The weather is warming up, which means we are inching closer to bathing suit season. For some of the SI Swimsuit models like Molly Sims and Chrissy Teigen, they are getting a head start with Spring Break. Achieng Agutu also spent some time in the Sunshine State by attending the New You Beauty Awards in Miami.

And with the season heating up, we all need that summer anthem to play on repeat, and Ciara is giving her fans what they want by releasing a new single, “Ecstasy.”  Winnie Harlow also had her fellow SI Swimsuit ladies on her mind and customers of Cay Skin to share an exciting announcement.

The singer released a new single, “Ecstasy” on Friday. While sharing the news, she also opened up about the process to complete this project. “Making this happen was not an easy feat,” she explained. “Between running multiple businesses, being a mom, a wife and an artist, I had less than two days to rehearse and capture everything. But WE made it happen! This video and project is a true labor of love!”

The mom of four continued, “As a woman, sometimes I feel like I’m always pouring out… But doing like things like this…pours back into me! And honestly… us ladies need that! It’s a must that we make sure we do the things that fill our cup. If I must say, I would not be here without the collective effort of my family, my team, and everyone who works in alignment with me to execute my vision..and..YOU..My fans! This song means so much to me, and I hope you love what we made together.”
