beach blanket bingo!


my mom and i went to the beach yesterday!


it was really nice. it's the first time i've been this year!

i was very happy to hang out alone with my mom because:

a. that almost never happens
b. she is leaving for germany next tuesday

we just ate strips, talked, and laid in the sun.

...not that laying in the sun really does anything for me since i coat myself in spf 70 (i had to tint these photos a bit to keep from blinding you all).


it's really hard to have an esthetician's license (not to mention parents who have had melanomas cut off their bodies) and not be super sun-conscious!

I agree on the sunscreen! It's just not worth it! PS-you look great in that suit!

YUMMMM. I miss strips! Good ol dwights. Brings back Junior Lifeguard memories. Are you looking for an aesthetician position? My parents own a derma clinic across the street from South Coast. I never hear you talking about doing facials...are you working as an aesthetician now? My family ALSO has melanoma-a-go-go and I am also super sun concious. We will age beatimously. :)

amen to spf-usage! my man has had numerous melenoma spots removed & he is 26(today actually is his bday). spf 70 is the way to go.(tinted mousterizers!) love your suit!

Kimberly Julie said...

I spf 50 my face, shoulders, and tattoos when I go out in the sun... I think that counts for something, right? And your suit is so very cute! :)

Carrie said...

Oh, I'm so jealous!!!!! I've only been to the beach once in my life and I was too young to remember it. :( One of these days when I'm less broke and more map-savvy I'm taking a serious roadtrip. :)

You both look so gorgeous! So missing the Pacific. :( It looks just beautiful. xo

Good for you spreading the spf love! I wear spf 15 on my face at all times, day or night, December or August. And when I'm out in the summer sun, it's spf 70 all the way. If I make it without a tan line, I've had a successful summer.

mmm, 3 fist pumps for sun protection! My dad had skin cancer, so I can appreciate it too! Although, every time I buy a new sunblock, I lose it. So, I've been without lately. I'll probably end up looking like a leather handbag when I get older if I don't start using avidly again!

Adele said...

Your mom is waay too cool. My mom freaks out when I wear a bikini -.- haha!

Desiree said...

so nice.
I wish my mother wasn't so busy and stressed all the time -- it would be good to spend time with her where she wasn't rushed.

The Little Misses said...

I want to live near the beach ! :) How lovely.

Esther Diehl said...

Hotness!

Love your swimsuit.

Eugene Lim said...

I love the beach! (: I live in the middle of Texas though, so the drive is veryyyy long. Hope you had a lovely time and thanks for stopping by my blog! ^^

Ah I miss the beach. Can you believe I lived in El Segundo for 2 years and only went to the beach like maybe 3 times. I miss it.
