept me warm but it also held everything in. I was able to have fun and focus on the task at hand rather than worry about adjusting my swimsuit. It also has a little pocket in the back to keep my chapstick safe. I highly recommend this suit and can offer a discount code at checkout for you: SWIMINSPO20. Hakunawear ...

Body Glove Paddle Board by Surf 9 LLC / Just Bones Boardwear TM Bikini / Just A Blink Photography by Joleen What is your favorite way to start the day? For me, there couldn't be anything better than to wake up early and go paddle boarding with my dog. A typical visit to the Orlando Surf Expo made my dreams come true when I walked away with an inflatable paddle board and surf board by Body Glove. That's right, I said "inflatable!" I have a small 2-seater and I can easily fit them in the trunk or passenger seat. Then, I can inflate them when I get to my location. Absolutely perfect! My boards arrived at my home in boxes with a guide book and all the necessary accessories (see photos below.) I always borrow, rent or share boards but I have never actually owned one so, to me this was like Christmas morning! Everything was labeled and easy to understand. It all fits nicely in bags with handles and straps to carry it all around. The boards roll up...
