We all talk about “having too many balls in the air”, “keeping all the plates spinning”, or simply, “having too much to do, and too little time”. And we think of it as negative.
What's important to us?
But why not turn it around and look at all the positives that our busy lives can give us? I’ve had one hell of a week (and I don’t usually use language like that!), but I’m still here with my house, family and business, so what have I got to complain about? continue reading…
This week is the week many people will be starting their new fitness regime to get a new shape / lose weight / feel better at the start of 2010.
Don’t forget that a new bra can get you a new shape without the need to lose weight! You can surprise your partner and friends by getting the right size, bra shape and correctly fitted bra. Sometimes you need to reduce your t-shirt size as a good bra can make all the difference to how you look.
We have surprised women all the time in the shop, exclaiming, “I can’t believe the difference the bra has made”. It’s a great feeling to help women look and feel better. It’s the part of the job I love most.
So, how do we do this for ourselves? The most important thing is how you fit the bra. Think down or low for the bra band. This should be firm and sit in the smallest part of your back. This is often a lot lower than where you usually wear your bra, but you will benefit from the support and shape it gives you – it shapes your natural contours, and lifts your breasts naturally from a firm base. It will bring your shoulders back and help improve your posture.
How not to wear a bra
If you’re worried about the overhang, then get a bra that is deeper than usual. A lot of fashion bras have very narrow bands. Older ladies that wear longline bras don’t have this problem, as everything is held in by the length of the bra. continue reading…
Hi there world!
After quite of lot of contemplation, I feel I’ve been called to share lots of what’s in my head with you. I’m obviously new to this, so please bear with me, but also help me along the way – I welcome and value feedback and input to improve what I do and how I do it.
I have quite a few passions and interests, including my family, my bra business, and my work in the community of Chorley, Lancashire. All of this will offer support to other women, mainly, but I’m sure there’ll be men out there who will also gain from the information in my head.
I’m a very sociable person, who loves to help others – some friends say I do this more than looking after myself. So, ask me! I will always say no if something is out of my sphere of reference, or I haven’t got time to research something at that point in time.
I’m expecting to post every week, on a different topic, but all related to what we do in our lives as women. A lot of this will be about my experiences as a Mum of 2 boys, currently at Primary School, and, my current job and passion as a specialist bra fitter.
