A modern twist on those after shower essentials…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\n every woman should have on their bathroom hook as they step out of the \nshower is a …. no, not a fluffy towel and your favorite robe.  Let’s \nmix it up a bit with a Turkish towel and a lightweight cotton sarong.  \nBut before you worry that you just can’t part with that teddy bear of a \ntowel and and your morning uniform, let me tell you why this is my go \nto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the secret : Turkish towels are amazingly absorbent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granted they may take a little getting used to because they aren’t as\n fluffy as their traditional counterparts, but if you make the switch \nyou may never go back.  The Turkish towel just soaks up the water off \nyour body like a greedy little sponge, while the traditional towel \nsometimes rubs the water around while you’re trying to soak up and dry \nyour little tush.  And of course, I just can’t resist their chic and \nexotic details. The sassy fringe and subtle color and stripe \ncombinations makes them the show off of towels. I have to admit, on \noccasion I like a show off… much easier to get away with if you are a \ntowel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cotton sarong or pareo is now my go-to instead of even the lightest weight robe.  Who hates sweating while they are getting ready for work or going out?  Me too. And for those of you who have at some point made the acquaintance of a hot flash, you now can fight back with just a cute little swath of cotton.  Just tie on the sarong strapless dress style or crisscross and tie behind the neck and you’ve scored a three for one deal…good coverage,  sweat free primping and yes, you guessed it, style points!  And wait, there’s more.  These little beauties pull double duty as your beach cover up and can be styled so many different ways.  Seriously, I have a vast collection of these and they last for years!  Ok, this is beginning to sound a bit like an infomercial so let me just leave you with a few sourcing tips and fun style pics and then I can move on to ginsu knives and bamboo steamers.  Ba ha ha. \ud83d\ude42 (google it if you are too young to get that one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
