Beachin' it with Swim Zip


Beach days are something we live for here on the Florida Panhandle.  I mean, there's a reason we've been dubbed the "Emerald Coast."  There's nothing quite like a day of soaking up the sun, breathing that sweet salt air, and digging your toes in that soft white sand.  We finally got to have our first beach day of the year a few weekends ago, and while it's a little different now that we have kids it is still something we very much look forward to doing.

Before kids, I would load up my iPod, grab the latest issue of Cosmo, and lay out to my heart's content.  With kids, I find myself more worried about how to protect that precious porcelain skin of my daughter. While sunscreen is always a must in the Florida sun, I'm always looking for additional ways to keep Mykenzi from burning.  Tents, umbrellas, SPF 98524, you name it, and I probably have tried it.  One thing I hadn't tried was Swim Zip.  While I am a super fan of all little lady suits Target has to offer, none of them offer the protection and ease that Swim Zip does and they have super cute prints which gives Target run for their money.  At least in this Momma's opinion. And Boy Moms, don't feel left out! Swim Zip offers some great prints and suits for boys too!





You might have seen Swim Zip on NBC's Shark Tank and if you haven't, you are seriously missing out.  Swim Zip offers UPF 50+ swimwear and accessories.  Betsy, the owner and creator, was diagnosed with skin cancer at a young age.  Through the trial and tribulations of her own battle, she pulled up her boot straps and created a sun friendly line of protective swimwear and accessories for all ages.

Here, the Florida sun is nothing to mess with.  When that UV Index hits "Moderate," you better start reapplying sunscreen and drinking water religiously because that sun means business.  Let's not even get started on the days it hits "Extreme."  Forecasters often try to urge us to stay inside to avoid heat stroke and burning to a crisp.  As a Florida native, we pretty well know when and when not to go to the beach, but have the peace of mind that Swim Zip offers my little lady and extra layer of UV 50+ protection puts my heart at ease.  I was careless about sun safety when I was younger and thankfully, so far, I've managed to come out unscathed, but I want to make sure my daughter (and soon to be son) know the importance of protecting yourself against the harsh rays of the sun.  Swim Zip allows me to do that while still keeping them trendy and cute.





Also, if you are a beachy toddler mom like myself, functionality of a swimsuit is almost as important as protection.  It never fails, a day at the beach means you are bringing half the sand on that beach home with you.  I'm kind of a sand freak in the sense that I try to leave as much at the beach as possible, and while the baby powder trick is a life saver, it doesn't take care of the clumps that are being stored inside your toddler's swimwear.  I often change Mykenzi out of her wet swimsuit before the ride home so she's not pinned in her carseat soaking wet.  Dragging a suit over her head or down her body results in sand everywhere, no matter how many times you wash off in the water before going to your car.  With Swim Zip those days are over.  Their easy no-pinch zipper allows me to literally zip her suit right on and off with no fuss and less sand!  I use the baby powder trick for the remaining sand and she's good to go.  Less sand, less fuss equals a happy momma and a happy baby.


Thank you Swim Zip for creating a product that is safe, functional, and cute.  It will certainly be something I can't live without for years to come.  Also, check out their hats and other accessories to keep you protected from the sun.  Mykenzi was being a typical model and refused to wear her hat, but I'll win that battle next time!

And Mommas! Since it is Mother's Day weekend, Swim Zip is offering 40% off their circle towels the @swimziproundie until May 7th.  This is an amazing deal! Get yours with code: HAPPYMOM

  1. “LOVE, Happiness, Trust, is the key to LIFE”. That was the word from Dr happy when I consulted his powerful Love Spell. I married the wrong man; I realized that after Three years of our unfruitful marriage. Everything was going from Best to Worst in our life, no child, I got demoted from work after our marriage, my husband was sacked a year after. His application for new job in various offices was constantly declined even though he was qualified enough. I was made to take care of my family with the low income I earn get that wasn’t enough to pay our rent. We keep praying a seeking for help from some people, my friends laugh at me behind because I was advised not to get married yet.It was one Thursday night that my husband woke me up and told me that has thought enough about our crisis, he said that our crisis is not ordinary and it’s beyond our spiritual level. He suggested we should consult Dr happy from testimonies he showed me online about how he has been helping families. I was afraid, I don’t like evil or spell but I supported him to contact him if he can help us. We consulted him via happylovespell2@gmail.com and he replied positively after 20munites with congratulating email that he can help us but he will need our pure heart and trusts in his work if he will cast the spell on us and purify our life. We agreed to his terms. He cast the spell and told us to expect results within 5days. I waited for three days nothing happened, so I started having doubt and blaming my husband for emailing Dr happy. It was on the fifth day that my husband was called for an interview and he got a well-paying work, I was prompted to a higher position. I missed my period on the 5th day and it was confirmed that I am with a baby. Things have really changed for us for good and we now have our own house and cars. I will never forget what Dr happy told us “LOVE is the key to LIFE”, this word keep me going. People that laughed at us are coming close for help and I am delighted to welcome them because my family is now blessed. Dr happy is a savior and man that keep to his word even when I doubted his powers at the end of the spell. Thank to your Oracle for helping us via happylovespell2@gmail.com
