Tips for a Better You: I Love Swimming

I love to swim! I have since I was a child, but as I have gotten older I have realized I really don't like bathing suits.. I'm sure there are a lot of women out there not looking forward to bathing suit season.. But you know what is great about bathing suit season that we can look forward to??? Everything else we need.. Cover-ups, shades, hats, sandals, beach totes.. Think of the possibilities.. We don't ever have to be seen in a swim suit, but we can be gorgeous in everything else. I know it is a little early, but it can be your greatest opportunity to be so stylish in a very inexpensive way.. You have to be creative in your search for everything fabulous. The best part of swimwear is the cover-up. It can be any type of dress that is cool, fun, and fashionable. Treat it like another great outfit in your closet..

Don't be afraid of wearing a hat.. Hats are so stylish and the bigger the better.. Not only will you be so chic, but you will also be protective of your greatest investment your FACE.. I love the sun, but I don't want wrinkles..

When accessorizing with jewelry you may want to find the beads that do not have any type of metal on them. That way you won't have a funny color left on your skin from getting wet and you won't be worried about ruining the jewelry. You also can use real gold if you can afford it or have it.

Have fun with colors.. This is the time to try bold and beautiful. You will probably be slightly tan and your skin can handle a more vibrant look. That goes for your make-up as well. Tropical is the way to go..

What will you need in your beach tote.. there are some necessities.. You'll need a great sunscreen. Mary Kay has a great 30SPF.. You can tan a little without burning. You'll need a great tinted lip balm with SPF in it.. Natural, Blush, Poppy or Rose.. Keep your lips protected from the sun, but keep you looking fab(which can be used on your lips and cheeks so if you have to run for lunch you'll still look your cute self). A great book is always a must for your tote.. Unless you are like me and have to keep 2 eyes on three kids and a husband, and of course water and snacks (for either yourself or your hungry and thirsty kids).

Now you can go from pool to dinner in your adorable tropical ensemble. Start checking the racks now for that cute sundress/cover-up. It is amazing what you can find on sale even before summer. Good luck!
