Bikini and underwear shopping is something I always dread because I don't feel the most confident when it comes to changing rooms, I mean... they aren't the best of places to see yourself half naked, are they?
After searching high and low for the perfect "flat chested bikini", a bikini where I could embrace my lack of boobies, I then decided against the idea since they 1. didn't look attractive at all and 2. they didn't help me feel my most confident.
I eventually had a look online and whilst scrolling the h&m website I came across this lovely floral print bikini that I was obsessed with so I decided to go to the shop and try it on and it was the one!





Despite the fact I loved (and still love) the red floral print one, I instead bought a more simple, plain black one with a tiny bit of tan and white detailing, and this more tropical printed one.
I am honestly really, really happy with my purchase, not only do the range of bikinis look amazing but they are rather affordable, really supportive and super comfy!
I don't know about you but I will definitely be saving up to buy more from the range!

          As most of you may or may not know, I live in Spain and the temperatures here aren't exactly mild, they get quite unbearable. High temperatures is good for some things like going to the pool or the beach and laying around in the sun, but bad for those bodies, I hate getting my skinny, non toned body out, so this year I am doing a "bikini exercise routine" to hopefully prepare myself a little more for this summer.

  I'm not hoping for a Kim K body or anything like it, but I am really enjoying doing these exercises at least once a day and it makes me feel much better about myself, and hopefully there will be a slight improvement after a couple of months, especially with all the pain in my muscles I have been putting up with.
For those of you who may want to try out a exercise routine, mine is a quick and simple 8 minute routine that easily makes those muscles burn.
