Mermaids in the Sand

Mermaids were just one of the many and varied subjects of the 26th Annual Coney Island Sand Sculpting Contest.

"Nothing says summer like a good, old-fashioned sand sculpture contest!"

The mermaids were joined by sea monsters, castles, the Eiffel Tower, and even Spongebob.

For all the details and photos, head on over to Gothamist, and this article by Jen Chung.

Guest Mermaid

Join Sarah Baird as she tells the tale of her appearance as guest mermaid at the Sip 'n Dip tiki bar. She also writes about the recent popularity of mermaid schools.

"Over the past several years, mermaid schools have cropped up in just about every pocket of the globe as a place for people to live out their fantasy of being an honest-to-goodness ocean maiden."

The whole story can be found in this article at The Daily Good.

Mermaid Box

Mermaid Box is a quarterly subscription box with a mermaid/aquatic theme.  Read Brandy's review at Hello Subscription.

"Mermaid Box is a Quarterly Box that will be delivered 4 times a year, so even in the winter, summer, spring or fall you can look forward to new mermaids swimming to your door."

According to Brandy's review, a donation to save dolphins is made for each subscription sold.

Mermaid Crowns

If you frequent mermaid groups on Facebook or other social media, you may have noticed the popularity of mermaid crowns. In a recent article at the Huffington Post, writer Carla Herreria introduces us to Chelsea Shiels' Mermaid Crowns.

"We’ve already embraced mermaid-inspired hair colors and accepted mermaid fins as a poolside accessory, but a new type of Neptunian trend has descended upon us..."

Another creator of fine mermaid crowns is Judy Bielik. Be sure to check out her Etsy shop as well.

Sea Change

Ocean conservation should be on the mind of every mermaid and merman. Recently, Great Big Story carried the story and video, Sea Change: Tipping the Scale Toward Conservation in Palau.

"Roughly one-third of the catch from Palau's long-line fisheries are non-target species, meaning that millions of turtles, dolphins, rays and sharks end up as "road kill" on the undersea highway."

Tipping the Scale Toward Conservation in Palau is the second half of Sea Change. The article also includes a link to part one, The Battle Against Poaching in Palau.


Mermaid Beauty Products

In my previous blog post, we talked a bit about mermaid fashion, including swimwear and nail art. Today, we continue the conversation with a look at more mermaid-inspired beauty products.

"Ariel always wanted to be part of our world, but when it comes to beauty, we would like to be submerged in hers."

The article by Lauren Levinson at Pop Sugar covers it all: makeup, hair, skin, body, and nail products.

My favorites on the list are the Mermaid Soap Bar and the Mermaid Perfume. We first talked about Mermaid Perfume back in February of 2013.


The Deep

A new mermaid show is coming to Freeform (formerly ABC Family). No Ariel in this show, this mermaid show will be targeted to adults.

"Because it’s a dark, complex, live-action, hour-long drama about mermaids reclaiming their right to the ocean, that’s why."

For the full story, head on over to Hello Giggles, and take a look at this article by Winona Dimeo-Ediger.
