We’re fans of the beach and love sharing different suits that work best for our bods in motion. We’ve pulled together a few designers that cover all the right places and accent your best curves. Get ready for your “staycation” find a suit you love and soak up all that Vitamin D.

In our recent feature for Who What Wear - Melissa Meyers and I share a few new styles and oldie but goodies for women 50+. These days I see every style on all ages, so it just comes down to personal preference. Take a look at the links below for gorgeous swimwear!

Cami & Jax - Use Code: Janet20 — Cami & Jax - **Use Code: Janet20**

You’ll find a lot of Cam and Jax in our collection. These sisters are surfers and understand the importance of more than just lounging poolside when it comes to a bathing suit.

Borsalino / Towel

One of our favorite styles, a high-waisted suit is super flattering. A trendy animal pattern top or a cool bandeau brings a contemporary twist to a high-waisted suit.

On Melissa, a floral pattern, bright pop of color, or an asymmetrical style make a classic one-piece anything but boring. Cover up in style with this Cynthia Rowley swim-shirt and bottoms.

The #1 suit for “hugging it all in” ERES- They are on the pricey side but they literally never go out of style and last forever!

Make the best out of every moment! This too shall pass…

Thank you for reading, and enjoy your summer.

I want to share with you why at this age I actually feel stronger and younger than I did 10 years ago, and how taking one supplement has energized my world.

When I look back to my 40s, I felt really good. But I’m not sure I felt as strong mentally and physically as I do now. I am a lover of physical fitness and have been for many, many years. For the past several months I’ve been taking the supplement TRU NIAGEN®, a unique form of vitamin B3 that’s clinically proven to safely increase NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a critical coenzyme that helps your cells generate energy. HERE is the link to a recent blog post where you can read all about Tru Niagen, the supplement I plan on taking as long as I can.

Who doesn’t want to feel energized throughout the day? I’m keeping my eyes open to aging smart and feeling energized by boosting my NAD so I can accomplish more—including 8 of my go-to activities.

Paddleboarding

I have been enjoying paddleboarding for years, but one thing is for sure: The boards are large and a little on the heavy side. I need strength to carry it and I need the energy to keep up with my husband and son.

Feeling on Top of My Game

Being on land or water, it’s important to be aware of everything going on around you. With extra energy, I find it easier to be attentive to what’s important in my daily life, whether I’m driving, walking or at a meeting.

Alert During Fitness Classes

Fitting it in. I love showing up to my classes ready to go and energized. I used to only attend my classes in the morning because I would rarely have the energy to attend a class in the evening. Now I’m able to show up for the one that works for my home and work schedule—and because I’m not wiped out at the end of the day.

And After Fitness Class

These days, my muscles feel like they’re in great shape. For me, this means my muscles don’t feel as tight when I wake up or I’m sitting in front of my computer for hours. Our muscle cells do use NAD to recover from workouts (read more about that in my previous blog post) and maybe that’s helping.

Travelling

We are a travelling family and I no longer anticipate feeling exhausted after crossing time zones. I began taking Tru Niagen over the summer before we went to Europe. My energy levels were above and beyond what I would have expected. The jet lag just didn’t seem to get to me as much as usual.

Attending Social & Influencer Events

At least two to three days a week I’m at events in the morning or evenings, and sometimes both. I’ve also noticed there’s no need for mid-day caffeine to keep me on schedule.

Looking Good, Feeling Good

It’s no surprise that health starts at your cells, so perhaps it goes without saying that beauty does, too. I’ve written enough about my favorite designers that you probably know clothes make me feel beautiful… But so does this extra energy. When I’m going out with my friends, to events, or staging a photoshoot, I feel good from the inside out.

Aging Smart

Here’s what I’m most energized about. Taking Tru Niagen has helped me learn about my body, my mind, the science behind NAD, and how we can age smarter and stay healthy as we age. I will get behind that any day. That energizes my soul!

Eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep are the best ways to maintain your natural energy levels, but that’s not always possible. And, as we age we do lose NAD. Fortunately, I have discovered Tru Niagen for that extra boost that feels natural, and overall, I feel great!

UPDATE ON MY TRU NIAGEN EXPERIENCE

I wanted to share an update on why I continue to take TRU NIAGEN®. Maintaining a regular fitness schedule is important to me and It feels great when I show up to class alert and energized. I used to only attend classes in the morning because I would rarely have the energy to attend one in the evening because by that time I'd be running on empty. I've noticed such a difference and it feels great to not feel wiped out at the end of the day! I like to use the phrase "Aging Smart" from the inside out.
