The beach. What crosses your mind when you hear that word? Palm trees, ocean, sun? I think of calmness, happiness, and relaxation. The beach isn’t just a place to go in the ocean, get a tan, and listen to the playlist made for the beach. It is more a lifestyle. How? The slowness, quaintness, and […]
Recently, my family and I visited a remote island off the coast of Belize. While traveling by boat, we were surrounded by beautiful water, sunny blue skies, and were enjoying the barefoot life. Once we spotted the island, it looked like something out of a movie. I couldn’t get over how everything was so gorgeous, […]
Wow. I cannot believe it has already been one year since the official launch of Barefoot Nation. I can distinctly remember the day before the website went live. So many sleepless nights, wondering will the site work, will people order, will we attract citizens that get our message, etc. Then, after all the previous year […]
Have you ever tried (SUP) Stand Up Paddle Boarding? The first time that I ever tried it was when I was 11 and I wasn’t very good at it! While we were in California, we rented one and went paddle on the Pacific Ocean. After a few falls, I really started getting the hang of […]

Well, here we are, a week and a half in, at the official halfway mark of this road trip. I must say, it has been quite an adventure so far! It started out with a bag full of snacks, good road trip movies, and of course, lots of singing and air guitar playing. First stops […]
Recently, I came across a great article from International Living magazine that was right in line with the mindset and message of Barefoot Nation. At a mere 22 years old, Mr. Lawrence Sperry from Chicago invented autopilot in 1912. This incredible device allows pilots on long flights a much needed break on a lengthy haul. […]
Fourth of July just passed. Lots of us celebrated by hanging out with friends and family, barbequing, popping fireworks, or making taking a special trip to a favorite lake or beach. It’s a day where each year we remember our freedom and can show our patriotism by wearing red, white, and blue. I am reminded […]
You asked…so we made it happen! After leaving Atlanta, to our surprise, we were told about a huge fishing tournament in San Destin – The Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic. We called and there was one spot open for a vendor! After lots of very last-minute packing, bringing our tent with all our merchandise to […]
That was our reaction to the invite we received when we were asked if we would like to attend AmericasMart who host many venues, this one being Atlanta Apparel. This tradeshow is a four-day event with attendees from 80 countries, new buyers, and top retailers in the U.S. Over 3,000 vendors will be showing off […]
