     One of our favorite spots on Daufuskie Island: the Silver Dew Winery at Bloody Point. You can stop in the Bloody Point Lighthouse Museum & taste 2 wines: Scuppernong & Scuppernong Blush. They are both sweet & best served chilled or even over ice. While at the museum you can learn the history of Bloody Point, browse the gift shop & take a stroll through the gardens. Besides the vineyard, there are also indigo, sea island cotton and Carolina gold rice crops. The 300 year old "Almost an Angel" Oak Tree is the perfect spot to stop for some shade & stand in awe of this gigantic beauty.



    The dress that I wore for our island adventures is the Free People Rendezvous Hi-Low Slip Dress. I found mine on eBay for $10.86!! (Originally: $78!) Currently on Amazon in limited sizes, $7.99 & up!

     When the slide sandal style started becoming popular again, I was skeptical. The style seems a bit bulky and a touch awkward. To me, the style is the Crocs of the sandal world but that's exactly what I needed...something to easily slip-on, with no fear of destroying! The thick rubber soles make them easy to rinse off unlike most leather or faux leather products. I'm sharing my top 5 finds & these aren't you're average slides! Perfect for outside activities, chores or slipping on to go back & forth from the beach & pool. Seriously, I get more use out of this style sandal then any others!

     I don't think I've ever been this over the top excited about the goodies in VoxBox. I'm a daily SPF wearing so testing these sunscreens is right up my ally. Influenster sent me these products complimentary for testing purposes. I've already looked into purchasing more! Currently at ULTA, you can purchase are BOGO 50% off with a free Diamond Dust lotion. (Each retails for $14.99)

     First up is the Diamond Dust Holographic SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen. I tried this one for daily use & will be testing at the beach & pool this summer. I'm a glitter lover so fair warning if glitter isn't your jam this is not for you!. Its a heavily glittered shimmery base loaded with tons of glitter. Both sunscreen & definitely the glitter lasted all day. I could still see both by the end of the night. I personally think its a super fun effect & and equally effective sunscreen. In fact, the glitter seems to make the sunscreen last longer in comparison to regular sunscreen.


     Next up is the Mineral Face Lotion also SPF 30. The texture is lightweight. It feels sheer & smooth. I think this is perfect for all skin types as it is non-greasy & easily rubs in to the skin. I also wear this on my chest, neck & shoulders.

     Last but not least is the Coco Mango Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30. The spray is also available in Vanilla Coconut & Citrus Cooler Scents. Call me crazy but I personally love the scent of sunscreen! I realize that's not the case for everyone. These are a fun new twist on sunscreen sprays as they add a perfect touch of scent along with your normal sunscreen protection.

    
     I hope this weekend is as cool as this hat kinda makes me feel! One of my recent fab finds is this one piece swimsuit that can also be worn as a body suit. The fabric is textured and give the most perfecting look! The large gromments & lace-up detail caught my eyes immediately. I have to size up in one piece suits. If you have a long torso, I would definitely recommend doing the same. This one piece is best suited for those with a shorter torso unless you like the high cut look/style.

California Waves Textured Grommet One-Piece Suit Original: $39.99 Now: $29.99 (Macy's coupons will work on this item) Available in 4 colors: red, black, light blue and yellow & white stripes.

      My blister tip: Instead of putting the bandaid on your blister, place bandaid on inside of the part of shoe that’s causing the trouble. The bandaid will stay in place & you’ll be back to happy feet!!

I found my Free People "Fast Times top on eBay for $19.41 Retail is $128! The loose fit & cold shoulder makes it nice & breezy for warmer temps and I've been wearing on repeat! There are a few new currently on eBay & Amazon for $30 & up:
