How to Get a Swimsuit You Love

For a limited time, Custom Swimwear by Exelnt Design through Your True Self Blog is offering $10 off when you buy a swimsuit using discount code YTS10 in store or online.

My friend, Mary, sends me letters in the mail from time to time.  After a recent visit, she sent a note with a $10 off coupon for Custom Swimwear by Exelnt Design.  She wrote:

“Enclosed is a card from the people who made my beloved swimsuit.  Very likely you already know about them but if not I am pleased to highly recommend them.  I never wear out my swimsuit unfortunately so I don’t need another one…but it gives better strategic fig leaf coverage that store-bought swimsuits often don’t.  People who would like styled suits with desired coverage will like these suits.”

As you can see from this note, age doesn’t matter.  If you need or want coverage in a swimsuit, this place will deliver it.  I’ve never done business with this company, but based on Mary’s note I thought it would be nice to share this with you, my readers.  🙂

I discovered that you can buy one of these swimsuits ready-made in-store or online; or you can order one in the style, fit and fabric of your choosing.  They make the swimsuits right in the store.  They are made to lift, pad, tuck and please your particular sense of style.  They offer free fittings.

How Your Friends Make It Easy to be Healthy: Sleep & Swim

This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month.  Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.

The buddy system is one of the main ways to get motivated. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it.  Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.  

Age doesn’t matter.  It’s never too late.  You can always make progress and even reverse the signs of aging!

Last month, Chris’s goal was to catch up on sleep and take a vacation to a sunny place.  My goal was to swim once a week, and if the weather got in the way, I was to swim indoors or on an extra day when it was sunny again.  Here’s how we did: Continue Reading

The 4 Best Sunscreens Tested as Safe and Effective

I was recently contacted by Reviews.com about their latest tests to find the best sunscreens.  I am not being compensated for this post, but if you purchase anything through links on this page I may receive a small percentage (enough to boost my spirits!)  The bottom line is that I am sharing with you which sunscreens are the best for various purposes, such as:

  • Best Coverage
  • Best for Sensitive Skin
  • Best for Face, and
  • Best for Physical Activity.

Age doesn’t matter.  We all want to get the best for our money.  So it’s nice to have access to the results of products tested for the best, and to check reviews before buying.

We also need the sun for vitamin D.  But it’s important to make sure we’re not overdoing it, so protection against too much sun is important for balance.

I especially love this review because the winning products are safe for sensitive skin, and contain natural and organic ingredients.

After researching 135 sunscreens, Reviews.com tested 20 products for coverage and skin feel and found four favorites.

So without further ado, here are the winners:

Tip of the Day: How to Style a Printed Top

Printed Top from Creation L + aqua pants + aqua shoes

Starting with this post, I am introducing a new category on my blog called “Style Tips.”  Today’s tip is a basic way to style any printed top.  Age doesn’t matter.  This styling tip shows you a classic way that anyone can create an outfit with a printed top.

You could just wear blue jeans with a printed top, since jeans go with everything.  Same thing goes for wearing a neutral color that isn’t in the print, such as  all black, all white, all gray, all navy, or even all khaki with your printed top.  Or you could wear mixed neutrals.  If you go that route, start with a neutral color that is in the top and then tone everything else to the neutral that you chose.

But the focus of today’s tip is to pull a single shade from your printed top and match it to everything else.  Your top could be anything, including a tunic or jacket.  Choose your bottoms, shoes, jewelry and purse in the one shade that you pulled from the print.  You might want to add a scarf in a different color, though.  That’s okay; go ahead!  Now how does it look?  Let’s see.
