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.

Just Bones Boardwear™ As many of you know, I hosted a giveaway on Instagram with Just Bones Boardwear™ to spread the love for Valentine's Day. Since I am always showing off my Just Bones Boardwear™ bikinis we thought it would be a good opportunity to let the winner choose boardshorts or bikini.

Don't they both look like such ladies' men? Don't worry if you did not win the giveaway because you can still get 15% off o

Blue Coral Swimwear by Erik Jimenez I couldn't be more thrilled to announce the new collection by Blue Coral Swimwear! It was an honor to be one of the first to wear the new styles beautifully created at our photo-shoot one warm, winter day in sunny Miami, Florida. I also got to meet the super cute designer, who is sweet and very talented. It meant a lot to me that she was interested in hearing my opinion as to what women need and want to bring you guys the best swimwear styles, all of it "inspired by your beauty." You may remember my "Tiffany" black one-piece from previous posts and I always blog about good companies such as Blue Coral Swimwear. To my surprise, she even created and sewed one of my favorite tops the night before. That's talent! It is called the Farrah Halter Top and it comes in multiple colors. It's totally adorable with the little tie as you can see me modeling it here (and twirling around in it in one of Erik's vid
