Travel with BFAW: St. Lucia Edition

Posted by Dylan Patterson · April 03, 2020

Two months ago I was able to go on vacation with my family in St Lucia. St Lucia is an incredibly beautiful island in the eastern Caribbean. It's home to the breathtaking Piton mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, amazing reefs teeming with tropical fish, and lush rainforests.

Here's a list of must do activities while in St Lucia….

Florida's Hidden Treasure: Springs

Posted by Dylan Patterson · March 05, 2020

I love bragging about my home state of Florida, I was born here, grew up here, and now have my business here. It's safe to say i'm a big fan of Florida, but it's the laid back vibe, warm weather, and outdoor activities that make me stay.

Most people from out of state think of beaches, Disney World and Miami as the the top must sees when they visit Florida. I agree all three are totally worth visiting but there is so much more to do and see. I’m going to let you in on another great place to visit the next time you are in the sunshine state.

5 Ways Your (non-BFAW) Bikini is Killing the Environment

Posted by Dylan Patterson · March 01, 2020

Unfortunately for us and the environment, the manufacturing process in clothing and especially swimwear can be very harmful. Here’s 5 ways that cute bikini you got for $50 is killing the environment.

The fabric it’s made out of (Nylon, Polyester, & Spandex) is plastic based and not biodegradable. That means when it gets worn out and you don’t want it anymore, it takes hundreds of years to breakdown.
The fabric it’s made out of is also made out of fossil fuels. That means the burning of fossil fuels goes into the production of the material and if burned will emit carbon. Why would anyone burn your old bathing suit? Many countries burn their trash including old clothes that people throw away.
