#SmallBizStyle: Nina Swim Inspires Me to Start Running & Fantasize about Bikinis

Share

This past spring I took my work out routine from random and rare (thanks to multiple businesses and heck, just plain old procrastination) to ON FIRE!.  My reason for kicking my "Get it Right Get it Tight 2013 Work Out Revolution" (yes I call it this) into high gear has been due to a four key things:

1. Endorphin rush, energy stress relief: Time at the gym has now become my sacred me time, and the time afterwards I'm just buzzing with energy, endorphins and often new ideas I came up with because I disconnected from work for a bit.

2. My health: I've realized that as I get older, my health has become a priority and something I simply don't take for granted anymore.

3. My wedding:  Yup, sometimes you need the thought of two-hundred plus people staring at you to breathe new life into your running routine.

4. Nina Swim:  YES this small business had turned me into one of their most devoted fans.  Photos of their bathing suits are literally taped to my pantry, preventing me from convincing myself that several of its inhabitants are allowed to pass my lips.

Why do I love this swimwear line so much?  I think Agustina (the founder and designer) hit the nail on the head with each of her designs (which range from swimwear to cover-ups to kid's swimwear).  Seeing them makes me think Bridget Bardot/Bond Girl/I-Must-Wear-This-on-the-Sands-of-St. Barts. They are sexy without being trashy, they are classic and modern at the same time (yes, she does that), and there are so many amazing styles to choose from I can't pick just one!  And I'm not going to!  So I tape multiple photos of them up around my house, I visualize myself in them and I they inspire me to head off to the gym every day to kickbox and jog my way into a "Bonita" swimsuit....And an "Ambar"....

Pick out your own favorite on their website and follow Agustina and the Nina Swim team on Twitter & Facebook!
