I saw this meme recently and it gave me a giggle. I feel a bit like this beach babe….

I’ll not hurt your eyes with my winter white skin and I’ll share mostly photos from the Cabana Life website in this post. I am in love with their wide selection of stylish swimwear. Spring break  and then summer will be here before you know it. That means it’s time to get a new swimsuit…or 2 or 3. I love swimwear!

Many of you already know this, but I had a scare with melanoma skin cancer in 2013. For a while, the sun was ruined for me, but I’ve found a way to still enjoy the summer. It’s all about proper swimwear that will protect me from those cancer rays that beam down from above. Being safe in the sun is important for everyone, it only takes one bad sunburn to be at risk of skin cancer.

While I want to be sun-smart, I don’t want to look like the strange covered up lady on the beach. I’m really happy that there are companies like Cabana Life that have stylish swimwear to keep my family safe in the sun. I will be sporting the NANTUCKET SOUND ZIPPER RASHGUARD in 2017. The rashguard is a perfect fit. I ordered a medium (I’m 5 ft 8) and it was the right length. It’s slightly fitted at the waist, but not clingy in the spare tire zone. 🙂 The print is flattering for my shape as well. I am a bit of a pear shape so I did order a large swim skirt to be safe. It fits well since I’m on the higher end of my winter hibernation weight. My grandma always wore a swim skirt, but I think it’s stylish for younger people now too. I have skin cancer scars and imperfections to hide. I feel very comfortable sporting a swim skirt, especially since it’s so cute with my rashguard.

There was a surprise feature on the rashguard that I didn’t notice when I ordered it. The sleeves have thumb holes if you want to protect your hands. Last summer we went to Lake Michigan and even though  I wore sunscreen and a rashguard, my neck and hands were fried at the end of the day. The higher zip up neckline and the option to cover my hands with the thumb holes to keep the sleeves over my hands would have helped me avoid that burn. Brilliant feature!

While this post is all about the women’s line of swimwear. Cabana Life has adorable swimwear options for the whole family. I have my eye on a matching tanking and cover up set for my daughter. She still thinks it’s cool to dress like her mom. I have to take advantage of that while it lasts. I do wish that quality swimwear wasn’t so expensive, but you can’t put a price tag on keeping your skin safe in the sun. I budget to get at least one new quality piece of swimwear each season. I justify the cost when I wear it for a few years and enjoy having at least one new swimsuit a season.

  12. If get the 3PC PALM BREEZE SWIM SUIT & COVER UP SET for my daughter and a matching PALM BREEZE ONE-PIECE for me 🙂

  21. I’d love to get the BIG GIRLS SARDINIA SANDS SWIMSUIT & COVER UP SET for my granddaughter.

  26. Wow, they have so many cute items. I wish they had a sleeveless dress. Here in Florida it’s almost impossible to wear anything that’s not sleeveless in the summer. I’d like to get the cute CABANA COAST FRONT TIE SWIM SHORTS. Thanks Ginny!!

    1. Oh, good feedback. I have found that my rashguard’s aren’t too hot if I’m wet, but sometimes in the beating sun it is quite warm. I don’t typically get my swim cover-up’s wet so that doesn’t solve that problem! Maybe next season you’ll have your request granted by Cabana Life. 🙂 They should name it the Tracy Cover-up. 🙂

  33. Oh wow! They have such cute things! I really love the BOYS SHARK CAMO RASHGUARD SET and the NAVY AND WHITE REVERSIBLE SWIM HAT for our little one! Oh that would really help protect his skin this summer! We spend so much time in the pool and garden!

  37. I really like the CABANA COAST SWIMSUIT & TERRY COVER UP SET. It would look adorable on my daughter.

  38. I would love to have the 2PC CORAL SEAS SWIMSUIT & TERRY COVER UP SET for my daughter! I wish they had it in my size, so I could get the same one for myself! Adorable!!

  43. I would buy a new bikini, just not sure which one yet, there’s way too many to choose from!!

  44. My wife loves swim shirts and this is definitely her style. Thanks for sharing, Ginny.

  46. I love the NANTUCKET SOUND EMBROIDERED TANKINI TOP and the CORAL SIDE RUCHED BIKINI BOTTOM.

  64. I really love the Moroccan tile beach pants, I’d get a ton of use with them and the navy scallop rash guard matches great.

  66. I love the tunic! And now that Im uber paranoid about the sun this would come in handy 🙂

    1. Ah yes, the first summer after skin cancer is frightening, but with the right swimwear you don’t have to hide under a rock!

  73. We live in San Diego and our daughter and I both need new rashguards this year. I love the AQUA EMBROIDERED RASHGUARD for her. I especially like their NAVY TICKING STRIPE RUCHED RASHGUARD for me! It’s fun to have such a large selection!

  76. Love these suits! I could really use a new one post baby 😉…And for Mexico in a few months. Love the functionality.

  77. I would use this to get my daughter the SARDINIA SANDS HIGH-NECK BIKINI TOP and bottom .

  81. The elastic in last year’s swimsuit gave way, so I’m in baaaad need of a new suit! I can buy the kids’ stuff anywhere…this would totally be for me 😉

  83. I would choose the NANTUCKET SOUND EMBROIDERED TANKINI TOP and Swim Skirt

  85. Thanks for the giveaway! I’ve been looking for a rash guard for myself this summer!

  88. I would get the COBALT HALTER TANKINI and the COASTAL CRUSH SWING SHIFT DRESS. Both will be perfect for a day at the beach.

  94. I’d gift the $100 shop credit to my Mom for her upcoming birthday! She’s had pre-cancerous moles removed several times, and I know she’d like more sun coverage this summer!

  95. I love this! My red hair and pale skin have left me nervous about skin cancer! A few bad burns growing up & into college…I’m trying hard to avoid anymore!

    1. Skin cancer is scary. You are wise to keep covered up. Our poor white skin can’t handle it! hahaha

  101. We’re at the pool or beach all summer, so I prefer a bathing suit to live in (& looks great), not just one that “looks” pretty.

  102. Shoot. You were right. Everything is cute. I love the one you’re wearing! I also loved the MOROCCAN TILE HIGH-NECK BIKINI TOP and BOTTOM combo. That rashguard is a brilliant idea though! Can never have enough sun protection.

  103. These are super cute suits! And I was just thinking I need a full covered too this year as there are some scetchy spots on my back that are getting checked out soon. This would be great.

    1. Yikes, glad you are getting them checked out. Yup, can’t be too safe in the sun.

  105. I would probably spend it on my grandsons and would buy them the Blue Koi Rashguard Set and Blue Tuna Rashguard Set.

  113. I would love the MOROCCAN TILE EMPIRE ONE-PIECE, but it was so hard to choose!

    Thanks for the chance to win!
