Mijas Magical Mondays
Listen up, buttercups! We send fun emails on Mondays with all sorts of juicy deets! We love highlighting amazing women and asking them fun questions, we love sharing our favorite things, we love sharing delish recipes, and all manner of Mija Madness. We will share them on our blog, but if you want to get in on the action in real time, sign up for our email list. You’ll get privy to all this madness, plus sometimes we just like to give coupon codes to our email friends, just for fun. Anyway, here is a taste of what’s to come!
mijas surf club’s girl crush: bo stanley
“I used to want to be skinny, dainty, and just smaller in every sense. I really did. Because it made others uncomfortable that I wasn’t. If I was skinnier, took up less space, was less outspoken, less intense...the easier life would have been. The more others would feel comfortable. And I tried everything at the expense of killing my own spirit to be anything but ME for others.
It wasn’t until I realized that all of the things I wanted to shrink were the things that gave me power.
My strong legs, my sturdy frame, my sense of humor, my loudness, my boldness, my directness, my drive to evolve and grow. I am intense, nothing about me is small, it’s what makes me who I am as a woman and an athlete. And when I step into that, I allow my spirit to shine and grow.
Let’s teach our girls to be big in every sense. To take up space. To own their body, their health, their mind, their soul. To be strong and bold. No more shrinking. We were put here to shine, and to help our fellow sisters shine alongside us💗⚡️💪🏽”
We can’t stop talking about her. Her surfing. Her creativity. Her sunshine. We chatted with the Mijas Surf Club Volunteer, surfer, athlete, model and All-Around Queen to get all the deets on what she’s loving lately.

mijas must-have |The Black Surf Club Tee
Welcome to the club! We didn’t want the littles to have all the fun, so we made this garment-dyed boxy boyfriend tee. It’s so soft, just the right shade of black, and the most fun to wear with anything from sequined pants (why not?) to high-waisted retro shorts in a wild print. Have fun with this, and rock it like you mean it!
Made responsibly in sunny California.
