Shore-ly a Beach Beauty in Old Navy Beachwear!

          Thursday, May 16th, I got some friends together and we took a trip to our nearest Old Navy. I have just reently moved and found out that the closest Old Navy has either moved or been shut down, but I can't find it if it has moved. The next closest Old Navy is about an hour from where I live now. (side note.... PLEASE Old Navy open some more stores in Alabama between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa!!!) Back to my trip. I took my mom, and both of my brother's girlfriends. I thought this would be a great way for my mom and me to get to know the girlfriends better and have a fun girl's day out. We each browsed Old Navy's website for the selection of swim suits that Old Navy offers in stores to see what styles we planned to try on before we got to the store. Looking through the selection on the website, we each had several swim suits picked out that we were going to look for first.
          Once we got to the store, we decided on going straight to the swim suits first. We each knew that would take the longest since we had to try on so many so that we found the perfect suit. We were a little disappointed at the selection of suits available at our nearest Old Navy. There were several walls of bikinis, but the selection of one pieces and tankinis were very, very few. We found only one control waist swimsuit. There were 2 other one piece suits. There were only about 5 tankini's to choose from (3 solid colors, 1 stripe, 1 print). Only one of the four of my group were looking for an actual bikini. The other 3 of us wanted a one piece or tankini. So those 3 of us didn't have much to choose from at all. The 3 of us each tried on all 3 of the one pieces and all colors/prints of the tankinis. The 4th girl tried on several bikinis and one tankini.
          Myself and one other girl really liked the style of the control waist swimsuit, but for myself the chest area didn't have enough support. It was a very thin strap which did not hold up my breasts. Instead the weight of the swimsuit seemed to pull my breasts down. For the other girl, it was fine for her breasts, but she struggled to get the swimsuit on easily. My mom and I tried on a one piece with a key hole style top. It looked great on my mom and it was easily one that she set aside that she liked. For myself, again it did not support my breasts. My mom and I also tried on another one piece but neither of us liked the print.
          There were two styles of tankinis. One was a striped tankini that was mroe fitted to the body but the breasts were made in a way that they were supprtive and they were formed to shape. I really liked the way the breasts were done on this one and how well the  breasts fit and were supportive for me. However the breasts on this one did not work for any of the other girls. It was too much for each of them. I didn't choose this one however because of how fitted it was and I wannted something a little looser and I wanted to be able to interchange the bottoms, but there were not other bottoms other than the stripe ones that were available for this. I would have chose this one anyway if it had some solid green colored bottoms to have gone with it. Jessica tried on a pink tankini. We all agreed that the pink top and pink bottoms was too much pink for her, but we found the perfect bottoms to go with it, some striped ones that were pink and orange. It looked great. The solid top evened her out and the striped bottoms drew attention to her adding shape. It was the suit she chose. This top was a halter with more flexible breasts not as much support, but she didn't need the support. This style of top came in more options of colors to choose from.
          Kimberly tried on the same green striped tankini that I had tried on. It fit her good, but the breasts were not fitting for her size. She is so small and petite. She ended up trying on many bikinis and in the end she was torn between a matching striped top and bottoms in a blue or the same striped top with a solid bottom. In the end she chose the striped top and solid bottom. My mom, Vicki, was torn between a solid black tankini she had tried on and a printed one piece swim suit. I in the end still struggled a bit because I have such and odd shape right now. I was trying to choose between the striped green tankini even though I would have rather had solid green bottoms for it, a solid black tankini that didnt support my breasts as well, but fit alot better, and the pink control waist even though it pulled down my breasts. My friends agreed togheter that they did not like the pink control top on me in person. They said it looked better in pics, but not in person. Choosing between the striped green and the solid black tankinis my friends liked the solid black on me more, so that was what I went with.
          Next we went to pick out our flip flops. We all found a pair of flip flops that matched our swimsuits as best as we could. Vicki picked pink to go with her black suit. Jessica chose a little different colored pink to match the pink color of her suit. Kimberly chose blue. I chose a pink pair as well. There was a good selection of beach towels. Kimberly picked a striped bue one that matched her suit quite well. Jessica picked a very colorful one that looked like a leaf pattern. My mom, Vicki, picked one that was a black and white zebra pink trimmed in pink. I chose a pink one with dots all over it.
          Finally to the beach bags. We searched the whole store fromm front to back, but there was only one style of beach bags in the entire store. It came in six color styles, but the bags were the same. It came in a blue stripe, a pink stripe, a brown stripe, a solid pink, a solid blue, and a multi-colored stripe. They were made with a straw mateial. They were soft and flexibile. Jessica chose the muti-colored one. My mom and I both chose the stripped pink one, and Kimberly chose the striped blue one.
          It was a very fun day at Old Navy. We got to enjoy a girl's day and got to see all of the beach items that Old Navy had to offer. It was exciting getting to try on all the styles of swim suits.

Try the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine

For this sample and share from Crowdtap, I received samples of Cottonelle's Clean Care toilet paper and Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes. I received an 18 pack of toilet paper and one package of Fresh Care Flushable Wipes to try for myself. I also reeived two 4 packs of toilet paper and two other packs of flushable wipes to share with friends. I decided to give my mom both of the 4 packs of toilet paper and both of the flushable wipes packs. The reason I did this instead of giving to two different people is because my mom has 6 people living in her home on a regular basis and every other week there is one more. I felt that this gave a larger opinion of the products since there were so many people there to try it out and tell me what they thought of them. My moms house is separated into two parts, where my mom and dad live in one side and my two brothers, one brother's daughter and his girlfriend, and my Nana stay in the other side. The two packs were able to cover both sides of the house.

My family tried out the flushable wipes and the clean care toilet paper. This has now become a part of our everyday routine. We use the flushable wipes after each bowel movement and when we feel that we need a little extra clean feeling. My mom and family at her house cant live without it. My Nana uses the flushable wipes after each time in the rest room. This is a great way to get clean and feel clean between showers.
