Born out of the aggravation of carrying a towel on the beach amidst all the other paraphernalia one hauls around when sun bathing or swimming, the Towelini creator decided that it was time to do something. So she made a wearable beach towel. A simple and easy to use garment, basically the Towelini is worn [...]

For the past few weeks, TLC (The Learning Channel) has been advertising a new reality show called “Ashley Paige: Bikini or Bust”.

Having recently launched its new swimwear line, Sea Queen also added a very helpful section to the website to help women find the right style bathing suit for their figures.

But I still peruse the NYGÅRD collections when I [...]
