Things I wish lingerie companies would do

Hi again readers, I know it has been awhile since my last post. Today I wanted to share some suggestions with lingerie companies, and fellow readers.

My first suggestion/thing I would love to see lingerie companies do is make universal sizing for all women. What do I mean by that? well a 36D should be a 36D cup in every brand. I would love to be able to say *I am this size* and know exactly which bras to order, and this would eliminate alot of hassle with returns, and other issues. I would also like to have bras that maybe work with the in between size. Nothing is more frightening then a size change, if you dont know what your next size is.

My second suggestion is offer the purchasers/consumers something special. Who wouldnt want a Natori keychain? A Panache waterbottle? It is so silly companies don't pair freebies or something up. Not only does it give the buyer a little extra something special, it also helps advertise as well.

My third, and final suggestion is offering more colors.I see many companies with the standards black, white, and tan, but little other colors. I like my lingerie to be fun to wear and look at, the same old colors tend to get very boring.

I'd love to hear feedback from you, my readers! What do you wish lingerie companies would do?

Enell LITE review.

Hello fellow readers. I wanted to post my review of the Enell lite. This bra is actually really comfortable, and has had pretty good impact on bounce control. In terms of comfort, this feels like the comfortable Natori sports bras that do not fit me anymore, but are wonderful. The only complaints I have with the bra is that there are many hooks which im not used to, so you'll want to give yourself a bit of time to prepare for buttoning them up in the morning. I also wish they had more colors.

Also, it is a bit pricey but well worth it. I genuinely enjoy wearing this bra more than some of my other sports bras frankly, and in terms of comfort and all that, this is a winner. For the price, is it worth it? I will have to give it a bit more thorough test, but since I drive a pick up truck and my ride to work can be described as *bouncy* I did not have a problem with this today, and that was shocking for me.

Support Level-Awesome, seriously. No bra has ever held my breasts in place this well. I am in love with this bra.
Price Tag-Around 80 for the LITE bra.
 Washing/Care-Hand washing is probably best but in a lingerie bag on delicate cycle should be fine too.
Colors/Design-. This is my one other gripe, I loved the Orchid color, but they only had Black, Yellow, Pink, and White I believe. I would have loved the Orchid color but that isn't made. I opted for the black instead.
Complaints-The only complaint besides the colors is it takes a little bit of time to snap up compared to your other sports bras, however this snaps in the front thankfully so its not too bad.I think it has 6-8 hooks to snap up, compared to the normal 3-4. This is actually a good thing though because it means you are getting way better support. 
Comments-This is a new favorite, and blows most of the other sports bras out of the water, if not all.  Rating-5/5

Sophia and the Seven Goddesses Book Review by Ilene Satala and Beverly Danusis

Hello again Ladies. Today I wanted to post another review of a totally different book. Most of my up coming reviews will be focused on women's health, however today I wanted to do 2 diffrent reviews. This will be the first review of a fiction book.  I was introduced to this book at my old job in a metaphysical shop. I was told this book was really great, and everyone should read it. I knew it was a book geared towards young girls, so I was a bit surprised to hear that my boss would want everyone to read this book.

Let me first say, I am not a big fan of fiction books, I practically never read them frankly. This book, however, was a great exception. Sophia and the Seven Goddesses is a young adult book *I would say for younger girls and teens.* This fiction book was extremely well written, and captivated me as I began to read it.  It is a very empowering book for younger woman. The book focuses on a girls journey into learning how to love herself, and empower herself. I am trying to be vague as to not spoil the plot of the book. This book hooked me after the first I think 20 pages, and that is extremely hard to do, since I never read fictional books. Each Goddess gives a gift so to speak to the main character, whos name is Sophie. An example of a gift would be Aphrodite gives the gift of self love.

 If you have a young girl from the age 7-13 I would highly recommend this book. This book also gives you a tidbit into goddess mythology.Metaphysical lessons are also input in this book, which makes it interesting.  This is a book that will make you feel better about yourself, and will put a smile on your face. We live in a society that the media puts women down constantly, or at each others throats over silly things. This book I think could help create a better culture for young girls, so that they can be respectful, and caring to one another.  I feel like this book specifically will help the younger girls be stronger in this sometimes cruel society we live in.

 Rating-5 stars
Well written, would be great for younger teens to read, before they get hit with an even stronger bombardment of media messages.

Book Review-The Real Life Body Book by Hope Riciotti,MD, and Monique Doyle Spencer.

Hello ladies, I wanted to do a review of a wonderful health book for young women called the Real Life Body Book. This book is extremely informative, and well written. Although I wouldn't say this is something that substitutes medical advice, this book is helpful if you are wondering anything about bones, health issues, or anything like that. This covers a diverse amount of topics, and issues that some other books wouldn't touch.

 I would say this is a young adult book, and do not think it would be good for extremely younger audience *this book is perfect for a bit older teens, but I wouldn't suggest it for anyone younger than 13 or 14*. It covers pretty much every aspect of the female body, but puts it in an understandable language for the teen/young adult audience. This would be a great book for a young teen, if they have questions about whats normal about their body, and what type of stuff isn't.

Again, I am not saying this should ever replace a doctor but it offers some really nice tips on how to reduce stress for example. I would call this a good guide to health. This book in essence will help you understand your body better, which is a blessing in today's world where we have too much written online that isn't medically accurate or fact checked. I would strongly suggest this as a christimas gift for a young woman, because if they have questions about their body, this can definitely help answer them. The regular retail of this book is around $22, and it is well worth it. I have picked it up on amazon for cheaper. 

I don't have any complaints about this book, so it gets an A plus from me.

Freya Sports Bra Review

Hello readers. I know it has been awhile since my last post. Today, I am going to review the Freya Sports bra in the cosmic blue color. The band on this bra is just right in my opinion, its not "too tight" or "too loose" It fits pretty well, and activity level wise it does help to minimize bounce.I was delighted to see something out of the normal range of colors *grey, black, tan* and this was a definite treat. This bra is supportive, and also seems to dry quickly if you are sweating while working out *which is a very nice feature* You can do cross-straps on this as well which is nice. I would recommend this one for anyone doing anything athletic.

Support Level-Good to great
Price Tag-?
 Washing/Care-Hand washing is probably best but in a lingerie bag shouldn't be too bad on the delicate cycle.
Colors/Design-Great colors on this one, I was blown away by how pretty the blue is.
Complaints-None. If i had to make one, it would be its not as soft as the Natori ones but still wonderful.
Comments-If I recall right, this one was a bit higher priced but was really good for work. I would get another one. The color selection was nice and I would recommend this one to a friend.
Rating-5/5

Affinitas Nichole Push-Up Bra

This is the Affinitas Nichole Push Up Bra, and it is a wonderful addition to my wardrobe. I really like how sturdy the fabric is. I was impressed by how nice the band feels on this one too, since some of my other bras have a much tighter feeling band. This is a new favorite of mine, and I frankly wish I had more. At the cost, it is a great buy, and one of my favorites. The only downfall is this is a push up, so it will draw more attention to your bust.
Support Level-Good
Price Tag-32 dollars, very reasonable and nice.
 Washing/Care-Hand washing is probably best but in a lingerie bag shouldn't be too bad on the delicate cycle.
Colors/Design-Loving the designs on the bra band, but wish they offered more colors!
Complaints-More colors would be nice, other than that I do not have one.
Comments-I really like the price on this one, and I like how the band feels good/spot on for me, some of my old bras are getting tight but this is perfect. No complaints here :)
