BEACHES & BETTIES ♡ Beachy Keen Special at Margarita Bloom ♡

Hey Gorgeous Betties!! Yes, weekend!!! I love the weekend...it's that lovely 2 day vacation you get to stop working and play. You get to plan for a little me time...maybe a bit of a stay at a spa where quite frankly I could do with a massage...maybe a whole year of massages actually...I work hard!!! You get to go to a new restaurant you've been drooling over with some of your girlfriends or maybe a shopping spree to your favorite boutique and a trip to the beach! Frankly, 2 days at the beach sounds great.  Can't you just wait until it starts to get warm!!! I can't! Ah, the weekend, it's awesome.
 

For me, I've got loads of work to do this weekend. We'll be featuring some awesome companies on our blog that I'm sooo excited to be collaborating with...just to name a few Steamcream,  Motel Rocks, Strapless Fashion, we even got in a PUR Water Filtration Unit to try out from our @InfluensterVox Box! I've been wanting to get one of those for awhile now since I stopped drinking copious amounts of soda and have fully embraced water...water....water!! Healthier eating habits rock and when a company makes an great product that helps you with that that's even better.

Stay tuned to read up about these amazing companies and brands! But first I thought you could do with some Beachy Keen inspiration from our fabulous brand. We're getting ready for spring/summer here at Margarita Bloom and what better way to start that off than with pretty mermaids, beaches and retro bonita's!

are you a betty or a veronica?

I'm a total Betty! Hahaha, don't you just love these awesome comics from the 40's. "Archie" of course! They're so cute and the illustrations always bring a smile to my pretty profile. I keep seeing them pop up all over my tumblr, pinterest and facebook lately and had to do a post about them.

I mean, how could you not? They're adorable. 

The main characters are fictional featuring teenagers Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle and Jughead Jones. 

The characters were created by publisher/editor John L. Goldwater, written by Vic Bloom and drawn by Bob Montana. They were based in part on people met by Goldwater "in the Midwest" during his travels throughout the United States while looking for jobs and places to stay. 

John Goldwater, inspired by the popular Andy Hardy movies starring Mickey Rooney, wanted to create a comic about a normal person to whom readers could relate. He created "America's newest boy friend", Archibald "Chick" Andrews. In Pep Comics #22, December 1941, writer Vic Bloom and artist Bob Montana published Archie Andrews' first adventure, beginning with "Chick" showing off for his new neighbor, Betty Cooper. Ah, hello Betty!

Although the comic started in the 1940s, it has changed over the years to stay current with the times, said writer and artist Dan Parent. One example is the introduction in 2010 of openly gay character Kevin Keller, who first appeared in Veronica #202 Equality for all...even in comics. 

In February 2010, Archie Comics partnered with A Squared Entertainment (A2) and POW! Entertainment to create Stan Lee Comics print and digital line.[8] Archie Comics announced at the New York Comic Con in October 2011 that its superhero line will return as an all-digital line under a subscription model with back issues archive access.

Don't you just love Stan Lee? That guys is amaze-balls. 

So, are you a Betty....or a Veronica? *wink wink*
