Gumbies for Your Footies

Last January at Surf Expo I had the pleasure of visiting the Gumbies' booth.  What made this interesting was the fact that more and more Aussie surfing brands are making their way into the American market.

Gumbies Island Flip Flops are made for the beach or the surf lifestyle.  I love the catch phrase "World Wide Walkbout - The Quest for the Perfect Flip Flop". Designed by Michel Maurer, his flip flops are worn around the world.

At the September Surf Expo I met Jose Copin manning the Gumbies booth. We talked about the flip flop design and how the American market had grown since January's Surf Expo.  Jose said that Gumbies were being made available in more specialty surf shops in addtion to Amazon and on their website.  As I was leaving the booth Jose gave me a pair of the Gumbies Unisex Coast Flip Flops. HERE for their website and HERE for Amazon.
After wearing my Gumbies since the Surf Expo, I can truly say that my Gumbies are great to wear.  They hug your foot and are very light and comfortable to wear.  So if you are looking for a new pair of flip flops, why not give Gumbies a try.  Click

Until next time be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.

Anastasia Confections



Two times a year Surf Expo brings together literally 1,000s of surf lifestyle brands together under on roof.  Hidden among the swimsuit and resort rows are exhibitors exhibiting products that appeal to your sweet tooth.  Anastasia Confections was such an exhibitor.  Their specialty was Florida themed coconut patties and key lime cookies.  They had a basket of the single patties samples on their booth table which I could not resist. I tasted the key lime coconut and the classic coconut.  I will say that I have had a lot of candies that were similar  to the Anastasia Confections Coconut Patties.  But none of them were as flavorful as these.  I liked them both equally.  To order a box for yourself all you have to do is click HERE for their webpage.   If cookies and coconut bites are not enough, you can get any of their other confections where you can order them online.

As a child, living in South Carolina back during the 1950s and 60s our family summer trip was to go camping at Myrtle Beach, SC.  At least one night we would go to the Myrtle Beach Pavilion to stroll boardwalk and visit the shops like the Gay Dolphin Gift Cove or the Bowery with their bingo and foot long french fries. Part of out family tradition was to get a box or two of saltwater taffy. My grandmother who lived in New York City loved saltwater taffy.  We use to send her a box each
summer.  In the Anastasia booth they had saltwater taffy samples.  Trying one brought back loads of my memories of times past.  I do not know it eating saltwater taffy brings back your memories like it does for me, but I do know that their saltwater taffy is pretty damn good.  It is even kosher certified.  So why not order a bag when you order a box of their great coconut patties or cookies.

Until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.

Eye of Love Sunscreen

When you attend Surf Expo you are drenched in a deluge of the Surfing Lifestyle images from one side of the show to the other.  Part of the surfing lifestyle exhibitions which cannot go unnoticed is the sexuality that comes with row after row of swimsuit booths.  Tucked between swimsuit booths in the middle of one of the rows was the Eye of Love booth.

Eye of Love, what is Eye of Love?  Eye of Love is a collection of skincare products  that contains pheromones to attract the opposite sex. At Surf Expo they were showing their new SPF 30 Seduce and Flirt Pheromone Sunscreens that contains feminine pheromone to attract males and Fierce pheromone to attract females .  Also on display in the booth was the Eye of Love Rebel and Flirt After Sun Lotions. All of these skincare products had a very nice fragrance.

All of the Eye of Love Products can be ordered online. Click HERE for the Eye of Love webpage.  You can also find Eye of Love products on Amazon.com.  Eye of Love also has different types of products that contain pheromones like a candle.

Until next time, be safe in the sun (use a SPF 30 sunscreen from Eye of Love) and have a great day in the great outdoors.
