Oi!! I am back and will be at the Calgary Woman's Show this weekend! Come on down to see some amazing vendors and to pick up your really valuable coupon from Belo Sol, believe me its a fabulous offer! Stop by and say Hi at booth #836!

Fresh off of a Fabulous night of Ava's Favourite Things, (which was a great night of Fundraising, shoes, jewellery, bathing suits, manicures, massages, food and wine) I thought I would share another one of Oprah's Favourite Things that she announced yesterday. Since many of you have jobs outside of the home, I'm guessing you wouldn't get the chance to see these amazing new jeans! These are built for ladies with a Booty!! Finally!! So excited, as I am one of those ladies. Check them out at www.oprah.com. They are a bit pricey, but if they fit and you can wear them everyday...it's a great splurge. They also introduced the Lee jeans that are similar in fit and are a lot cheaper...those you can see on Oprah's website.

I'm off now to go set up for the Show...will be back with new fun facts and some things that I have been working on!

Belo Sol will now be offering Bravo Bra Pads for clients to purchase with their swimwear! Samples are on their way, including regular water resistant pads in all shapes, sizes and push up options, as well as silicone inserts and "Smoothies"!

Book a Belo Sol Party or Private Appointment in the month of August and you will receive a $5.00 discount on any Bravo product!

Soak Away the Pool Nasties...

Soon Belo Sol will offer Soak Wash http://www.soakwash.com/, a wonderful No-Rinse soap that smells wonderful. Small samples and bottles are perfect for taking on trips to wash out your Belo Sol Bikinis and your most delicate lingerie!

Oi!

The show has wrapped up and I was very successful in finding some more amazing companies to add to Belo Sol's already unique repetoire of beautiful swimwear. I have found three great companies that specialize in bra sized seperates going up to and F cup! So exciting to be able to fit ladies of all sizes and shapes, and still offer beautiful and unique designs. I have met some amazing people as well this week from first time designers, my friends from Brazil (again) and some even more interesting South Beachers! I scheduled in some beach time which I just came back from, here are a few pics of Miami Beach, I love the old Art Deco buildings...so 50's like and of course beautiful palm trees everywhere....and then the beloved beach!

Take a look at a short clip of some of the swimwear that appeared on the runway:

Ola!
I am here in Miami just about to head out to a "Kick Off Cocktail Event" for the Miami Swimwear Show. I am here on a mission to find some unique and beautiful collections for the more voluptuous lady, some hot one pieces and some fun and funky beachwear! I am excited to be able to expand the collections that Belo Sol already has so that everyone of my clients can benefit from the Belo Sol concept.
I am also excited that some of the changes are already appearing on my website and a preview of the beautiful new SIRI collection that will be available in September. And after this week, I hope that I will have new voluptuous sexy suits and one pieces to show you too!

Oi!
I told you I would keep reminding you about Breakfast Television! Tune tomorrow at 9:40 to check out Belo Sol and Swimwear Tips! Channel 8 for everyone in Calgary!

I promised awhile ago to show you a creative, fun and "green" product that I found in Brazil, so here it is finally:
This is a purse made out of pop can tops! It's so cute and versatile as it can be used three different ways; a longer strap purse, a shorter strap purse and as a clutch. All you have to do is pull or push it to get the different looks. I think it is so cute and so "green" I love the idea!

I'm off to get prepped for the show and maybe take advantage of the Airdrie Farmer's Market today at 3:30. If you are in the area, the market runs from 3:30 to 7:00 every Wednesday at the Airdrie Legion! I am excited that it is back, can't wait for fresh vegetables and fruit!

Ola!
I thought I would stop by to post a wonderful little YouTube video that my friend Lesley sent me...because it makes me smile and take my mind off the fact that it is raining again (actually hailing right now). I grew up watching the Sound of Music and singing this song while walking home with a friend every night, it used to make us laugh so hard....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EYAUazLI9k

So click on the link and laugh, smile, dance, sing...because in the end that's all that matters!

Just another reminder...Belo Sol will be on Breakfast Television July 16th! That's channel 8 for everyone on in Calgary! Tune in please!!!

Happy Birthday Bikini!

2009-07-06T19:06:00.000-07:00

Ola!
Just a quick post to say Happy Birthday to the Bikini! July 5th (I know a day late, so sorry bikini!), 1946 when Louis Reard debut the bikini. Here are a few bikini facts to impress your friends with while drinking Margaritas on the patio this summer:

Bikini was named after the Bikini Atoll where nuclear bombs were being tested, he thought that the reaction to the bikini would be the same as the bomb exploding in Japan a year earlier
The first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition was released in 1964
Bikinis in Space: Maxim created a 33 metre wide bikini out of vinyl mesh in the desert that apparently could be seen from space

There's just a few facts to chat about this summer. I think I will start adding one bikini fact on each post and on my Swim-zines...so you can keep impressing your friends of course!

Other news from Belo Sol:

Soon you will be able to see all of the new collections from Banco de Areia, SIRI and Foxton on the website. It will updated shortly and you will see quite a few changes as well as all the new collections!

See us on Breakfast Television! Tune in on July 16th and see Belo Sol live for the first time!! I will keep reminding you to tune in for the next couple of days! Again, I will run some contests to make sure that you were watching!

Oi!
Here's a quick post that I meant to post last week! Sketchy internet connections, dead batteries etc. stopped me from posting. Enough excuses though...here's my first Blog Video from Rio. Unfortunately, my videographer (My husband) thought that turning the camera the other way would help capture the beauty of Rio, however we realized later that we can't rotate it! So sorry, but I hope you enjoy anyways!!

Burn Calories by Trying on Swimwear!

2009-06-05T09:16:00.000-07:00

Oi!
Well coming off a CRAZY couple of weeks and now going into Fashion Business/Rio today! We are off to find more new and wonderful additions to the Belo Sol collections. Stay tuned the next couple of weeks for some updates direct from Rio!
Now getting to the title...A couple of weeks ago I picked up an old magazine that talked about "Creative Ways to Burn 100 Calories," well I had to share a few of them with including my favourite:

Find the Perfect Teeny-weeny polka dot bikini...Try on 16 suits from Belo Sol (one every 3 minutes!)

So there you go, book that private appointment or party in June or July and I will guarantee that you will burn 100 calories! How's that for a sales pitch!

Here's a few others that I thought were great to share and that may do while I am in Brazil:

Spend 17 minutes wrestling the beach ball away from your boyfriend/husband
Shop during lunch hour while carrying a 7 pound bag and new purchases, of course
Wait in an airport security line for 15 minutes, walk through the metal detector once, lift and lower a 40 pound suitcase twice, then run for 3 minutes to catch your flight! (hopefully won't have to do this!)
Slather on lip balm 765 times! (In Calgary, this is a given!)

Taken from Women's Health Mag...

It's a short post today, however I will hope to be back next week once we have arrived in Rio!

I will be taking bookings from the 20th on of June...just in case you want to burn some calories ;)
