Review and Giveaway Cabana Life

Be Cool, Smart and Stylish while you're Covering Up

By Diana Cole, Publisher Sandy Springs Dunwoody Macaroni Kid May 30, 2014
A while ago, I was looking on Facebook on some childhood friends.   Admit it, we all do it.   I looked up Alyssa Rockland and saw that she co-founded a company called Cabana Life with Melissa Marks Papock.     Alyssa and I have known each other since we were three or four. 
(I am wearing the blue bikini, Alyssa is wearing the black bottom bathing suit).

I reached out to Alyssa because I loved what Cabana Life was trying to get across to the public.  “Cabana Life is a socially-conscious company that strives to increase skin cancer education through numerous strategic partnerships with non-profit organizations such as Huntsman Cancer Institute, The Skin Cancer Foundation, Women's Dermatologic Society, Shade Foundation, and many others.  Cabana Life combines fashion with function by offering stylish clothing with 50+ UV protection through patented SkinSafe™ Technology. The collection offers a variety of beach-essentials including bathing suits, hats, cover-ups, tunics, shirts, and pants for boys, girls, and women. These "beach club chic" styles have garnered a celebrity following that includes Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marcia Gay Harden, Jack Black, and Lisa Kudrow.”  Cabana Life has the honor of being Oprah’s favorite Rashguard.

So the beautiful, Alyssa sent me the Sunset Beach 1pc & Cover Up Set for my 9 year old daughter and myself the Clementine Tunic Top Cover Up for a purpose of a review, my opinions are my own though.

My daughter (9) LOVES the bathing suit and cover up.   She loved the vibrant colors and how beautiful the pattern was.   I love the fact she is provided with 50+ UV Protection and block 98% UVA & UVB rays.  I also loved that it fit her peanut of a body, perfectly.
 
Your little girl will be cozy apres swim in our super soft, breathable terry dress, and you'll have the comfort of knowing she is being protected while she dries off. This terry tunic dress features colorful twill tape, bell sleeves and an orange button neck closure. It's not just a cover up! This versatile silhouette can be worn everywhere.  

I threw the clementine tunic top on with a pair of shorts.   If I could had slept in it, I would have.  It was so comfortable.  Think of the most comfy towel you own.  The UPF 50+ cover up is made of soft, luxurious nylon/spandex swim fabric. Wear it splashing in the surf or throw it on with crisp white bottoms for lunch, shopping or dinner. You'll want to travel everywhere with this versatile, wrinkle-resistant shirt. 

Wear it in the water, wear it to lunch. It's such an easy choice, at SUCH great prices.  Nothing at Cabana Life tops around $100

Not only does Cabana Life have an adorable selection for your daughter and yourself, but they carry boy and men products as well.  In addition, they also carry accessories like hats, beach bags, shoes, sunglasses, and of course sun screen.  All of the accessories, are built in with sun protection!   
All Cabana Life styles provide 50+ UV Protection and block 98% UVA & UVB rays.  

We all know how dangerous going out into the sun without sunscreen is.  Recently my friend Desiree Miller wrote on her blog Stress Free Baby, about her experience with skin cancer.    Please, please wear sunscreen!  Sun protection is critical at every age, and with Cabana Life you can be cool, smart and stylish while you're covering up. 

Alyssa and Melissa generously offered a 25% off your entire order to Sandy Springs Dunwoody Macaroni Kid readers till June 15, 2014.  Please use the code: MACKIDSSD25  at Cabana Life.
