The designer and founder of Mandalynn Swimwear shares her favorite things.
By By Lauren Bell | June 2016
Yoga mat: I try to get in a yoga sesh daily. My go-to for exercise, stress, and relaxation.
Mandalynn water bottle: I never drink enough water, and this helps me stay hydrated. Plus I have lots of cute stickers on it.
Velcro sandals: I got these after a
wedding in Peru. I think they are super stylish and they have some sentimental value.
Passport: Just in case.
Coconut oil: I use it for everything from hair, to skin, and cooking.
Cocoa butter chapstick: This is the ultimate in lip care. My grandma got me started on this one!
Chickpeas: I’ve been an on and off vegetarian for three years now. I love to cook, and these are a serious staple of my diet.
Canon AE-1: I’m far from a professional photographer, but I love playing around. This little gem takes amazing film and was super cheap.
Bikini: My bikinis double as underwear and yoga wear, so they are essential.
Pegaso backpack: I don’t go anywhere without it. It’s waterproof, so it is perfect for summer travels.
