Getting ready for a little WINTER GETAWAY?You don’t want to pack too much but you want to make sure you have everything you need.

A bathing suit is always one of the most essential things to consider for your resort/vacation stay… but what about all the little extras that go along with it….like your beach towel, sun hat, after swim cover up and beach bag. Don’t you love beachy accessories?
It’s weird that I still have a thing for bathing suits even though I have a whole drawer dedicated to them. I just love a nice swimsuit – either a one or two-piece and I have a collection from various travels. This time on holiday I took only two – one of each kind but the problem was I didn’t want to ruin either of them in the hot tub. The hot tub (après swim or in the evening) tends to stretch your suits from their original shape over time. You have to immediately run them under cold water after being in the Jacuzzi. One time I had to have a designer swimsuit altered a size smaller because the bottom got stretched out. Normally I wouldn’t care but this one was too nice to throw away.
I keep thinking that I’ll take along an old suit that I don’t really care about for hot tub purposes only but I can’t bring myself to wear something I don’t like. Anyway, I wasn’t planning on it only scheming but I ended up buying a few new bikinis on sale that I planned to use only in the hot tub because the prices were too good to pass up (ha, ha, that’s what I told myself). Problem was they’re really nice and as I ended up liking them so much I had to limit my time in the hot tub altogether. It’s not the worst problem someone could have in the big scheme of things. But still…
In Palm Springs I came upon a swim wear store that caught my eye because of their playful display at the front entrance. I loved the brightly coloured little zippered bags to enclose stuff like sunblock, lip balm and the like and also believe it or not, old fashioned bathing caps.

Did I really say that?

Bathing caps are normally not something that attracts my attention but these were kind of fun and reminded me of something old time movie star Esther Williams might have worn in “Million Dollar Mermaid”. Maybe they’re making a comeback.
Because let’s face it, there’s nothing less attractive than covering your head in one of those ugly stretchy caps and then wearing swim goggles to boot …..nothin!
Unless you’re Will Ferrell – of course then, anything will look good on you.
