Hot Chia Porridge

What a wild few weeks! We were hit by big storms in Tassie and our home and office were without power for 6 days. It was a challenge keeping on top of work during this time, but I feel like I am finally coming out of the catch-up phase. 😅 Thanks for your patience if you were waiting on a reply to an email or DM during this time.

We had another fabulous Sheila May photoshoot last week - I am constantly blown away by how upbeat and enthusiastic my beautiful models are at each of our photoshoots. We were blessed with a sunny morning, but the air was fresh and the wind was high! This new collection will be launching in about 2 weeks time - you are going to LOOOOVE it!

This week I am going to be introducing you to our TWO new bottom styles. I can't wait to hear what you think about them!! One of these styles has been requested by the one and only Nat Angel - she is going to be doing a try-on for us in a couple of weeks and I know they are going to sell like hot cakes!

Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate reaching 20K followers on Instagram this week. I don't usually make a fuss about achievements like that as I try to keep Sheila May Swim more focused on building a beautiful community and listening to our customers rather than pushing for more likes and follows. However, this milestone really is a testament to how many supportive, caring, like-minded women we have in the Sheila May Swim community. I truly am grateful that you choose to spend a pocket of your time with me.

Talk soon,

P.S. We have been eating this delicious Hot Chia Porridge on repeat...it's so tasty and keeps me full until the afternoon!
