Recently here in California it has been warm enough to go swimming. We are still in Spring but it sure has felt like Summer these last couple weeks. Now that it is warm it is officially bikini season. This summer I will be rocking my new Sophina by Figleaves.

Figleaves.com offers 200+ designers of lingerie, swimwear, apparel, sleepwear and more! They have popular designers such as Vix and Aguaclara to private labels and exclusive items from brands like Midnight Grace, Just Peachy and the Figleaves label.

Normally I buy my bathing suits at the store so I can make sure that they fit. Figleaves ofers bra-sized swim separates to ensure a perfect fit for all body types. Their cup sizes rang from AA-GG with a variety of styles including one-piece swimsuits, bikinis and chic tankinis. I was so excited when I received by swimsuit and immediately tried it on. I was excited that my new Sophini fits perfect.

Most of the strings on the top of bikinis are NOT very supportive. Well at least the bathing suits that I have worn. I hate having to worry about my top falling off. I LOVE the straps on the Sophina. They are cute and provide great support for the top.

You can mix and match on the Figleaves website but I got the matching bottoms that look really cute with the top. They have a little slit on each side.

Have you bought a new bathing suit for the summer?

I am a mom that loves to cook from scratch. I remember years ago relying on frozen meals to feed my family because I didn’t know really how to cook. I knew how to make the basics like spaghetti and macaroni and cheese,  but over the years I have learned to make many delicious dishes for my family. I even took a baking class last year to learn to make pastries.

Even though this mom enjoys cooking there are nights when I still rely on frozen meals for a quick lunch or dinner my family will enjoy. We recently tried some NEW products from Old El Paso.

If you like making fajitas, the Old El Paso Steak & Steak Fajitas makes lunch or dinner super EASY. Just grab a bag, some tortillas and any condiments you like to add to your fajitas like sour cream, cheese, guacamole and sour cream!

The Old El Paso Steak Fajitas contain seasoned steak, roasted onions and bell peppers. For those looking to make just dinner for one or two, this is a great way to save money by not having to buy all these ingredients individually. It also saves time since everything is ready to go into the skillet straight from the bag.

For those that enjoy quesadillas over fajitas,  they also have the NEW Old El Paso Steak & Chicken Quesadillas you might wan to try!

I tried each of these products and enjoyed them both even though the steak was my favorite of the two. The Old El Paso Steak Quesadillas contain steak, onions, roasted bell peppers, poblano  peppers and cheese. These ingredients together make a delicious combo.

The Old El Paso Chicken Quesadillas contain white meat chicken, onions, roasted bell peppers, poblano peppers and cheese.

I added a little guacamole with my Old El Paso Steak Fajitas, what would you add?

I am very picky when it comes to shoes. At home I am usually always barefoot or I have my flip flops on. Shoes with high arches bother my feet and wearing socks unless its COLD never really sounds appealing. During the winter I like to slip on boots without socks. When it comes to sneakers though, I am usually against wearing them without socks until  now.

This month I was on a mission to find a pair of new Skyscape Runaround Walking Shoes by Reebok. I had seen they had more colors but since pink is my favorite color, I was determined on getting a pair in HOT PINK. I wanted to try a pair on first before I bought them because not all shoes run exactly the same size. I normally wear a size 8 shoe but sometimes have to buy an 8.5.  My local Kohl’s didn’t have the Skyscape so I went with ordering a pair online and  to be safe, I ordered them in 8.5.

When my order arrived I was anxious to try on my new pair of shoes. I tried them on at first with socks to make sure they were a good fit before I broke them in with my bare feet. They were very comfortable with socks but the real test was going to be when I put them on without my socks.

The Reebok Skyscape Runaround shoes are different from any shoes I have ever worn. They are lightweight at only 5 ounces, comfortable, cute and best of all,  they are WASHABLE. I am pretty good at keeping my new shoes clean but you can’t keep them clean forever. Now I haven’t had the chance to get them dirty enough to wash them yet, but I heard online that they come out of the wash mashing looking like new.

Here are the features of these cool shoes:

Next it was time to try them without the socks. As soon as I started to slip my foot into these shoes I knew I was going to really like them. Normally I don’t wear shoes without socks because the seams in the shoes will bug my picky toes. These shoes have a seamless construction that makes them non-irritating as well as foam material that makes you feel like you are stepping onto a pillow.

I love how these look with no socks in shorts, capris, skirts and they might even look cute with a dress. Now that I have my pink pair I want a pair in grey and black so that I have a pair to match with every outfit.
