Although I hate the beach, my husband requested that we go to the beach when he comes back home. It will also be our daughter's first time in the water. So, of course, I am willing to make an exception. With that I decided to go shopping for some surf shorts. After giving birth, my stretchmarks on my upper thighs got worst. They have made me very self-conscious so the surf shorts will help me to hide them.
NEX was having a 30% off sale on their swimwear so I picked this up for myself and my hubby. I wanted to buy my daughter a bathing suit but I didn't see anything that would fit her. Overall I saved about $15.
For someone who hates the beach, I actually have a few bathing suits. Most were both at Ross (similar to the mainland's TJ Maxx) because their prices are very affordable! My favorite are the two pink suits.
Have you gone to the beach this summer? What's your favorite bikini/bathing suit?
Thanks for reading,
Dinah

I grew up there, but I hate sand :D
I've always wanted a monokini like the brown one you have there. I am totally ready for the beach! My family has a house in Florida and I'll be going in about a week and a half - I'm so excited :)

No way, I hate the beach too. I hate getting dark also and I get bored of the water after a few minutes LOL! And I think it's funny how brother wants to spend more time in the water when he's always in a boat.
I can't wait for winter to be over here in Australia!
Kisses, Melanie
OMG! I love going to the beach, I detest sunburn, though. Why don't you use a really good sunblock like the Armada Sport from VMV? =)
you are so lucky to live in Hawaii I wish I could be you!

LOL...I LOVE ROSS!!! But I'm with yeah, I hardly go to the beach too. I hate getting a tan, only because I hate having to change foundation oh and the horrible tan lines =/ lol but I totally can relate to staying only in shallow waters....I hate not bein able to touch the bottom!
Oh cool! Are you on the mainland now? Lol. How come you didn't like the sand?
OH! Is that what it's called?! Lol. I didn't know that. I really liked it..until I got into the water and tried to do my version of "swimming". If I wasn't in the water I would've flashed everyone. >.<
Haha! I can't believe how much we have in common! When/If I do go beach I load up on the sunblock. Or I just stay in the water/sun for 10 minutes and I'm outs. Haha. But yeah...I guess Chris just really miss our beaches. SD is too chilly to go to the beach and it doesn't look as clean. =X
Winter? Are your seasons opposite from ours? Lol. Sorry, I don't know.
OH! I should try that. Thanks. I just work so hard and long to keep my skin fair, but it could take 30 minutes in the sun to tan. =( Lol.
Aww, haha. Where do you live, hun?
Lol. I blame my parents for not teaching me how to swim.
Thank hun! Great blog. I'm now following you. =)
Omg, yes. I hate tan lines. >.< Haha, can you swim?
Seriously, Ross is one of my best friends :) And I love the NEX! Too bad I don't have access to it but whenever I do, I always do a little shopping! Love the suits!
your bathing suits are so cute! :D i went to the beach this summer but it's already rainy season in my country. :/
My favorite bikini is my black one,it covers my belly. I've never liked showing my body,even when I was size 0. So now with my post baby body,I really don't want anyone staring at me.lol
I looove Ross!! I'm allergic to the sun but of course H still drags me to the beach! You could always get a sexy little wrap instead of shorts, you're in Hawaii it will look exotic.;) Sorry to hear you had a near drowning experience.:(( *hugs*
I can't swim either! Lollll.
haha I love going to the beach with my boyfriend and just lay down and hug :D

For someone who does not care soo much for the beach, your swimsuit pieces are great! I love the orange and pink/white and black combo! I love the beach and so yes, this summer I had to go to the beach with my pals, an all girl trip! It was one of our best times ever! -Mar

hope you have a great time
<3 BB
*lol* bloody murder, that's funny!
See even the worst things in life can have a good side! (I am hinting at the shopping... :-))
I don't like going to the beach too...I hate places that have direct sunlight...I even bring my umbrella everywhere that's why other calls me vampire hihihi. I think the last time I went to the beach was 4 years ago...yeah that long. :X
lol don't laugh, but I'm just figuring out that you could reply with Disqus!!! But now I can't swim...I can float though!
dude, I'm the exact same. I can float but yet I can't swim.. LOL
Aww, haha. You don't have any girl friends with a military id? Once I got my id I'll always take my girls. Lol.
Thanks hun! I have yet to go to the beach this summer.. Lol. Hopefully I will by next week
Awww! What size are you now with your post baby body, if you don't mind me asking? I'm self-conscious about my body too after giving birth. =\ I doubt I'll wear a bikini. If I do I'll probably put a cami over me.
You're allergic to the sun?? =( I'm sorry to hear. And thanks for the hug. Lol.
Lol! Woot. We're cool like that.
Haha, yeah, I live near the beach too but I never go unless my friends really wants me to.
Haha, thanks hun. Yeah...I only have a lot of bathing suits so I look cute at the beach but never really swam in them. LOL!
Thanks hun. I liked the one piece too but once I tried to swim in it one of my "girls" popped out. O.o Good thing I was in the water. LOL.
LOL
Haha, nice! I use to walk around with an umbrella even when it was just sunny outside. I hate getting darker. >.<
