Hey my fishes!

Let's talk about some of my favourite mermaid habits to start RIGHT NOW!

So much more goes into a successful mermaid swim than just showing up at the pool and throwing on a mermaid tail.

​This isn't H2O my fishes, this is the REAL mermaid world and we need to take care of ourselves and our tails.

So let's dive in!

Habits to start NOW

1. Mermaid Tail Care
  • Use a gentle detergent to wash your mermaid tails after EVERY SINGLE SWIM.
  • Take care of stains early to avoid buildup that is harder to remove later on.
  • Fix damaged areas right away! Contact your tail maker if you need to for guidance.
  • Be super gentle with your mermaid tail, treat it like you would treat your own skin/body.

​2. Hair Care and Skin Care
  • ​Keep it simple when it comes to makeup for mermaiding. Everyone wants the fancy makeup, but let's be honest, it doesn't really show up underwater and it can kind of ruin the vibe sometimes. Darker eye shadow, highlighter, maybe a little lipstick is all you really need.
  • Wash your face after swimming!
  • Don't let chlorine sit in your hair! Rinse your hair out right away and then show your hair some love with a hair mask.
  • Rinse out your eyes with artificial tears.
  • Moisturize your skin!

3. Fuel Your Body
  • Eat good whole foods that will fuel you, rather than bog you down at the pool.
  • Take supplements like Vitamin B 50 Complex, Vitamin C, make sure to get your Calcium and Magnesium in, and make sure to replace those lost electrolytes!
  • Don't overdo it! Care for your body after your swims and making sure you are properly warmed up before hitting the pool.
Make your reason for doing these things stronger than your strongest excuse. We need to build some habits!

Always remember to look at that bigger picture.

Get up off the couch, wash your tail, care for your hair, eat good food, and form some new routines!

Let's hit those mermaid goals hard when we can finally get back to the pool my fishes!

Happy swimming!
