Colorful High Waist Bikinis for Summer

Summer is here which means bring on the bikinis! Not only do I love summer but I love all the bright fun colors that come along with it. On today’s blog I’m sharing three of my favorite high-waisted bikinis. They are so flattering and bright which will have heads turning at all your pool parties.

Size references I’m 5’7″ and 140 pounds

Bikini #1

This bikini is from Amazon, I got a medium and it fit great. The swimsuit wrap is from another bikini set that I will link here. I didn’t like the bikini that much but loved the coverup and matched it with this bikini instead. This bold pink is going to be all over this summer! It’s really flattering, comes in lots of different colors and has adjustable straps.

Bikini #2

This swimsuit is also from Amazon! In swimsuits I typically size up because I got a big butt. All those squats at the gym are finally paying off. This was a medium and the bottoms were a tad big but still wearable. This suit also come in bunch of different colors and prints, plus the straps are adjustable.

Bikini #3

This bikini is from Senita. They have the BEST workout clothes so I knew their swimsuits would be just as cute and high quality. The material on the swimsuit is really good quality and full coverage on the bottoms. I got a size small in the top and a medium on the bottoms, both fit perfectly. This bikini is a great color and supportive. You can use my code “BELLA15” and get 15% off for new customers. This code will work on their active wear items as well and I can’t say enough good things about this brand. You can check out some of their workout clothes on my Instagram! This exact suit is linked HERE for the top and HERE for the bottoms.

Which swimsuit is your favorite? Honestly I can’t pick, I LOVE them all. I guess I will just have to attend all the pool parties so I can wear these suits all summer long!

Rainbow Fruit Snack – St. Patrick’s Day

This year is flying by, we are already in March. On the blog today is a easy fruit rainbow you can make for any St. Patrick Day parties. We headed up to my in laws house for family time and it was huge hit. This dish is so easy which is probably why I loved it, work smarter not harder. You pick your favorite assortment of fruits that include all the colors of the rainbow.

Red: strawberries or raspberries

Orange: oranges, I used little Halo Oranges that way people don’t have to peel anything. or cantaloupe

Yellow: pineapple or banana

Green: green grapes or kiwi

Blue: blueberries or blackberries

Purple: purple grapes

Then add whip cream to one side to make it look like a cloud. On the other-side you can add chocolate coins as if the rainbow found the pot of gold. So in all honestly I forgot the chocolate coins at home and ended up using real coins for this blog. Luckily my in-laws had gold dollar coins we could use! Overall this is a fun and easy snack to make for any get together. If you give it a try be sure to tag me on Instagram!

THE Gluten-Free Snack You Are Missing!

There are just times you want some good comfort food but sometimes that comfort food doesn’t mix well with your dietary restrictions. Whether are looking for a healthy alternative or a gluten free snack Feel Good Foods is here to deliver delicious snacks!

My husband and I LOVE snacking but are trying to eat healthier. Finding Feel Good Foods at our local Wal-Mart has been great! We fell in love with these mac and cheese bits. Not only are these gluten-free but Feel Good Foods also use beef and chicken raised without antibiotics & cage-free eggs. So you can not only eat delicious snacks but truly feel good about it.

These snacks are very easy to make. I typically use my air fryer to cook most of the Feel Good Food products. This is the air fryer we have used for the last couple years and absolutely love it! I popped these mac and cheese balls in the air fryer at 400 for 20 mins. They came out so crispy and gooey. Then pair it with some marinara sauce and you have a perfect snack.

Feel Good Foods has other amazing snack products too, like spring roles ( chicken and vegetable), pot stickers ( chicken, pork and vegetable), mozzarella sticks and many more! Truly so many amazing gluten-free snacks to try. You don’t want to miss out on these tasty snacks and they are now at your local Wal-mart, Whole foods and Sprouts! If you try these snacks out let me know in the comments below how you liked them!

Tie-Dye Ruffle Dress for Spring!

Spring is here and the weather in Scottsdale, Arizona has been absolutely amazing. This week on the blog I’m sharing this fun spring tie-dye dress from Amazon!

