Holy Trinity of Swimwear

Holy Trinity of Swimwear

We are dynamic beings. We flow with the moon’s magnetic swells and surge with the sun’s pulsing flares. We are refined elemental creations. We are the phases and the seasons and the transitions in between. 

May we embody this elemental beauty, and adorn ourselves befittingly!

Manakai Swimwear's Top Picks: Sustainable Lifestyle Bloggers

Leading a sustainable lifestyle that puts the health of our planet in the number one spot seems like it should be easy, but with societal norms being centered around cheap, convenient, and accessible, the struggle is real. Sometimes a little inspiration from amazing eco-warrioresses around the world is needed to help start a new eco-habit or to reinforce the fact that even the smallest changes can make a lasting impact.
