Sexy Cabana Gear: 10 Swim Wear Accessories that Make You Shine
After you've found that perfect suit…the one that makes you feel young and radiant and ready to hit the beach – well, then comes the time to find the perfect accessories and skin care products to go with it. And why not? Every gal knows you can never have too many of either of those things.
Whether you're looking for a beach tote, beauty product, or other type of accessory, this article is for you. Listen up, because we've got a list of the top 10 swimwear accessories that will make you shine during this beach season:
Beach Essential #1: Sunblock
First and foremost, let's make sure your beautiful skin is taken care of. No matter how long you plan to stay in the sun, buy a sunblock with an SPF rating of 40 or higher. Apply it at least 20 minutes before getting wet…and don't forget to reapply every couple hours throughout the day.
Beach Essential #2: SPF lip shine
Don't forget lip gloss when heading out to the beach…your pretty pucker will thank you later. Choose a gloss with at least a 15 SPF rating to give your lips a touch of color and help nourish dry lips during a long day near the water.
Beach Essential #3: Protein bar
Many times, pools and beaches only sell snacks that are high in fat or sugar content. Instead, be sure to throw a couple protein bars in your beach tote for a healthy snack that can keep you going throughout the day.
Beach Essential #4: Sarong
A sarong is not only a stylish addition to your swimsuit, but can also help you hide problem areas and is just a nice thing to have if you plan to walk around during the day. Choose a sarong made of light material that you can drape around your waist and wear comfortably throughout the day.
Beach Essential #5: Body spray
Keep yourself smelling great throughout the day by bringing along a pocket-sized body spray. It'll leave you smelling fresh and feeling good.
Beach Essential #6: Sun dress
You never know when your day at the beach will turn into a night on the town. For cases like this, be sure to have a lightweight sundress that you can throw on over your suit and look great for a night out with girlfriends.
Beach Essential #7: Self-tanning mist
Give your body a little extra color and shine with self-tanning mist. For best results, spray a light coat on the inside of your arm and a full coat along the outside. It'll give your skin a stunning tone and an illusion of leanness.
Beach Essential #8: Flip-flops
No one likes getting sand in their shoes – so be sure to bring along a pair of cute flip-flops. They're easy to stow in a beach bag and can be slipped on at a moment's notice. And, if you don't want to spend a lot, head to Target or Old Navy where you can usually pick up a pair for just a few dollars.
Beach Essential #9: Hair pick and revitalizing spray
Your skin isn't the only thing that can get scorched by the sun, so be sure to pick up a small bottle of revitalizing hair mist. You can find this in several brands at your favorite department store. After combing out your hair, spray on the lightweight mist to hydrate your hair and give it a stunning sheen.
Beach Essential #10: Beach tote
With all of these must-have accessories, you better have a stylish place to put them! Don't drag your purse to the beach – instead, buy a bold patterned tote with lots of pockets to store your money and cosmetics…and make sure it has enough room to stow a towel.
Next time you head out to the beach, don't leave home without these 10 beach accessories! They can help make for a great day out in the sun.

What do you think are the best blog giveaways?
Do you like Rafflecopter the best?
I know I have really been liking entering the Rafflecopter ones! There is a blog I have been entering a couple giveaways on and it drives me crazy because it is wordpress and just comments for entries! Not only do I hate commenting 20 times, but it bugs to have to wait for what seems like forever in between each comment! The only reason I have entered the giveaways is a lot of them had LOW LOW entries - but I assume that is why, it takes so much time (plus I didn't win any of them - so I feel like I wasted FOREVER) where as Rafflecopter takes 30 seconds so even if you don't win it's no biggie! What do you think?
What entry methods do you hate? Which do you love?
I use to have people sign up for email/RSS, etc. for every giveaway but have kind of moved away from that. I figured if you like my content you will want to be updated on it and will sign up anyways! I hate having 5 million different blogs email me everyday.... what do you think, do you mind signing up for emails? Is it okay as long as it is an optional entry and not mandatory? What entry methods are your favorite and least favorite? Is there anything that drives you away from even entering the giveaway?
Well let me know what you think! What things make you more likely to enter a giveaway and what things will drive you away from one! Help me to make my giveaways easier and funner for all of you!

They have the most adorable stuff and for GREAT prices! Here is their price list.
Have you heard of Green smoothies? Maybe the Green Smoothie girl? Well I went to one of her seminars and it was great! I decided for this pregnancy this will help me with a healthy diet. I am horrible about eating breakfast, and really lunch for that matter..... but drinking green smoothies is no problem!
I experimented with my first few green smoothies and we had some great ones, and some dump down the drain ones. Then I found Robyn's (The Green Smoothie Girl) recipe that she usually uses! Here it is (I cut my recipe in half because I have a smaller blender).
Makes 8 cups of 100% raw smoothie.
Put 2 1/2 cups filtered water in the BlendTec Total Blender.
Optionally, add:
½ tsp. stevia (herbal sweetener) or ¼ cup raw, organic agave nectar (low glycemic index)
¼ whole lemon, including peel (anti-skin cancer, high in flavanoids)
2-3 Tbsp. fresh, refrigerated flax oil (omega-3 rich oil)
Gradually add greens until, briefly pureed, the mixture comes up the 5-cup line (or less if you are “converting”):
¾ to 1 lb. raw, washed greens, added up to 5 ½ cup line:
spinach, chard, kale, collards
Puree greens mixture for 90 seconds until very smooth.
Gradually add fruit until the container is very full, blend 90 seconds or until smooth:
1-2 bananas
1-2 cups frozen mixed berries
any other fruit to taste: pears, peaches, apples, oranges, apricots, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple
You can view this recipe on her blog here: Green Smoothie Recipe
OH and take it easy on the lemon - a little (and I mean very little) goes a long ways! For mine I use a tad less lemon than called for, spinach and collards for the greens, bananas, and frozen berries - sometimes I add the Agave nectar but not always!
Let me know if you try this out and what you think!
