My Nutrisystem Journey Week 13 + Tips to Finding the PERFECT Swimsuit #ad #NutrisystemSnaps



We are beach bound and it's time for the annual swimsuit shopping hunt, I mean shopping trip, shopping trip. 

 Truth is -SURPRISE- I am actually looking forward to shopping for swimsuits this year.  I've been on Nutrisystem for about 5 months now and last year's swimsuit is too big.  *tosses confetti and tosses old swimsuit in donation box*

 Here are some tips sure to make your swimsuit shopping experience less of a headache.

 SHOP YOUR SHAPE
   Be honest with yourself. String bikinis are NOT for everyone. I am a work in progress. Nutrisystem is helping me shed the excess weight but I would rather wear a comfortable swimsuit than spend my day at the beach adjusting wedgies.  If you're a plus size diva like me, you may want to opt for a suit with wider straps to keep the girls supported and a full coverage bottom.

Disclosure: I am an Nutrisystem Blogger and I received a complimentary subscription to Nutrisystem in exchange for this post. Follow #NutrisystemSnaps for more on my weight loss journey and that of other #NSNation bloggers.

TIP:  Wide straps and suits with high backs tend to hide problem areas.

 1 PIECE OR 2
   In the words of the 90s chart topping music group Digital Underground "DoWutChaLike". Nothing looks better on a person than confidence.  If your mind, body and soul say "Hunty that 2-piece is all you", go for it.  If you're not quite there yet or prefer a more modest 2-piece tankini or boy short or a 1 piece swimsuit.

TRY IT ON
   Before you buy that swimsuit, try it on.  Make sure the suit fits to your liking.  Look in the mirror to make sure everything you want covered is covered.  Be mindful some fabrics expand when wet so you may be able to shop a size down.  Check your top and bottom. Check it again. Have a shopping buddy check it.  Make sure the suit comfortably fits your top, bottom and sides.  

COVER IT UP
  A good cover up is a swimsuit essential.  Some cover ups can do double duty going from the beach / pool to the after party.  Find a cover up that compliments your swimsuit and maybe some accessories to compliment your swimsuit fit.

 Oh, and remember everyone can't rock every thang so before you purchase that purple leopard print, TRY IT ON.  Who knows you just may be able to rock that!

I totally agree that bathing suits need to be tried on! You HAVE to make sure they are going to fit and you will be comfortable in them.

Im thrilled to be able to wear a two piece now after loosing 50 lbs with nutrisystem. I still have to try on several to get one that looks right. I ended up getting a couple with a skirt bottom but they have a short skirt almost like a long ruffle. They are still cute without looking old. But of course I am old. Ha

I have been exercising since January but I have not had any success as far as fitting into smaller clothes. I'm going to work harder at it because I would love to be able to buy a smaller wardrobe than what I have now.

This is such a great post, buying a swimming costume can be a nightmare, I'm a larger lady but have found tankinis are great - they don't show anymore than a swimming costume but really flatter my shape.

I need to go swimsuit shopping soon! I do love tankinis which I have now, but the bottoms are too big and the top isn't comfortable for long periods.

Bathing suit shopping is the worst! I never find anything when I'm looking for one. It's when I'm not looking I find one!

I completely agree that swimsuits could be tired on before yo9u purchase them. It's all about being comfortable and getting the swimsuit that YOU feel best it!

I’m agree that you need to try a swimsuit before buying. You never know when a wardrobe malfunction may happen.

These are great tips for finding the right swimsuit for you. I have always favored the one piece swimsuit. The cover ups I have always loved too. It is so important to get the right suit for your body shape. Thanks for sharing the information.

It is so difficult to buy swim wear! It looks good on those online magazines but it does not look the same once you've purchased it.

I always go for one piece suits but I never buy them from online stores no matter how pretty they look. I have to get a feel of the material and have a chance to try it on before I buy.

Still not sure about how to properly shop for my body's shape so this is awesome. I lean towards one pieces these days. I just like the style!

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
