Recently, I had the opportunity to try some a bunch of sunglasses from a new-to-me brand called, Neven. Stylish, UV Ready and Polarized. All things we look for in a pair of sunglasses.
As I stated previously, Neven Eyewear is a new-to-me brand, but so far I’ve been absolutely loving the different styles, lens colors and frames that I’ve been able to try. Check out my YouTube short for a quick run down on my thoughts.

Have you ever tried Hemp Underwear before? Well, I have used a variety of different hemp products, but none of which has been underwear. Needless to say, when…
The boys are back to school and I figured it would be a perfect time to clean out my very very full and packed purse. Are you anything like me where you stuff your bag (or bags) full of stuff and then when you clean it out, it’s a hot mess? Well, that was me, with my two purses… literally – a HOT MESS! So, hang out with me as I clean through my bags and show you what I carry in them. I’m hoping that with the boys back to their grind, that their mommy (that’s me) can also get it together too.
Check out the video where I share with you what’s inside of my purse as well as a little review of a two-piece swimsuit I got from Swimspot.com.
Who and What is SwimSpot?
SwimSpot is a swim and resort wear company that was built around family heritage, quality, and style. It was born on the beaches of Southern California over 50 years ago. Marta was frustrated with poor fitting swimwear that was available in the market and decided she would create her own product. In partnership with her husband, the two built a house of swim, focused on the idea of the perfect fit. Their legacy continued through their daughter Lisa who expanded the portfolio offering a variety of innovative designs, luxurious fabrications, and quality products.
SwimSpot offers a variety of signature styles that include: classic, sophisticated and timeless pieces. While trends come and go, the perfect fitting suit shouldn’t. Without sacrificing the fit – they are able to provide many different swimsuits for many sizes and shapes.
Why Do I Think SwimSpot is So Unique?
What makes SwimSpot so unique to me is that as a plus-size woman, I know all-to-well how difficult it is to find the perfect fit or at least the perfect support for my body type and shape. I fell in love with the styles they offered on their website and the quality of each garment I received felt really nice against my skin.

How Does the SwimSpot Swimsuit Fit?
As many of you have followed my weight-loss journey over the last four years, you may have seen me lose and then gain weight. I blame Covid-19 for contributing to the weight gain, but I digress. Overall, the two pieces fit a bit differently, but not by much so I’ll get into detail outlining that for you.
Amora Blouson Bandini Top
Let me start with the top and the fit. I have the Amora Blouson Bandini Top in Green ($64). This gorgeous bandeau bandini top drapes really nicely and helps hide my tummy area. It has removable soft cups that offer a little protection against nipple display and has such a soft feel against the skin. Tankini style, this can be worn strapless if that is feasible for you or with the included strap to wear around the neck. I would say this top is extremely forgiving and since it has an adjustable hidden shelf bra, it can be used comfortably without any problem. I am a size 38 F (or Triple D) and felt like this top gave me pretty good support, but I did need to use the detachable strap because without an underwire, it did not hold my girls up and in place otherwise.
Size-wise, the Amora Blouson Bandini Top runs a little on the large side. I ordered it in a 12 since I read the reviews and product information prior to ordering. I assumed that by sizing down, it would fit. But, I had the top adjusted to the smallest notch on the band and it was still too big for me. I would at least order one size down if possible but keep in mind if you are larger breasted as I am, you may not have the structure to hold your boobs in place without the strap.
Bella High-Waisted Pant with Tummy Control
The Bella High-Waisted Pant with Tummy Control ($54) is one of Athena’s best-selling bikini bottoms and the most versatile pant in the collection. It features a shirred high waist pant that can sit at the belly button or can be adjusted to roll down to sit on the hips. You decide on the coverage and how you want to wear it. You can mix and match this bottom with a top of your choice and it’s not only comfortable, but like the top, it also feels great on the skin.
The sizing for this bottom is pretty true to the number and it offers moderate rear coverage, which is a plus for me. Did I mention that it was comfortable? I ordered a size 14 for this bottom and it fit me perfectly.
If you’re on the hunt for a new swim outfit, I highly suggest heading on over to SwimSpot.com to check out their selection. Between a variety of new arrivals, many different styles to choose from, and a selection of coverups and shorts, you can’t go wrong. The styles are perfect for anyone and I’m pretty positive you can find something that you’ll not only enjoy, but you’ll love.

My favorite part about Spring and Summer months is that I can really embrace the casual, cool and fun outfits that come along with the seasons. Today I wanted to share with all of you a quick Outfit of the Day (ootd). This is a casual outfit of the day for spring and summer. We all know I’m about that casual life. lol So if you’re interested in the details of this outfit, keep on reading.
The Outfit Details
My jumpsuit is from a local island chain called Jeans Warehouse. It’s a cute strapless jumpsuit with drawstring details around the waste. It has a black base with small florals throughout. My sandals are super comfy and easy to throw on, they are Tubular Faux-Suede Sandals from Old Navy.
The Accessories
My sunglasses are from Coach and are called the Horse & Carriage Style. My bracelets were gifts from my husband and my parents. The gold being a Hawaiian Heirloom plumeria bangle and my green jade. I am wearing one of my Invicta watches – the Angel Divers analog two-tone watch. My necklace is the usual gold chain that I use often (a gift from my Grandma Young). It is paired with a gorgeous three-tiered Edison pearl necklace from Nagasako Designs. I’ve written about Nagasako Designs before, which you can read about here.
The Video
You can also check out the video of this outfit that includes all the details.
My super simple and easy casual outfit of the day is basically inspired by the warm weather we experience here in Hawaii. This past winter has taken us all by surprise, but I’m enjoying Spring and excited for Summer months. You can’t go wrong with wearing something that’s cool and breathable, airy and comfy.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Pacific BioDiesel for adding a little sunshine to Maui with their beautiful sunflower fields. If you want to learn more about them as well as their sister company – Kuleana Beauty, I have written about them here before.
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to watch my video or read my post on my casual outfit of the day for spring and summer. I haven’t been doing these kinds of posts or videos as often as I once did because I’ve been pretty busy, but my plan is to do them more.
