If you know me, you know I'm all about home decor, fashion, skincare, and keeping my lively 4-year-old entertained. What you may not know is that I'm also a beach aficionado, and until recently, I was wedded to my traditional beach umbrella. That was until the Shibumi Shade swept me off my sandy feet.
Today, I'm taking a break from my usual chatter to give you the scoop on why I've tossed aside my old beach umbrella and embraced the Shibumi Shade. So sit back, apply your SPF, and get ready to be enlightened.
#1 – No More Wrestling With the Wind 🌬️
We've all been there. The wind picks up, and suddenly you're in a wrestling match with your beach umbrella. It's either you or the umbrella, and nine times out of ten, the umbrella wins. But Shibumi's ingenious “Works With The Wind, Not Against It®” design stays put, no matter how much the breeze picks up. A beach day should be about relaxation, not a wrestling smackdown.
#2 – There’s Room for the Whole Crew with Shibumi 👪
Traditional beach umbrellas are not known for their generous space allowances. But the Shibumi Shade ($270) spreads its wings to cover a whopping 150 sq ft (or 4-6 people). That's enough space for my family and a few beach toys. No more fighting over the sliver of shade.
If you’re looking for a more travel-friendly option, the Shibumi Shade Mini ($190) covers 1-2 and is ideal for a quick beach getaway with a loved one (or just yourself).
#3 – It’s Feather-Light 🪶
If you've ever lugged a beach umbrella across the hot sand, you'll understand the need for a lighter solution. Shibumi saves the day (and your arms), weighing in at just 4 lbs. That's less than my purse on a good day!
#4 – Shibumi is My Sun Protection Champion ☀️
The Shibumi Shade doesn't just provide shade; it takes sun protection to another level with UPF 50+. Trust me, your skin will thank you.
#5 – Shibumi's Saving the Ocean, One Shade at a Time 🌊
As a beach lover, I care about our oceans. That's why I fell head over heels for the fact that the Shibumi Shade is made from ocean-bound recycled plastic. It's a small step towards preserving the beaches we know and love for future generations.
The Shibumi Shade is My New Beach Day BFF
Not to sound dramatic, but my beach days have been truly transformed since the Shibumi Shade came into my life. With thousands of 5-star reviews, I know I’m not alone in this! No more chasing rogue umbrellas in the wind, no more squishing into a tiny patch of shade, and no more heavy lifting on our beach outings. Plus, the added sun protection and focus on sustainability give this momma peace of mind.
So, while this may seem like just a swap from an old beach umbrella to a new beach accessory, it really is a step towards more enjoyable beach outings. Trust me–once you've taken refuge under the Shibumi Shade, you won’t have it any other way!
