Lime Ricki Swimsuits

Me, on Survivor Caramoan--wearing a Lime Ricki
swimsuit (with paint on it).

Even though Lime Ricki didn't ask me to do this, I feel like I should at least mention their kindness ...

Contestants on Survivor are asked to submit/use their own swimsuits for gameplay--with a few restrictions/conditions: we are usually given a certain color scheme. (I think there are a few exceptions where wardrobe selects a bathing suit for players, but for the most part, we each purchase our own bathing suits.)

When I played Survivor I wanted my clothing, if at all possible, to support a local Utah company (without them knowing--because we can't have any sponsorships).

So both times I played I submitted Lime Ricki bathing suits for CBS' review. They are a local Utah swimwear company, and I have worn their suits for a few years now.

Oddly, the first time I played, CBS ended up mixing and matching my Lime Ricki bottoms with a Target top (Survivor South Pacific). But for Survivor Caramoan, I was able to wear both Lime Ricki swimsuit top and bottom. Yay!

I love Lime Ricki suits! They are colorful, comfortable, have great coverage, and were perfect for the game. (Even if some people called my suit a gardening glove! Haha.)

 And if that weren't enough reason to like them, when I returned from the game, Lime Ricki had heard I wore their suit, so they wrote me a super kind handwritten card thanking me AND gave me a HUGE shopping spree/gift certificate to go with it!

 It was very kind of them. And super unexpected.

 So, if you're in the market for a modest, fun bathing suit, I'd totally visit one of their storefronts (Provo/Salt Lake City) or website. They are good peeps!

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
