Welcome back, More Betties! Mas Mejor-ettes. Disciples of Lifelong Betterment. (We’re still workshopping the name, please stick with us…) Well, the time has come. Temps are rising, the sand is calling and our sunscreen is locked and loaded. This week, Steph and Mel are diving into all things beach culture. Beach expert Mel shares her family's extensive tips and tricks: from the baby powder sand removal hack that actually works to her prized Tommy Bahama chairs with the backpack straps and her very strategic cooler situation. The ladies even get a little nostalgic and discuss the beaches they grew up with – Steph's Gulf Coast Life vs. Mel's Caribbean Snob upbringing – and how they shaped their relationship with the beach. Plus! Water safety, the health benefits of salt water, why a smol healthy fear of the ocean is kinf of important and what stats reveal about the U.S. Latine community and swimming. Nos vemos en la playa, it belongs to all of us!
