Care for Your Kini

Posted on December 29, 2019March 19, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

Bikini Season never ends in Florida, and I live by the mantra “Life is too short for cheap bikinis.” Since swimwear tends to be my Florida uniform, I usually opt for buying quality swimwear instead of cheap, fast-fashion bikinis. It is worth the price for luxury swimwear, I notice the difference in quality, construction and […]

Saving Face at Bella Reina

Posted on February 6, 2019February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell

I turned 32 a week ago, and as I work my way well into my third decade I’m trying to fight off the aging process in the most graceful ways. I’ve been trying to save face as my mug has some battle wounds from my sun worshiping Florida lifestyle. On my birthday, I was treated […]

I scored a pair of Nectar sunglasses, and aside from Nectar being a great brand with the mission to repopulate bees, it replaced a very shady product that I had been using. I hate to be a buzz kill, but I’m about to convince you to retire your Ray Bans and switch to The Sweet […]

COOLA, Calm + Protected

Posted on February 6, 2018February 13, 2020 by Mandy Mizell
