Starting a Blog

Bikini Slayer was born in 2010 when I needed an escape from day-to-day corporate office life.  Daydreaming of past summers and thinking of waves crashing, sandy toes, and the smell of suntan lotion would always take me back to my happy place.  Bikini Slayer was my creative outlet which allowed me to return to the carefree days of fun in the sun.  I've always had a passion for fashion and beauty - and it's no surprise that my blog allowed me to express myself even though I wasn't sure what others thought.  Let me remind you, this was back before Instagram influencers were a "thing" so as I was posting and brands reached out to send products, I was over the moon!  

Not long after its inception, sometime in February of 2012, and after seeing the success that I was bringing brands from wearing and posting their products, I decided to transition Bikini Slayer into an online retail boutique full of only the best and most sought-after swimwear and the like.  After 11 years of running the online e-comm store, all while working and ditching corporate life in 2019 to launch my own engineering firm, I sadly decided that it was time to close the e-comm store in June of 2023.  The end of an era for sure!

Life has evolved in many ways since starting the blog, but I still love to share everything from my personal motivation to home decor, fitness, fashion, beauty, recipes, family, and everything in between.  I truly love what I do and want to motivate you to be the best version of yourself.  I absolutely love hearing from you about a pair of sunglasses or words of motivation that I've posted, such a wonderful feeling and I am thankful for it every day!  It’s all about looking good and feeling good and putting yourself first.  Stay tuned to learn more about me, what I like, how I spend my free time, and most importantly – my passion for fashion!
