Hakuna Wear Swimwear and iRocker Paddleboard
by Michael Flores Photography

Do you remember the song from Disney's "The Lion King"? As Timon and Pumbaa would say, "Hakuna Matata! It means no worries." I always loved that song and what it represents about life. I'm guessing Jessica, the designer of Hakuna Wear, did too. She's an adorable, sweet surfer girl that wanted us to have no worries when surfing (and even while simply wearing a swimsuit.) She's a beauty with brains and used her chemistry PhD to bring us the best swimsuit fabrics out there!

I had the opportunity to meet Jessica in Miami, Florida where these photos were taken. She lives and surfs in California, where the Hakuna Wear swimsuits are made. She brought us sustainable swimwear where we can be free to be ourselves. Our vibes couldn't be more in sync, especially since that's what my swimwear inspiration blog is all about. I felt very comfortable in my high-waist bottoms and sporty top. I could focus on what I wanted to do, like surfing on an inflatable paddle board for the first time, and not worry about what my stomach looked like. I also was able to put my essentials in my hidden back pocket. Other styles even adjust for when you are surfing and need to tighten your bottoms up a little bit.

I can't wait to try out my new Cloud 9 one-piece, the original Hakuna Wear design. It arrived in eco-responsible packaging and is probably one of the most amazing suits I own. It's a sleek and sexy black onsie with details and cut outs. It has a hidden back pocket too, of course. The material feels so smooth and the fit is excellent. I'm sure I will have no worries when wearing it to catch some waves. The Cloud 9 one-piece and most of the suits are made responsibly from a limestone neoprene called "geoprene." Not only is it less dense than oil-based neoprene but it is also warmer, lighter, durable and stretches better. It also requires less toxic chemicals during it's production process. Some of the other eco friendly Hakuna swimwear fabrics are made from recycled plastic bottles and have UPF 50+ protection. The tropical prints reverse to solid colors for a new look along with mix-and-matching. What a lovely surprise to find out that the Hakuna Wear tags are embedded with wildflower seeds with directions to add water and create your own rainbow, just like the suit attached. I love it!

Hakuna Wear is functional, sustainable and stylish for both men and women. With Hakuna Wear, men and women all over the world can feel comfortable and enjoy time in an ocean free of plastic. We encourage you to "be free to be you!

My Oasis...the Inflatable Paddle Board by Body Glove!

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

BEST. SWIMSUIT. EVER.

Petflair Swimsuit & Photography by Lety Remior When one of my friends told me he had heard about a company that let's you put a picture of your dog on your swimsuit (and knew it would be right up my alley of course), I went straight to my lap top and began searching for it. It didn't take long as the crowd-funding buzz had started to make it's way around the internet. I found the website and had a look for myself. This fabulous company is from Australia and called Petflair. Am I the only one who goes straight to the "about us" section or do you do that too? It helped me to see that this was a company I wanted to support because not only is it a great story with a unique idea but Petflair donates 25% of it's profits to Pound Paws (a charity for abandoned pets.) I decided I needed to find out more about the making of swimsuits with our pets. These babies are $99, which is reasonable, especially for a customized suit with your dog! However,

Embrace Diversity

It's time to embrace others... and embrace who you are. We are all different so, we shouldn't be expected to wear the same style swimsuits. You should pick out swimwear that makes you happy and comfortable. Strong women support each other and we shouldn't judge each other by what's on the outside. If you got it, flaunt it. If you want to cover something up, go for it. Show off your best asset (and don't say you don't have one because you do!) There are many styles to chose from: bra-tops, triangle tops, tankinis, swim skirts, swim shorts, cheeky, etc. Focus on your concerns, enhance your good qualities and keep a positive body image. I'd like to thank my beautiful family for taking these photos with me and for being wonderful, supportive women.

Live a Luminous Life

Luminous Sol Swimwear The logo is luminous. The bikinis are luminous. The vibes are luminous. The owner has the most wonderful, positive energy about her and her kindness shines bright. You too can let your light shine with this new, radiant swimwear brand called Luminous Sol. I'm wearing the Ella top in a blush palm print that reverses to a lovely lilac color. Both are sensational colors on the skin! When you reverse the suit to the lilac side, the strings are still the pink palm print and it looks like heaven together. The fit and feel is excellent with an adjustable lace-up back. One of the things I loved most about it is that there was no padding, which made it look and feel smooth (along with a quick dry-time.) We are going to give away the sliding-triangle Anya top in the above sunset photo to one lucky winner on Instagram so, be sure to follow us, @foxyandpaige and @luminoussolswimwear, to be entered into the drawing . I just love my bottoms because they ar

Warning: This may shock you!

Becca by Rebecca Virtue One pieces are back and better than ever. They are naturally flattering and super slimming. The right pattern/design can enhance or downplay areas, while holding everything in. Teenagers, mothers and women of all ages are following the trend. And, you don't even have to be part of the skinny b's club. I’ve seen the Becca one-piece in this photo on all sizes and it looks good! It's also available in black, white and blue. It's a "plunge" that is tastefully see-through with a low back. Some brands cover less ( like Billabong, L*Space, Ale and Vitamin A ) and some cover more. Wear one with shorts and you'll have a body suit too. What's the harm in trying some on? I bet you'll get many compliments. Shop for one piece swimwear at Surfshop (click here)
