Triangl Swimwear

In light of my upcoming trip to Mexico, I was scouring the internet looking for new bathing suits. I didn't want to go with Victoria's Secret as that's pretty much the only suits girls in this area wear and I wanted something a little different. I was looking on Pinterest one day and came across this picture: 


 I love black and white so this immediately caught my eye. I typed in the website that was under the pin and was instantly in love. Triangl is a brand based out of Australia that makes all of their suits out of neoprene, the material that wetsuits are made of. They have a few different styles but the 'Chloe' fit that is in the picture was my favorite. The bikinis are all decently priced as well at just $79.00USD for the set! Although it was the white 'Indiana Ice' that first caught my eye, I decided to go with 'Minnesota Marle', a really cool grey color. I just figured I would get the white one dirty way too quickly and possibly ruin it somehow so grey was a safer bet. 


This is just a quick picture I snapped of it but I am completely in love with it! I am fit and in decent shape but in no way have the perfect body and this suit is extremely flattering. I'm not sure if it is the thicker fabric or just the cut of it but it's great. I was unsure of sizes when placing my order so I went off of the size chart on the Triangl website and everything worked out great. I was between the medium and large for the bottoms but just asked one of the Triangl girls on their live chat function and she told me to go with the bigger size. I got large in both the top and bottom and usually take a medium or sometimes small in other brands. The shipping was crazy fast as well. I ordered it on a Friday morning and it was on my doorstep when I got home from school Wednesday evening. I'm super excited to get to wear it on my trip. I definitely want to get more, especially this 'New York Noir' one.

I've always loved traveling. Every little thing about it. Ever since I can remember, I have been completely in love with going new places. Although I have had this desire to travel going as far back as I can remember, I haven't gotten the chance to really go many places. Sure I've traveled a little bit around the nice little country I call home (aka Canada), but I can't really say I've had the opportunity to experience many other countries and their cultures'. And it is one thing I definitely want to change.

When I was approximately 10 years old I got an idea in my head of exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up and it stuck with me for a long time. I went through high school, took certain classes, made sure my grades were up to par, and made my post-secondary decisions completely based on this idea. And then of course, two years into university or half way through completing my degree, I decided that actually I didn't really want to be doing that for the rest of my life. I'm now just about to go into my fourth and final year of university and I have no idea what exactly I want to do with my degree. It's a little bit scary for me, not having a plan. I have definitely had some mini panic attacks over the past year about it and my friends can attest to that. With less than a year away from completely being done school, I have decided that my plan for once I'm done is going to be to travel. To see new places and try new things while I'm still young and have nothing tying me down to one place. Because really, if you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.
