A Mother’s View from the Pool—Bikinis on Babies?

Have you been to your local community pool this summer? It has been the hang out of choice for my preschooler, who finally learned how to tread water on her own (well, kind of). Our near daily visits to our county’s aquatic center have not only afforded my daughter the opportunity to learn how to swim, but it has served as inspiration for quite a few of my blogs. The city pool is the perfect place to people watch. You see a variety of people and just as many different parenting styles, techniques and problems. And then there are the … Continue reading →

The Brazilian Bikini Body Program: 30 Days to a Sexier Body and Mind

Posted on by

This book was recently released by Regina Joseph and, for those of you looking for a change of pace in the diet arena, this is it. This is a guide to losing weight Brazilian style. While it may sound like a great adventure for many of us to embark upon, especially in North America where it is getting colder every day and the snow clouds are winding up in time for Christmas. At the heart of Ms. Joseph’s system is a philosophy of getting around the same old stale diet and exercise that conventional wisdom touts and incorporating some fire … Continue reading →

High Tech Bikini

File this under the “What They Won’t Think Of Next” category. A Canadian company has designed a new bikini that is able to tell wearers when it’s time to head to the shade. I’m well aware of what century we live in and the fact that practically everything on the market nowadays has gone high-tech, but an electronic bikini? It’s true. A Canadian company named Solestrom has created a bikini with a UV meter built into its belt. When the meter records high levels of UV rays a built-in alarm sounds warning the wearer to get out of the sun. … Continue reading →

Style Watch: The Brazilian Bikini

How much do you know about the famous Brazilian bikini? Take a stroll on an area beach this summer and you may find yourself getting a crash course. Or, you can simply open any celebrity or fashion magazine and see what the hype is all about. During the summer months these magazines are filled with page after page of well-tanned, well-toned actresses/singers/models from Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria to hotel-heiress, Paris Hilton; frolicking with their beaus-of-the-week in what is being called the must-have item of the season. While wishful thinking beach gawkers might still associate the Brazilian bikini with a dental … Continue reading →

Bathing Suit Brouhaha

First, it was the guy who got ticketed for wearing a Speedo at a beach (of all places). Now, city leaders in Kanab, Utah (the community sits just north of the Arizona state line) are banning bikinis at area pools. Perhaps it would be best if we all just tanned in our own backyards from now on. Actually, the ban on bikinis at Kanab’s municipal pool has been around for a while… long enough for two-piece swimsuit fans to raise a stink strong enough for city leaders to reconsider the prohibition on the popular pool attire. The city council member … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri: Fashion Disaster and Cable Gets Cut

This sue happy world just gets more ridiculous by the minute… If you tuned into NBC’s “Today” show yesterday you likely know where I’m going with this blog. A woman in California who apparently loves (or perhaps more accurately lovED) Victoria’s Secret has filed a lawsuit with the lucrative lingerie company after she claims a faulty staple linking a jeweled-heart embellishment to a pair of her thong underwear seriously injured her eye. According to Marcrida Patterson, she suffered permanent damage to her cornea after an allegedly defective “low-rise v-string” (part of Victoria’s Secret’s “Sexy Little Thing” line) flew apart and … Continue reading →

Fashion Forward: Doggie Sunglasses and Other Must-Have Items for the Beach

Fashionable pet owners who want to have their dogs look as cool at the pool as they do might want to include a pair of Doggles in their beach bags this summer. The name is almost as cute (and effective) as the product. Doggles are protective goggles for dogs of all shapes and sizes. They have been around since 1997 and sell for about $30. The idea for the protective and stylish sunglasses for dogs came from a pet owner whose own pooch kept missing the Frisbee during games of catch on bright sunny days. What started off as a … Continue reading →

Packing the Ultimate Beach Bag

My ultimate beach bag would be light as a feather no matter how much stuff I crammed into it. And believe me, with all the junk my young daughter requires we drag to the beach my bag anything but light. If you are planning a trip to the sand and surf this summer there is a way to get there is a way to do so fashionably and perhaps more importantly, without breaking your back in the process. First and foremost you need the right bag. If you are traveling with kids you need something durable, stain-resistant and easy to … Continue reading →

Can You Get Ticketed for Wearing a Speedo in Public?

You can if your name is Bob Hezzelwood. The 61-year-old Florida man was ticketed by a sheriff’s deputy for wearing a Speedo bathing suit at the beach– and now he’s suing the sheriff’s department. Hezzelwood said he has been visiting Bonita Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida for nearly a decade in his Speedo and no one has confronted him or complained about his appearance. At least not to his face. However, that all changed when a local sheriff’s deputy issued Hezzelwood a ticket for trespassing and told him not to return to the beach. That was a year ago. A … Continue reading →

Celebrity Fashion Trends–Would You Wear It?

I will be the first to admit that I am no fashion expert. But, it doesn’t stop me from commenting on what other people are wearing. Not so much the people I see on the street or in the mall; I usually reserve my critiques for trend setting celebrities who are prominently featured in popular fashion and entertainment magazines. (I find it’s safer for me to pick apart someone’s outfit when they are out of earshot.) I just picked up a magazine, which provided a list of the latest summer fashion trends. I was stunned to see what made “the … Continue reading →
