Beach Ready Products

As the really hot summer weather is coming up soon curvy divas, your minds will drift off to vacation-time and seeing the ocean might be in your travel plans!  I love going to the beach. I sit on the sand, play with my daughter and run into the sea, a lot!  I also like walking on the sand where the waves will roll around my feet...hmmm, I can just imagine it now!

One of the things that I dislike about the beach however, is getting sand in my hair...yes, I know that's a given and I tolerate it if and when it happens.  I also don't like having dry salt water for too long on my skin because of the dryness & itch that ensues!

I was reading The Zoe Report on thezoereport.com and what perfect timing, Rachel featured some products that would be great to use for those Beach days!  She features a Bumble & Bumble Surf Creme Rinse Conditioner and Foam Wash Shampoo.  They are made with body-enhancing minerals and skin softening sea botanicals, sea fennel & kelp.

$24 & $25 at bumbleandbumble.com




She also mentions Marc Anthony True Professional Sea-waves shampoo!  This one is at a more price-conscious cost of $8!


Listed at drugstore.com for $7.99!



Rachel also recommended Kate Somerville Body Glow sunscreen!

$45 on Neiman Marcus.com


After the beach and showering you need a good lotion to repair your dry skin and any damages from the sun.  This wasn't mentioned in her beach article, however I found this one in another article link here: Spa repairing body butter!


Listed for $9.99 at dermstore.com




For me personally, having good moisturizing hair products and a good lotion are key to having a great beach day!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!
