My Weekend at Miami Swim Week: Style, Stories & Self-Care
This past weekend, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at Miami Swim Week celebrated empowerment, diversity, and bold fashion at the W South Beach. Highlights included Bethenny Frankel in a polka-dot bikini, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles debuting a meaningful tattoo, and Paralympian Ali Truwit walking just two years after losing her leg in a shark attack—a powerful symbol of resilience. I had the privilege of attending and interviewing stars like JWoww and Rachael Kirkconnell, and these conversations were a meaningful reminder of the strength and confidence that shine when women show up as their true selves.
A Stylish Stay — The Betsy Hotel, South Beach
While in Miami, I stayed at The Betsy Hotel—an Ocean Drive gem that perfectly balances timeless elegance with a relaxed, creative spirit. Whether I was sipping coffee in the courtyard, watching the sunrise from the rooftop, or getting ready in their beautiful rooms, The Betsy felt like a calm, inspiring home base during a very high-energy week. I wanted to highlight my stay because it made such a difference in helping me feel grounded, comfortable, and ready for the spotlight.
Beauty & Wellness I Used During Miami Swim Week
1. The Infrared Upgrade — Heat Healer
Getting red carpet ready starts with wellness, and Heat Healer has me covered. This female-founded brand from Bondi Beach, Australia, creates thoughtfully designed tools that blend beauty, recovery, and health into your daily routine.
For my prep, I slipped into their Lymphatic Onesie—a wearable lymphatic massage suit that boosts circulation, reduces fluid retention, and supports recovery. It’s temperature-regulating, stylish, and even converts body heat into infrared energy. Wellness is hot—and so is feeling good from the inside out.
2. Smile Goals, Unlocked — Supersmile
Your smile is your ultimate accessory—and Supersmile makes sure it shines. Their award-winning Zina Toothbrush features a patented 45° polishing head that cleans above and below the gumline, with built-in timers and a magnetic charger for that ultra-clean, on-the-go glam.
Want instant whitening? Their Calprox-powered system brightens without sensitivity—and can whiten teeth up to two shades in one dry-brush use.
Before brunch or a wine bar, I swipe on The Bolt—a protective enamel serum that blocks stains for up to 6 hours. And for touch-ups on the fly, The Quikee polishes your smile and freshens breath in seconds. Because nothing finishes a red carpet look like a confident, radiant smile.
3. Lips, SPF, and a Hint of Glow — Lano Lips
Obsessed is an understatement. I’ve been reaching for the Lanolips Sun Balm SPF 30 in Tropical nonstop.
It combines their cult-favorite lanolin balm base with golden shimmer and pineapple scent for a beachy, sun-kissed finish. Hydrating, non-tinted, and made with 100% natural ingredients, this $14 wonder is the ultimate summer essential—available at Ulta and Ulta.com.
4. Glow Mode: Activated — Medicube
For that luminous, red carpet-ready skin, I turned to Korea’s #1 skincare brand: Medicube.
Their Booster Pro device delivers six skin-enhancing functions—boosting radiance, contouring, tightening, and refining pores all in one go. I paired it with their Deep Vita C Capsule Cream. Just pop the capsule, blend, and apply for instantly brighter, more even skin.
It’s my go-to for that coveted “glass skin” glow that turns heads and cameras alike.
