Here at Lifestyles Direct Tan Through Swimwear, we love our customers!  We love to hear what you think about our product and how we can serve you better!

We are anxious every year to hear what you all think about our new prints and new styles that we offer.  This helps us to give you what you want and we know that if you all don't like what we offer, you'll go somewhere else for your bikinis and tan through swimsuits.  We don't want that.  We recently added the tankini bikini top and it has been very successful.  We would have never known to add it if some of you hadn't communicated your desire to see it in our swimwear line.  Thank you for your input!

We also like to hear how our customer service can improve.  We get lots of folks that comment about our great customer service and we love to hear how we have made you happy.  However, without some constructive criticism, our service is slower to improve.  Let us know what you think we can improve.  It will make our company better for everyone!

Get started today with your comments and constructive criticisms by writing us on our contact page.  You may also call at 417-293-5081.

Have a great week!

Why buy tan through swimwear?  With hundreds of swimwear brands out there, why choose a swimsuit that you can tan thru?  Let's discuss some very good reasons.  The tiny pores allow very quick drying of the swimsuit.  The fabric is light.  There is no thick padding so it packs very compactly in your suitcase for vacation.  With Lifestyles Direct Tan Through Swimwear, the fabric will not snag on rough surfaces.  The swimsuit can aid in a psoriasis sufferer's phototherapy.  We don't want to forget the main feature of tan through swimwear; you can tan thru the swimming suit, leaving, at least, lesser tan lines.

Our customers' favorite feature of our tan through swimsuits is the fact that it dries extremely quickly.  The tiny pores let the sunlight and air through so your swimsuit cannot remain soggy and wet for long.  This also makes it impossible for your skin to stay wet and uncomfortable.  Dry, happy skin makes a happier you!

Slipping on a heavy garment when it's hot is not desirable!  Our swimwear is similar to going nude because the fabric is so light.  In fact, many nudists choose Lifestyles Direct for the occasions when they must wear a swimsuit and it makes them feel as close to freedom as is possible.  

No one likes to check bags at the airport.  It costs more and it costs time.  Packing items that are more compact to begin with is a step in the direction of freedom from checked luggage.  Many swimsuits are lined and padded so that they resemble fat suits instead of swimwear.  Get a swimsuit that has no padding and can be held easily in the palm of your hand.  Less is definitely more here!

Most swimwear will snag on concrete and Velcro™.  We all hate that.  Our swimwear has a no-snag guarantee.  How's that for different?  We have vigorously tested it with Velcro™ and it is most definitely extremely snag resistant!  This means no more pilling and picking on the poolside tile or concrete and no more ruined swimsuit after one outing!

We have customers that have found relief and benefit from their psoriasis symptoms from the use of our tan through swimwear.  The sunlight passes to their skin, especially areas that is not normally exposed to the sun's rays, like the hip area and the buttocks.  One customer in particular claims that she would not wear any other swimwear for this reason.

Finally, tan through bathing suits allow the sunlight to pass through to your skin and your skin becomes tanner in the process.  The fabric acts as a sun screen of sorts (about 10 SPF) depending on the stretch of the fabric and the sun's angle.  The more the pores are opened, the more sunlight there is allowed through the fabric to your skin.  In the very least, you will passively have less intense tan lines.  If you are diligent by applying a matching sunscreen to uncovered skin and move seams and straps, you can achieve an all over tan without tan lines.  

If an ordinary conventional swimsuit is a-okay with you, then that's okay.  If you like extraordinary experiences, come see us at Lifestyles Direct!

Choosing a swimsuit can be very frustrating.  Standing in a department store looking at rack after rack of different styles and colors can be enough to send you screaming from the store.  There are a few things to look at when choosing your swimwear.

One of the easiest things to figure out is which color/colors look the best on you.  It can be as simple as grabbing your best friend and having them look while you model different colored clothing to see what compliments your skin and hair color.  From your deductions you can choose which colors you like the most and go with those.  

A little more difficult hurdle is trying to choose the style that best fits us.  In this process, we may have to give up our illusions and finally come to grips with the fact that we need to be wearing a different style than we have always chosen.  For example, giving up the string bikini for a tankini or one piece swimsuit.  Knowing your body type is important in this process.  Do you have wide hips and narrow shoulders?  Do you have a straight figure?  Whatever your shape, you can find a swimsuit that fits well and compliments your body shape.

A good example for guidance is fitting the pear shaped woman.  Her shoulders are narrower than her hips.  The trick is balancing the look.  Try a swimsuit that draws the eyes away from the hips toward the shoulders or chest.  This swimsuit might have embellishment on the straps or shoulders. It might have a structured cup or a V-neck.  All of these features will draw the eyes away from the hips and toward the neck.