This off-the-shoulder dress is great for spring and summer styles! I personally wore it this year at Easter brunch with my family and got so many compliments! I’m 5’7 and I got a size small, it’s a little short so if you have a long torso maybe think about sizing up. You can wear this dress with wedges or dress it down with some white strappy sandals.

Gift Idea for the Foodie in Your Life

Why is it during the holidays I find I’m buying more for myself than for others? Please don’t tell me I’m the only one, I can’t be right? Well even if you are buying a nice gift for yourself or someone in your family they will love this modern cutting board.

What I love about this cutting board by Hultzzzy it is a very high quality but also functional. Throughout 2020 my husband and I have been home a lot more this year and we have been trying lots of new recipes. This cutting board has a media slot barrier for your phone or tablet. This makes looking at a new recipes on Pinterest and cooking such a breeze.

It also has these handy acrylic trays that can make chopping and prepping very organized. Each weekend I like to prep/chop our veggies for the week and this cutting board has made it so easy. You just slide your chopped up veggies right into the tray. Overall anyone in your family who likes to cook or is just in the kitchen a lot would love this gift.

Hultzzzy is a local business in Phoenix, Arizona which just makes this an even more of an awesome gift idea. I love supporting local businesses throughout the year but especially this year, 2020 has been hard for so many people. Whether you are already a guru in the kitchen or just starting out, this cutting board will bring out the inner chef in you!

The Hultzzy graciously sent me their cutting board, but as always, opinions expressed on Hibbs Life & Style are independent and comprehensive. Bella Hibbs is the founder and CEO of Hibbs Life & Style.

A Hit Sweater Dress From Amazon for Fall

Rob and I went on a much needed date night to The Mission AZ at Kierland Commons in Scottsdale, AZ. We had such a wonderful time and the food was absolutely amazing. If you ever find yourself in Scottsdale, Arizona I would highly recommend eating at The Mission AZ. I would make a reservation and request to sit on the patio, it’s beautiful. I want to remind you as we move into the holiday season remember to check in with yourself and loved ones. This year is going to be different to say the least and your health is top priority.

The temps are finally cooling in Arizona ( HA only took to late November) and that means sweater dresses! I got this adorable sweater dress off amazon for only $37. I was happily surprised with how good the quality was of this dress plus it comes in 8 other colors. You could easily wear this for a fun date night or even to Christmas dinner! This sweater dress is so flattering, you will look stunning. I got a size small and I’m 5’7″ and 140 pounds.

4 Ways to Wear Faux Leather Leggings This Fall

Faux leather leggings are one of the hottest fall/winter trends you will be seeing all over social media. Check out my fun Instagram Reel video showing how to style Faux leather leggings 4 different ways!

These faux leather pants are not only extremely comfortable but they can be dressed up or down. This makes for a great closet staple. I got my leggings from Carbon 38 but there are tons of other brands selling similar pants. Carbon 38 is technically workout clothes but these leggings are just too nice to workout in! I like these leather pants because they give you enough compression but you can still breath. I have been wearing these leggings ALL the time so it’s worth the investment.

These faux leather leggings are so easy to style! Just pick the vibe you are going for and add on from there. You can pick sneakers and a graphic tee for a more causal daily look or grab a pair of heels and blouse for a night out.

Plus these leggings are so comfortable, they are a great alternative to wearing jeans but still looking put together. I swear this leggings make any outfit look more chic!

Glam Wine Tasting Outfit

This summer Rob and I had a wonderful time going to Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Washington state. It was so relaxing and great to get out of town. I found this fun dress at Target for only $50! I just thought it was so fun and bright I knew I had to wear it to the winery.

Not only was the wine delicious but Chateau Ste. Michelle did such a great job social distancing and still providing such a fun great experience. We did a wine tasting of all white wines and I even found a riesling that I totally loved! I’m typically not a huge Riesling drinker because it’s sweet. The Ste. Michelle Erocia is so perfect for the summer and isn’t sweet, I highlight recommend you give it a try. Finally, we were lucky the resident peacock came out to join us for some photo fun!
