The Best Scalloped Swim Suit for Under $125

Are you looking for a great scalloped swim suit? I'm rounding up the best ones for under $125!Scalloped Swim Suit: This black one piece is perfect on a pear shape body!Funny story about taking these bathing suit pictures.  First of all, yes we took them in JANUARY.  And I understand that in most other parts of the country, it's freezing.  It happened to be an 80 degree day in Los Angeles, and I thought……let's give those bathing suits a spin.  This new scalloped swim suit was one I picked up for a couple of spring break trips we have planned, and I was chomping at the bit to give it a test drive (side note, last minute bathing suit shopping pretty much always ends in tears for me…..so now when I see a great swim suit I buy it and save until needed).

So, on a sunny day in January I headed to Santa Monica to a public beach and pool area.  By the time I got there it was filled with families also enjoying that warm weather.  Now, I understand that I rolled up to the pool with a photographer.  And that may look ridiculous.  But, the interaction I had with another mother left me sort of lost in thought.  We were at the pool for MAYBE 45 minutes total.  On the side where we weren't disrupting anyone.  And I GET that it may look weird to be having someone take pictures of you in a bathing suit.  Especially when you are clearly not model size.  Who do I think am?

Lifestyle blogger, Lipgloss & Crayons shares her favorite scalloped bathing suits for a pear shape body!Well, here's what got to me.  The SIDE EYE I got from a couple of moms.  I'm sure they thought I looked ridiculous.  Who did I think was? Why in the world would some random lady need these pictures?  And the thing I noticed?  These same women? Were hiding in coverups and shorts.  Is there a connection? If we're uncomfortable with our own bodies are we more likely to criticize and judge others?  

Until very recently, I was that mom hiding in a cover up at the pool with her daughter.  And I wonder if that slanted my view of other women and how comfortable THEY felt?  I do think they're connected.  Complimenting other women? With a smile, a comment, a thumbs up……guess what that does? It helps us to start complimenting ourselves.  So my challenge to y'all (and myself)…..even if YOU aren't ready to flaunt it in a bathing suit at the pool or beach? Compliment someone who is.  I promise it will take you one step closer to being proud of your own body in a bathing suit.

    The reason I clicked on your Pinterest post is because your thighs are close friends and your body does not look like the typical size 4 posting pics in a swimsuit. I’m also comfortable in a swimsuit (at a size 14), granted I want it to have plenty of tummy control! I absolutely love your post, You have a great shape and I adore that suit on you!!

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
