Hawaiian Shirts - The New Escape Wear

That Aloha Vibe - Hawaiian Shirts
I've been wearing Hawaiian Shirts for over 30 years now, It's just one of those wardrobe staples that hangs in my closet longing for summer and fun in the sun. When I see them hanging on the rack I can literally smell suntan lotion and plumerias and when I slip into these shirts I slip into that Aloha Spirit and that feels oh so good.
I've sourced out a few of my favorites listed below and my most recent discovery is from Tombolo (pictured center) thank you, Cathy… This brand is known for bringing back the golden era of Hawaiian Shirts and I couldn't agree more.
Turn on some Hawaiian tunes, and slip into a little “escape-wear” with the shopping links below.

Since we might not reach our favorite getaway, might as well enjoy your at-home vacay in vintage Hawaiian style.

The above Hawaiian shirt is 29 years old. I had someone try to buy it off my back a few years ago on Kaui but I couldn’t part with it. The brand is Jams, it’s a men’s xs.

COLLECTIVE LABORATORIES HAIR SERUM + THE SCIENCE OF NATURE

Let's talk Hair with @collectivelaboratories cuz it's worth a conversation. I love when science and plants get along so well and Collective Laboratories have created a #powercouple. They harnessed the best that nature has to offer to support your scalp and strands. This hair serum is a wonderful preventive, I wish this were around when I was in my 30’s or even younger. There are all sorts of reasons we can lose hair but we don’t have to. I love their motto; “Shed Shame Not Hair”

I posted a video on my Instagram page if you’d like to see how to apply. After 8 months of using, I have no plans of stopping. After turning 50 I noticed my hair thinning along with my eyebrows, and yes I use the serum on my eyebrows. Not only was I losing hair, I lost the shine and I’ve noticed an improvement in all three areas. It's easy to use, this serum is a leave-in product, style your hair normally to boost volume or apply before bed and let nature go to work. Use Code GRATEFUL50 for 50% off your first order! Apply that code, apply this serum, and enjoy!

If you take hair supplements… no problem this is a topical serum, it's like a toner for your scalp. Why not use both a supplement and a topical?

Their Ingredients

They traveled the globe to discover precious botanicals and use science to harness the best that nature has to offer—uniting time-honored remedies and evidence-based technology to support your scalp and strands.

Lilac Stem Cells / Pumpkin Seed Oil / Ginseng Root / Bioton / Burdock Root / Bergamont Fruit Oil / Malabar Kino Bark / Oat Bran Extract / Zinc Gluconate

I know there is a lot of hair products on the market and I’ve subscribed to many of them. The more I learn about science and nature the more I understand how these products do their job. Their website is full of information, reviews and facts. I’ve been using Collective Labs for awhile and I see results. Let me know if you have any questions. Use my code GRATEFUL50 - that’s a great discount…what do you have to lose??

Not Hair!

FITNESS WEAR WITH WHO WHAT WEAR

Melissa Meyers and I shared a few of our favorite fitness brands with Who What Wear to kick off the summer “back in shape” motivation. Did anyone put on a few extra COVID pounds? I definitely enjoyed more pizza and pasta than usual and it sure was delicious and now it’s time to reel it in a bit!

Lilybod

Pilates, yoga, or foam roller? All of the above, please! As we get older it’s important to stay flexible! Since the shutdown I’ve been running 6 days a week so stretching and online yoga was a must. I’m happy to say my pilates place has opened up and has taken great safety measures!

This top is so comfortable that I also purchased it in black. These arm weights can be used as ankle weights too.

Mar Y Sol Tote

These Sunset Joggers are super versatile, I also wear these with my white button-down linen shirt and sandals. If you are up for traveling you’ll want to pack these!

Nike

When out for a walk, run or a fresh-air hike, these bike shorts are fun for a change. Paired with this light-weight top and water-resistant belt bag.

Now that we are finally able to run-around-town a bit more these days, we want activewear outfits that will keep us comfortable and stylish while staying safe. Matching sweat-sets, or joggers worn with a coordinating tee, both offer chic style and comfort.

The beach is finally open again, and it’s the perfect spot to get active by running, walking, or jumping waves. Best thing we can do to jumpstart our health is to take care of ourselves, eat healthy food, get our cardio in, and wear a mask. I think moving forward we will need to be smart and diligent about keeping our immune system at 100% so if you’ve dropped the ball now’s the time to pick it back up!

Stay safe,

Thank you for reading,