Another example would be the straight-figured woman.  She is commonly called a banana in body-shape-speak.  She might opt to choose a bikini or a swimsuit that accentuates what curve she does have.  A monokini with cut out sides will give the appearance of curves.  A bikini with triangle top and string bottom will also give the illusion of curves.

Need help choosing your next swimsuit?  We are dedicated to helping our customers!  Drop us a line or give us a call at 417-293-5081.  We will do our best to answer any questions that you may have.

Well, it's that time of year again.  It's the time of year when we have all had enough cold weather and long for some warmer temps and outdoor activities.  We dream of summer nights at the lake.  We open our swimwear drawer with longing.  Will those sweet times ever return?  Of course, they will.  They have all of our lives, but we still want the time to rush past so we can do our favorite things again.

One of the things we all can do to prepare for those great times is to start planning those summertime camping trips and vacations now.  Climb into the attic or delve into the garage storage boxes to find your tents, swim noodles, and folding chairs.  Open your swimsuit storage area and see if you need a new swimsuit or two and coverups for that summer fun.  

Another preparation can be to start asking friends and family if they are up for a trip this summer.  Going on vacation with friends and/or family can make it more interesting and more fun.  You get the opportunity to make more memories with the ones you love.

Think of the things you want to experience and prepare for them by buying the gadgets that could make them way cooler.  GoPro cameras are great for active folks.  Electronic readers are perfect for the beach lounger.  Snorkel gear and flippers are awesome if you like the water.  Dive sticks are fun for the kids and will keep them occupied for hours.

Whatever your dreams are for the summertime months, think ahead and prepare so you can make the best of the time you have.  You will actually be able to save more money if you don't plan at the last moment.  Look for clearance sales and coupons at your favorite stores and websites, like Lifestyles Direct Tan Through Swimwear.  We always have a clearance page and run discount coupons regularly.

See ya next time!

Having trouble sticking to your New Year's Resolution?  Already ditched it for french fries and the couch?  Is it too hard to change?  Keep your head up!  Positive change is always worth it!  

Change helps us to get stronger.  If it is true change, it is usually difficult.  If it is difficult, your will or mind or body has to use its "muscles" to perform the new task.  If it's a bad habit that has to be whipped, it takes discipline and intentional actions to create a good habit to take its place.  Don't let the difficulty of change get in your way; the results of hard work is always good!

Change makes us look at the world differently.  If our resolution is to be a better person, then we start to look at other people in a different way.  We will start to see people for what they are--people.  There's a good chance that in the past, we looked at other people as obstacles in the way of our progress or nuisances.  To be better people we have to slow down and look more closely at others' needs.  We naturally become more empathetic and caring.

Change will inevitably make us happier.  If we have put in hard work and see results of our effort, we will naturally feel better about ourselves and our lives.  For example, if I lose weight, I always want to go buy new clothes, including new swimwear.  It makes me feel like I'm a new person.  It makes me want to celebrate and it makes me look at life differently, like I'm a new person.

Word of advice?  Stick with it! It will be worth the effort and self-discipline.  Who knows, you may get on a roll and change lots of stuff in your life!

See you all next time!

There are lots of activities to enjoy in the Sunshine State. Most people think of the usual ones like swimming, visiting Disneyworld, fishing, or embarking on a cruise.

One that most people may not consider is gator watching along the Tamiami Trail.  During a recent drive along this southern route between Miami and Naples, we saw dozens of the giant reptiles sunning themselves along the canals in the swampland.  Granted, the sunning of the alligators is not a very exciting sight to see, but when they get warmed up, they start crossing the roads and swimming around.  

Another good way to see the alligators is by taking an airboat tour of the Everglades.  You can find many airboat tour companies just by watching the billboards along the highways.  In fact, there are several that can be hired on the Tamiami Trail alone.  I've never personally taken an airboat ride, but it sure looks fun to me!

If looking for gators are not your cup of tea, the bird-watching is spectacular.  You can see many different wading birds, hawks, eagles, and lots more.  Many people stop to photograph the birds in the trees that grow very close to the highway.  It's amazing how much more you see when you slow down to merely look.

All of us here at Lifestyles Direct Tan Through Swimwear hope that you make time for a Florida vacation soon.  There is lots to do and see.  However, if you go, don't forget to stock up on your tan through bikinis and one piece swimsuits.  There's no sense in wasting all that time in the sunshine!

With your questions or comments, drop us a line or call us at 417-293-5081.

The list of health benefits of dry, comfortable skin seems endless.  Reduce chafing, which can be a problem with wet clothing.  If you are a psoriasis sufferer, you can get much needed sunlight to those nether regions which rarely see the light of day.  Greatly reduce the incidence of yeast infections and jock itch caused by moisture.  Our swimwear will dry so quickly that the fungus has no time to grow and obtain a foothold.
