Swimwear for little girls

You know what I realized this morning while packing my daughter's backpack for a day camp?
My poor baby does not have a decent swim suit!
After taking swimming classes twice a week during the whole school year, her 1-piece was mercilessly eaten by the chlorine in the pool. It is now a stretched-out, pale pinky thing that barely resembles that cute little bright neon pink/white striped swim suit with a saturated navy trim, I purchased just last year.

"My little princess deserves beauty"- I declared, and started a search on a mighty Internet.

I needed something stylish ( of course!), not too childish, not overly sweet or cutesy, NOT anything with Disney characters on it, and not expensive.

Here is my round up of little girls swimwear that are cute, bold and most importantly AFFORDABLE!
Because you know you going to buy her a new one next year!

Mojito - Turks and Caicos style

Sweet and tart wave of mint and lime slowly brings the long awaited coolness...
Hmmm... I can still feel the breezy warm air, and the hot sand stuck under my fingernails...

Every time I take a sip of a good Mojito, I get transfered to the beautiful island of Turks and Caicos.

It took a few days of stalking our beach bartender, but I finally had a receipe for this divine drink that I am sharing with you today.

Perhaps, this weekend, when the grill is finally taking a break, and everyone is so stuffed -they can't move, this refreshing drink will be just what you need.

Turks and Caicos Pineapple Mojito

You will need:

• Lime
• Ice
• White rum ( Bambarra Silver is what he used)
• Mint
• Special sugar syrup
• Juice of your preference
• Shaker

First, prepare the Special sugar syrup ( you can keep the rest in the fringe, indefinitely)

Combine white sugar+brown sugar+honey with water ( 1:1 sweet mixture to water)

Slowly simmer until everything melts into a slighly thickened laquid/ syrop

Cool.

Now, you are ready to put the drink together!

1. Combine in a skaker:  8 leaves of mint + 1/2 lime juice+ 2-3 ice cubes 
2. Shake, shake, shake to break up the mint with ice
3. Add another1/2 lime juice, 5 tsp of syrup, 4 tbsp rum
4. Shake, shake, shake to mix all together.
5. Fill the 3/4 glass with ice
6. Pour the mixture from the shaker over the ice ( up to you to strain or not, I actually like the pieces of mint in my drink, so I dont strain)
7. Top of with a splash of Pineapple juice 

ENJOY!
