There’s not much better than spending a sweltering New York afternoon on an air conditioned private yacht, complete with lunch, cocktails, fun conversation with fashionable friends, plus a hefty goody bag! So my Wednesday afternoon was pretty much perfect, since that’s just what I did. Hawaiian Tropic & Glam Media hosted the ‘Things We Love’ Summer Sail and it was full of, well, things I love.


On board the Atlantica, I immediately ran into some of my favorite bloggers, and spent time chatting with them over wine and cheese. After the boat took off, we were brought down to the lower deck for a full lunch spread (and more wine), where I met a few reps from Hawaiian Tropic. Over lunch, while we cruised past Lady Liberty, another rep, Anthony, spoke to us about Hawaiian Tropic’s new products, including Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ Lotion Sunscreen.

The new Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen is the only sun protection with extra luxurious hydrating ribbons to pamper your skin with 12 hour moisturization. The hydrating ribbons are infused with luxurious silk protein and rich shea butter, so it pampers and protects skin. Also, the sunscreen is available in SPF 12, 30 and 50, and provides safe and effective broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection that won’t break down in the sun, along with nourishing antioxidants, exotic island botanicals, a warm tropical fragrance and a lightweight, non-greasy feel.

Oh, and that giant goody bag I mentioned? It was a Lands End Natural Zip Tote in filled with Hawaiian Tropic Shimmer Effect Coconut Papaya After Sun Lotion and Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF 50, plus other fun stuff like Dove Clear Tone Skin Renew Clinical Protection Deodorant, Echo Design Bikini Bags, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil, Fekkai Summer Hair After Sun Daily Mask, a Flywheel gift card, Goody Quik Style Paddle Brush, Nest Fragrances Votive Candle, OPI Nail Polish, Philip B Katira Hair Masque, Jeff Lewis & Shoshanna Gruss Collections for Reach Toothbrushes, Sonia Kashuk cosmetic Bag, Starbucks Refreshers Sparkling Green Coffee Energy Beverage, Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm, Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer, and an Ettika Jewelry adjustable Neon Satin Cord bracelet with gold Faceted Beads. Back upstairs we were treated to more goodies: Sanuk Women’s Ibiza Stitch Sandals and customized dessert – DIY ice cream sandwiches from CoolHaus!

What a relaxing day it was. I didn’t want to get off the boat! Although the fun for that day came to an end, I’m excited to start trying out all the amazing products from the goody bag. And with this upcoming Memorial Day weekend – aka beach weekend – having the Hawaiian Tropic Shimmer Effect Coconut Papaya After Sun Lotion and Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF 50 on hand couldn’t have come at a better time!
