Mimi in the Mirror: Flamingos, Life & Colour

"Smell the sea, and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly"

Van Morrison

I love flamingos, I have everything with flamingos, phone cases, t-shirts, scarfs, ...

After I saw my partner losing my prozis' flamingo in the Tunisian sea I wanted to kill him, I got really sad, but I had a few more happy flamingos in my sleave.

Because is never too many flamingos in your life...

I love all my flamingos.

But these ones are really special!

I saw them in a picture from a website and I knew straight away that they had to be mine.

"Paradise Found" - the name completely suits the towel and it is one of the sand free towels from Tesalate, the perfection that arrives from Australia.

I loved Tunisia as much as I loved my towel and I must confess that I wanted to hide behind my towel and just stay there!

But life can't stop just because you love your holidays and you don't want to say goodbye to summer.

Something that I love about living in London is that it can be really cold, but you can just decide at any time to fly away towards the sun, so you need a fancy beach towel to take with you. I picked mine and I'm really happy with it.

What the brand says:

Tesalate beach towels are ultra compact, super absorbent, dry rapidly and are insatiably vibrant. Most importantly sand doesn't stick to them, even when wet.

All our towels are made from our exclusive AbsorbLite fabric and are full beach towel sized. Sand free. Leave the beach at the beach.

Vibrant designs. Full-sized beach towel: 160cm x 80cm / 63 x 31 inches. Compact when rolled. Fits in your bag. Ultra absorbent; over 1 liter of water. Rapid-drying. Half the time of a regular beach towel.

Our exclusive AbsorbLite™ microfiber (80% polyester + 20% polyamide) has been specifically engineered to create a towel that makes your beach days more awesome than before.

What I think:

Normal size towel that fits in a very small pocket bag, I really like the fact that this towel gets me dry and it doesn't get heavy enough to make me drag it to the hotel room, I like the fact that it has 2 sides, so one day can be my towel, the next day can be his towel, but my favourite part is that doesn't get full of sand, I love the beach but I hate sand all over my room and my bed.

Recently I had a conversation on my facebook regarding the amount of plastic that is required to do this kind of fabrics and others and it's effect on the planet, to be fair my problem with plastic is related to so many other things, like the fact that 95% of the world's food and beverages cames in plastic, that really concerns me, everything in general has so much plastic, not the fact that this towel after 10 or 15 years of usage is going to have the same ecologic effect of my house's weekly dispose of plastic. I'm sorry.

I love my towel, it's just amazing and is the cutest thing if you want a towel that fits in your bag, that drys really quickly, that doesn't take sand with you to your house, well Tesalate has a towel for you.
