Thank You to the #Brandcation DESTINation Sponsors!

While it may have looked like I just spend a weekend playing in the sun and sand during my Destin resorts vacation, I actually was there to learn from and connect with other bloggers and brands. That’s what #Brandcation is all about!

Upon our arrival at the Emerald Grande, I got to meet the ladies I would come to know and love over the next few days. We sat down together to talk about the sponsors that made this trip possible, and receive some products to test during our trip.

I wanted to take a moment to thank these sponsors — without whom this trip wouldn’t have been possible — and to highlight a few of the products that I really enjoyed.

Camera Coats

These are the coolest. I am always throwing my DSLR in my purse — Camera Coats hang on your camera strap and act as a protective cover for your camera.

CoTZ Face Mineral Sunscreen

I LOVED this sunscreen! It’s lightweight and creamy — it feels like foundation. It not only gave me protection from the sun, it made my skin look flawless, too. I’ve already added it to my daily makeup routine!

Tervis Tumbler

This is seriously the coolest cup ever. It keeps your drink cold or hot — I’ve been using it constantly since I got back from my trip!

O-Venture (key rings)

These key rings are awesome! They are so big that they slide up your arm when you go to pick up your kids — keeping the keys out of their face and away from their bodies! I love that the ring is big enough for me to find it easily in my purse. Plus, they’re fun colors!
