My pre-vacation fitness rituals…

If I had an inspiration board dedicated to my beach style, it would be filled with pictures of…
My mom. She has great beach style.

Packing essentials for a beach vacation…
Eres bikinis, straw hats, sunglasses, K Jacques sandals and white cotton tunic coverups that I have collected over the years on my various travels.

And beach beauty essentials…

My typical day by the sea…
A typical day at Wailea Beach [in Hawaii] includes an early morning walk down the beach, swimming, laying out in the sun and then going up to the house for lunch to take a break from the the mid-day heat. When in Maui we love to cook big family lunches at home and eat outside in the garden or by the pool… lots of fresh fish on the BBQ and local fruits like avocado, pineapple and papaya. Then afternoons are filled with building sandcastles, body surfing, reading, getting ice cream and more suntanning.
