At the end of June, we wanted to escape the “June Gloom” in Los Angeles. So, we set out on a journey to Baja, California, in search of sunshine and surf. Thanks to the expertise of my friend Amanda ([email protected]), a travel agent at Fora Travel, we secured the ultimate glamping experience at Villa Santa Cruz.

One of the highlights of Villa Santa Cruz was its beachside restaurant, The Green Room. With a picturesque view of the ocean, The Green Room treated our taste buds to an array of mouthwatering tacos. In addition to authentic Mexican cuisine, and craft cocktails. But what made the dining experience truly exceptional was that all the ingredients came from the property’s own beautiful farm. So, we savored every bite and sip! All while enjoying the soothing ocean breeze that added an extra touch of magic to our meals.

While it was hard to tear ourselves away from the enchanting Villa Santa Cruz, we couldn’t resist exploring the town of Todos Santos.

Summer is the perfect season for swimming and spending time on the beach. However, many women over 40 may sometimes feel uncomfortable or self-conscious when it comes to swimwear. But the truth is, there’s no reason to feel that way! Here are some tips on how to find the perfect swimsuit for women over 40 that enhances both style and confidence.
Strategic cut-outs are a fashionable way to add some interesting details to your swimsuit and draw attention to your best features. For example, cut-outs on the waistline can create the illusion of a slimmer figure, while halter necklines can accentuate the bust. Just remember: the key is to know what areas of your body to highlight and which ones to conceal.

One-piece swimsuits have made a comeback, and we’re thankful they did! Not only do they offer better coverage for women over 40, but a well-tailored one-piece swimsuit can enhance your curves. You can go for styles with ruching or shirring to smooth out any problem areas or opt for high necklines to elongate your torso. We are loving all of these printed one-pieces swimsuits that can double as body suits too.

If you’re thinking that bikinis aren’t for women over 40, think again! With the right shape, size, and design, you can rock the bikini and feel great doing it. High-waisted bikini bottoms are a popular pick among women over 40 because they offer more coverage and can help you create or enhance an hourglass figure. Also, emphasizing your upper half with a halter top or bandeau will help to make you feel more confident. We love a balconette bra top when it comes to our bikinis. It has the support and coverage that we like.

Cover-ups have become a fashion staple when it comes to swimwear. Not only are they stylish, but they also offer great coverage when you’re not in the water. A sarong or kaftan can transform a swimsuit into an outfit in seconds. Choose lightweight fabrics that will keep you cool in the heat. Then you’re ready to go from the beach to the bar in minutes!
No matter what swimsuit you choose to wear, the most important accessory is not something you can purchase. It’s confidence! Confidence is the key to feeling amazing at any age – and that includes when you’re over 40. Love yourself, know your body type, embrace it, and let your swimsuit represent you. Try out some of these tips on how to find the perfect swimsuit for women over 40, and let us know! For tips on staying active (which helps boost confidence), check out THIS blog post.
Finding the perfect swimsuit is not just about fashion and style; it’s also about feeling confident. Follow these tips, wear what makes you feel fabulous, and let your confidence radiate this summer!
