We’re off to the Billabong XXL Awards tonight, so this today’s tee DIY had to be a little more class-ay to make the evening’s outfit cut. A low back tank is always a winner, and extra hardware adds some needed edge to this oh-so soft tri-blend tee. Read on for instructions on how to make your own in about 10 minutes. (more…)

Pull-ups, squats, sprints, cardio, yoga, lunges, push ups, stretching, core work, warming up … the stairmaster. There is some exercise out there that you hate doing. Well, here’s some even better news. It’s probably what you need to be doing. Exercises in the “I hate doing” category are usually there because, well…you are weak at it. I used to hate pull-ups, because I couldn’t do any. Now I can do a bunch, and I must admit, I definitely don’t mind them anymore. I hate stretching, becasue I’m extremely inflexible. So yeah. I need to definitely stretch more.

My advice? If you hate it, you should probably be doing that exercise until you don’t hate it anymore. It has some pretty good results.

Cinco De Mayo Party EssentialsSet aside the rest of May to apologize for what you're going to do this Cinco de Mayo

May 1st, 2013 | By | 2 Comments

Cant decide between a margarita or a beer this Cinco de Drinko? Then combine the best of both booze with a “Beerita” Its a tasty new-school cocktail that looks loco, but can also mellow out a overly saccharine margarita.

Recipe:
2 Part Reposado Tequila
1 Part Cointreau
1 whole lime, squeezed
Limeade to taste
1 Large glass, stable base
Ice
1 Mexican Beer
Straws

CERVEZARITA

Directions: Pour Tequila, Cointreau, Lime & Limeade over ice in shaker. Shake until chilled, pour into steady serving glass, stopping 2-4 inches from the top. Open beer bottle, quickly upturn beer into the margarita.

As you slurp down the drink, the beer will naturally and evenly empty into the glass. Enjoy your cervazarita, beerita, or whatever you call it responsibly.

Maaji 2013 Collection + WIN IT!

Made in Colombia, with love…as well as fun prints, top shelf quality and plenty on Summer inspiration. Made for surf, sand and anything else under the sun, the Maaji Swim 2013 collection brings a new wave of signature, mixed print bikinis. Named “Seaside Reverie Collection,” the whimsical ‘kinis are both playful and playable (ie – the thick fabric stays in place whilst frolicking in the waves). And as if the prints weren’t enough, each piece is reversible, so you have double the style options.

And quite possibly the BEST added bonus:
In an effort to protect your style AND the oceans, Maaji plants a tree for each suit sold. Planting a tree helps to prevent erosion, decreasing the amount of sediment that ends up in our oceans, lakes and rivers. An added bonus: each suit comes with a unique code that can be used to see where your tree was planted! To date, over 50,000 trees have been planted!
