Coverup / Bag / Flip-Flops

Sharing a few fun cover-ups today along with pics from our recent trip to Cabo! I ordered most of these cover-ups from Amazon for our trip, but I didn’t order early enough and they all showed up on my doorstep 20 minutes before we walked out the door to head to the airport! I had already packed (and went to great lengths to condense to a carry on suit-case.. ha) so they didn’t come with me. I tried them on after the trip and decided to keep them all for future trips/summer because they are all so good! This first cover-up is already a favorite. It’s like a little shirt dress with slits on the side. So cute and flattering and perfect to toss on after the pool or beach to grab some food!

I got it in white too! It comes in other colors. 10/10! This mesh bag holds a lot and is perfect for the beach! I love inexpensive beach bags like this that I’m not worried about getting dirty because the beach is always messy.

Coverup / Flip-Flops

Another cute coverup/summer dress! I ordered this to try because they reviews were so high and it really is surprisingly flattering. I usually don’t love body con dresses on me, but this is a great fit and really comfortable. It comes in lots of colors.. I love this blue!

Bikini Top / Bikini Top in other colors / Bikini bottoms I usually wear with this top / Coverup skirt / Bag / Flip-Flops

I’ve had this coverup skirt for years and it’s hands down my favorite! One size and you can make it as tight/short as you want it. This bikini top is another summer staple for me. I love tops that cover my shoulders and have a higher neck for days that we are spending hours at the beach or pool. I have fair skin and burn so easily! Plus it’s such a cute, flattering top. I also linked the bikini bottoms I usually wear with it.

Coverup top / similar shorts / Flip-Flops

This cute stitch tie cropped cardigan did come with me to Cabo! Perfect to cover arms/shoulders without getting too hot.

Coverup / Bag / Flip-Flops

This mini dress is another great coverup option. Very similar to the black shirtdress coverup I shared at the beginning of my post but without the buttons. It comes in lots of colors/patterns.

This split beach dress is such a beautiful coverup! I’m excited to wear it this summer. Also flattering and perfect vacation/resort wear.

Top / Flip-Flops

This is another great option for long beach/pool days when you want some coverage without getting too hot! A long sleeve beach shirt that is cute long and open or buttoned up and tied. I love this apricot but it comes in so many colors.

Cutest sundress coverup! It also comes in lots of colors. I  wish it was a little shorter above the knees on me. If you’re taller than 5’3 it will be the perfect length. ;)

Tanning Mouse/tanning mit

I’ve shared this tanner before. I’ve tried several and this is still hands down my favorite! Use the mit and it’s so easy to apply. You can see exactly how it will look when you rub it on so it’s easy to make sure it’s going on even!

Bag

Isn’t this straw tote perfection!? Such a cute look and a great size. Never met a stripe I didn’t love. I know we will be besties this summer. :)

Poolside Bag / Bag

These two I’ve had for a few years.. also fun options for summer! They make great summer gifts too. Add a towel and some sunscreen for teachers or moms or graduates, etc.

Time for a few Cabo pics! But first a confession. I’m an over packer. Such a big over packer that I am known for it in my family. Nobody believed that I could just bring a carry on for this weekend trip. I like to have options! Lots of them. Ha. But I did it and I was so proud of myself and Kenny was shocked. Until I pulled out my travel backpack and put it on and almost tipped over it was so stuffed! Ha ha. We had a good laugh. It’s basically another small suitcase it holds so much! I LOVE it.

Not necessarily our best picture but I love this because it represents the way we always feel once we are loaded and buckled on a plane. Relief and happiness! It’s always so much work prepping for travel isn’t it!?  Getting the house ready, getting kids ready or taken care of, getting work stuff ready, getting packed, getting to the airport, getting through the airport. Then finally you are strapped in a seatbelt and can do no more! We took this picture and 5 minutes later were both asleep.

Putting on lipgloss before we landed and I snapped this pic of my favorite makeup bag.. it’s on sale at the moment! My every day make-up is linked here.

Arrived at the resort! This trip was a getaway with my brother and sister and their wife and husband to celebrate my brother’s 40th birthday. I wish you all knew my brother Austin in real life. He is GOLD. The kindest, most genuine, sincere guy you will ever meet. He’s also HILARIOUS and it’s always a party when Austin is in the house! The kids all love Uncle Austin and we have been thick as thieves our whole lives. Growing up it was always me and Austin (the sentimental two) battling our tougher sister Carly.. ha. I can’t imagine life without him! He’s rarely serious hence his lovely smile for the camera.

We stayed at the Westin villas and it was a beautiful resort! I would absolutely recommend it. Stunning property and the rooms were so nice.

Hello view!

There are several restaurants at the resort and the food was amazing! We honestly hardly left. There was no reason to go anywhere! The goal was to spend time together and that’s all we did. Talked and laughed and relaxed in the sun and then talked and laughed some more. This was the first time the 6 of us have ever been together without our kids. Too much fun.. we had forgotten how to relax!

But we picked it up quickly.. ha.

Some resort pics..

Dinner at the resort.

Kenny made me wake up the first morning to see the sun rise. He’s such a morning person and I am not and it kills me to wake up early (especially on vacation!) so I threw a pillow at him and grumbled and stumbled out of bed but once I stepped on the balcony and saw the sun all was forgiven! This picture doesn’t do it justice. It was spectacular! So I half way thanked him but told him I saw it and took a picture and to let me sleep until 9 the next morning which he did.

So we’re still married. ;)

We all tried yoga on the beach before breakfast and had a good laugh at ourselves! So beautiful.

The pools/hot tubs were great and you can always see the ocean from every spot!

There were also whales jumping so close to the shore! It was incredible to watch them! I didn’t get a picture.. just lots of video. You can’t swim in the beach at this resort because of the strong waves and harsh undercurrents. We were so fine with that (especially without kids!) but if you’re traveling to this resort there are beaches close by you can swim in.

We did venture out one night to have dinner at The Office. My friends told me it was a fun spot and it was! Great food and a lively party environment. The guys..

and the girls.

The tables outside are right on the beach! Music is playing and the colors are so bright and fun.

This is the view from the other angle. Food was delicious!

We snapped this in the front of the restaurant on the way out. We ventured out around the restaurant for a while and then bought snacks and went back to the resort to talk all night.

I think Austin had a great birthday. :)

I came home and was pretty impressed that my kids had kept the house relatively clean! Just these dishes were on the counter with a note from Kole. It says “these are clean..didn’t know where they go.” Ha. It made me smile. At least he unloaded the dishes.

Me and Car getting wild with our virgin margaritas. Ha. Cheers to a great trip! I love my siblings and I’m so grateful for this uninterrupted time we got to spend together. We’re already scheming about how we can make it a yearly tradition. Next time we’ll get out and see more of Cabo!

Or we won’t. Because we’re all old now and remembered how to relax.
