Get Gear: Made By Dawn Swimwear

Let me say this first: I'm really happy with my body because it's deceivingly strong (seriously guys!). I can lift heavy, run far and climb high without too much trouble. But I've also been called scrawny more than once and fact of the matter is, it's hard to find a bathing suit that doesn't hang off of me like a trash bag.

Enter Made By Dawn, a line of figure-hugging bathing suits for smaller girls. She recently sent me her Shell Picker bikini as a thank you and I'm in love! It fits well, doesn't budge and—get this—has little pockets for collecting shells at the beach! If you're a smaller girl, do yourself a favor and get yourself a Made By Dawn swimsuit. 

See? Pockets!
