Without getting into too many details I would like to scream from the highest mountain: POSTURE AND A GOOD BRA EXPERIENCE ARE INTERTWINED! I have been on a body makeover journey, of sorts, for a while now. Six months ago I strained a ligament/tendon and began a quick slide into what can only be described […]
Review: Enell Sport 100
My newest sports bra is an Enell Sport 100. My previous sports bra was a Freya Firm Control Wire-Free Spacer Sports Bra with Racerback. While it was a definite improvement on wearing a “regular” bra to for workouts, the Freya was uncomfortable for me because the racerback styling pulled across my shoulder muscle and cut […]

The Isle of Bra Size Denial
I should probably explain how I got so deep into bra size denial. I grew up wearing wire-free bras – my mother wore them, so I wore them. I had small breasts (I wore a B cup) and I didn’t need them, and didn’t see the point in being uncomfortable when it was unnecessary. This […]
