Blog Love: Beach Tomato!

There are two beach-themed blogs that I want to shout out because they are fantastic.  The first one is British-based Beach Tomato (and note, there are nipples in some photos so part of the site is Not Safe For Work). I really love the Beach of the Week feature on Beach Tomato, as well as the sun-centric products that they recommend. 

For the more recent beaches of the week, they recommend a book from a local author - how awesome is that? If you will be traveling anywhere, it is best to get a feel of the local culture to enhance your outlook on the trip. 

You gotta look good on the beach, or at least feel good!  On each featured beach the editors suggest some beauty products such as mascara, bronzer, and sunscreen as well as cute swimsuits.  They also highlight some doctor-administered treatments for cellulite reduction and liposuction. 

Don't have a perfect body? That's perfectly OK and join the club!  They have a great reminder to all women out there from a love-life coach who is also easy on the eyes (is it ironic that I had to throw that shallow comment in there? lol):

You see: Thighs. Massive thighs. A lardy cacophony of pizza, sofa and regret.

He sees: A lovely, smooth, soft lady body.

It has been said before, but I can only say it again – men love a curve. We are, quite literally, biologically programmed to. So you're immediately on to a winner, as long as you're reasonably hair-free and have a bikini that fits. (When it's too tight it cuts into your flesh, creating fat where there isn't any and spoiling the whole silhouette. Equally, baggy isn't good either.).

So, if I could choose one of their beaches of the week, where would I go?  While I certainly wouldn't turn down any of them, the one that called my name the most was Baía dos Porcos, Fernando de Noronha, Brasil.  What is most attractive to me, other than the dreamy turqouise water, is the fact that the beach most likely won't be too dense.  Fantastic!   I hate crowded beaches.  

 

Put me on some sand ASAP!

They have a contest for a trip to Hawaii, but be forewarned that it requires you to fly out from London, which will be great for Europeans, but difficult for people in the US or Asia, for example.
