"I love barre because it really tones your legs and your rear and that's essential for looking good in a swimsuit." 

"These bikinis are great for swimming or paddle boarding in the waves because the straps are adjustable and don't fall down." 


“I don’t care if I look like a raccoon from wearing them, it’s important to protect your eyes. I always go back to the old Wayfarer style from when Tom Cruise did Risky Business."

"Swimming in salt water can make you dehydrated. These bottles keep your water cold even when it’s really hot outside. ”

"I always pack this in my beach bag to keep my lips moisturized."

"I always wear a hat to the beach. You can get fancy with a cute straw one. I’m really into fedoras right now, but they don’t cover my face as much as I’d like, so I go for my old Yankees cap that I love.”
