Mermaiding- I couldn't write an article on this blog without mentioning mermaiding! Mermaiding is fun and magical activity that can make you feel alive, gliding through cool waters, surrounded by sun and nature. With a monofin you can really zip through the water, making you feel like a real mermaid. My favorite tail is a Finfun mermaid tail, or a Magictail Mermaid pro tail.
Check out my review on Finfun tails.
You don't have to have a disappointing camping trip due to high winds. Make the most of a blustery day by sporting a mermaid kite. I love seeing them glide through the air, so majestic. Flying a kite always makes me feel like I have a bird on a leash and I'm guiding it.
