Summer Vacation Packing Tips: Bathing Suits

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Harmonie Krieger and today we're going to be about bathing suits for summer vacations. The most important thing for you to have when you go to the beach is a fantastic bathing suit and I love bikinis so I'm going to show you a couple of different bikinis I had and then you go into the dressing room at any store and try on multiple styles and make sure that you get one that's suited for your body type because a lot of people make the mistake about buying bikinis that are too teeny weeny for their body. So I'm going to show you a couple of fun ones that might be a good idea for when you go shopping. So, this is a jeweled one from Victoria's Secret and I love this one because it's all white which is a classic color for the beach and it will show off your tan really well and it has all of these jewels on it show it spices it up a little bit and it gives it that extra flare of excitement. So, this is a triangular top and it will actually push your chest up a little bit, so it won't flatten you out. The next one that I had is more of a skimpy Brazilian cut. Now, if you know that Brazilian cuts, they're a lot skimpier cut than regular bikinis. This is a polka dot red, black and white pattern and I love this one as well because it's cut. I love the string. Now, the secret about the string on the bottom of the waist is that it ties according to your waistline. So, you don't have to worry about any indentions on the side. So, this is a great bikini as well. Always look for one pattern and one solid. Next, we have a really fun turquoise pattern and this is also a triangular top so it will again lift you up and give you just that extra sense of you know, sexiness on the beach. And this cut, the bottoms are very low but the band of elastic is wider and you always want to get a wider elastic so you have a little cushioning room you know in case your feeling a little, you know, little extra poundage that day. Now, the secret to this is wrapping them up in your suitcase. I take all of them like so and have what I call my bathing suit bag and this is great because it fits all of your bikinis and as you can see, I have a lot of them. I take all of my bikinis and I put them in my bag like this and you don't have to be so careful about folding them because it just a nylon bag and two string on the side. Tie them up like this and this whole bag fits nicely into my suitcase and you can flatten it out as well. The other great thing is, when your bathing suits are wet, you want to have a separate bag that you put them in. So, this is my little on-the-go bathing suit nap-sack. So, I hope I gave you some great tips for bathing suits, and make sure when you go into the store, you try on several different styles."
