I got the honor of co-hosting this episode with my 13 year old daughter, Madalyn.  Talking with mother, daughter founders of June Loop Swimwear, June Blackburn and Kristie Kemp here in Nampa, was so special.  These women have created a swimwear line that makes every woman of every shape and size feel beautiful and comfortable in a swimsuit.  It just started with sewing some pieces from a pattern because June knew how to sew and Kristie wanted something different.  Now it is a global brand with customers all over the world.  They are now celebrating 8 years of business and continuing to creating beautiful pieces that help women shine in whatever body shape they are in.   You can check out all their swimsuits here: https://juneloop.com And Follow them on Instagram and Facebook
