In this episode we welcome Mandy Nugent, owner of Black Ice Bikinis.

Having almost a decade's experience in creating bespoke bikinis for athletes competing at amateur and professional levels in the sport, we couldn't wait to pick her brains about curating the perfect stage.

In this episode we cover:

- Mandy's experience in the sport and the creation of Black Ice Bikinis;
- The development of the stage look; what's changed and how has the design and presentation in the bikini class evolved over the years;
- Getting your look right; colours, fits, considerations depending on the federation you chose to compete with, cross-federation tips and tricks when it comes to picking your suit;
- Suit do's and don'ts; tips for budget management, second hand and rental suits and what to look out for if you are opting against a custom made suit;
- Bikini care and how to prepare for an emergency;

...and so much more!

If you are heading into your first season as a competitive athlete, or if you are looking to perfect your stage look, this one is worth a listen.

Black Ice Bikinis are running a once a year sale between 15th November - 15th December, where you can save £75 off your custom bikini suit. Head to their website or drop the team a message and don't forget to let them know you listened to the podcast!

Episode 60: this one is an emotional one and one we didn’t foresee.

We wanted to share an important update with you all. An update we only felt was fair to share not only for the community we have around us both, but to recognise the journey, the growth and the transformation we have experienced over the two years we have committed to this platform. Grace has dedicated her all to the vision we had for this podcast and we wanted to celebrate everything she has contributed and everything she has to look forward to now.

This is not the end, but a beautiful beginning for everyone involved.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 🤍

In this episode Jade takes on solo podcast to discuss our top Bikini Olympia predictions for this years Olympia.

With Maureen and Jen now out of the Olympia, which is incredibly sad to see, we wanted to breakdown our thoughts in relation to what the top 5 placings may look like.

We want to hear your predictions! Let us know your views, whether you agree or disagree with the thoughts, and let us know who your Miss Bikini Olympia 2024 champion is ahead of this weekend?

As always these are our thoughts and views only and we have nothing but admiration for the ladies stepping on stage representing the standard of Bikini this year. We celebrate you all.
