Welcome to Alquimia

Welcome to Alquimia Swimwear site and my first blog post! My name is Jennifer Cardenas the creator and designer of Alquimia Swimwear and I am so excited to share with you MORE of what Alquimia has to offer! The amount of ideas, how-to’s and summer inspo whirling around in my head is ready to jump out. I wanted to start by telling you why I created this blog and what you will be seeing more of in my posts.

Why I started my blog

I started my blog out of a need to create and share content about summer lifestyle, fashion and wellness. This blog is inspired by my thirties, a age that I have come to love not only because of all the information I had learn but also because I have a strong voice now, a voice that is ready to share with the world all my finds about happiness, balance and bikinis. Hope that you find my rambling useful and entertaining!

A FEW RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME…

1. Ecuadorian born.

2. I work as a Graphic Designer who is obsess with bikinis "If I could live in a bikini I would no joke!"

3. Because bikinis has always been such a huge passion of mine, my sewing machines are one of my most precious possesions. If I’m inspired I saw. If I’m sad I saw. If I’m stressed I saw. Or I eat dark chocolate. Both help. ;)

4. Obsess with anything Star Wars, walking wookipedia for sure lol.

5. I love to shop! I’m a good shopper. Currently on a shopping detox.

6. I love working out. My love/hate relationship has turn into most love.

7. I love to cook. Really truly enjoy it. I always joke that I can think food ja ja ja. For some reason my brain can think flavors and create recipes based on those flavors. #callitfoodforthough IT'S TRULY A GIFT AND A CURSE.

8. Incredibly close with my parents and siblings and can’t imagine life without my girl friends. They all mean more to me than they’ll ever know!

9. Addicted to: French fries (currently on zero carbs #sadface ja ja ja) ice cream and desserts, lots of color #tastetherainbow, bright decor, sleeping, meditation,biohacking, earthing pads, lemons and cilantro (the foundation of cooking), bikinis, reading time by the pool (anything quantum physics and self help #nerd), silk anything, pajamas, any time spent with my girls (need more of this), mushroom everything and lastly obsess with anything hormones and happy periods.

10. Happiness and Healthy is a vibe. I love life and try to focus on all things SUMMER. Stick around here for a while! I just know we’ll become fast friends. :) xo

What you will be seeing more of in my posts

Bikinis and Summer duh will obviously be the main topic of my blog, but get ready because you will be seeing much more of the face behind Alquimia (me) well more like reading about it ja ja ja, and a mixture of summer lifestyle including my favorite fashion finds, products, and other small businesses. Writing has never been a strong suet of mine and I will tell you, I am no expert on any of this. I may be a “perfectionist” but I am nowhere near perfect. I figure it will be a lot of trial and error so please bear with me on any grammar/spelling mistakes and please feel free to always share your advice and communicate with me along the way! I hope to inspire you because truthfully, you all inspire me and I am SO looking forward to bringing you more fun content.
