How I Got Bigger Boobs

A magical thing happened to me on the way out of the mall 5 years ago.
I walked out, 3 bra sizes bigger then I went in.

No, I didn't swallow anything. No, there weren't any sprays (weird). I simply got measured for a bra by a professional.

It's something, believe it or not, you're supposed to do multiple times a year (probably a good time is at every semi-annual sale, don't ya think?). Because your sizing can change.

You can do it yourself just to check their measurements (I did it because I almost didn't believe my new size!). You'll need fabric measuring tape, or a yard stick and some string (you can put the string around your waste/boobs and measure the length against the yard stick).

For a good formula go here.

But I would still get the final results confirmed by a measurement in-store.

I can't tell you how thankful I am that I did it! Now I have bras that actually fit me the way they are supposed to! (Read more on that, read yesterday's post!).

I would highly recommend doing this, then shopping around for some new braziers. It's semi-annual sale time at Victoria Secret (this is the third mention of that, so you can't say I didn't warn you). So now is a good time to stock up on bras that will fit well!

7 Ways to Know if You're Correctly Wearing a Bra

Your boobs called, they want you to read The Spiff all week because it's all about bras, Baby!

Every great outfit starts at the foundation, and if your foundation hasn't been updated since 'N Sync cut an album...then it's time for something fresh.

And don't think that just because you bought a bra at the Semi-Annual Sale that you're good to go. Even the best of bras (like that $2 million one in the VS catalogue) have to be worn properly or they can't do their job right.

Here are 5 ways to know if you're correctly wearing a bra...

1. There is no gaping between your boobs and your bra cup
2. There is no boob-age spilling over your bra cup
3. The underwire goes past your breast tissue
4. The band sits around your rib cage and not between your shoulder blades
5. You cannot see your bra lines when wearing a shirt
6. The straps of your bra fit comfortably: not digging in, and not slipping off your shoulder
7. The band of your bra fits just right: not too tight

If  your bra is fitting poorly, adjust your straps, or hook it one more notch in or out. It needs to be tight but not spillage-tight because gravity is gonna come a-knockin' and we want to make sure we're doing everything to keep the door closed :)

(More on straps and hooks later in the week, check back on Thursday!)

Another thing is how you put your bra on. Don't just slap in on any old way. What you should be doing is putting your arms through the straps, then leaning over so that your girlfriends can fall into the cups. This will help how they sit in the bra (which should be with your "headlights" right in the middle of the cup).

Ok, Gals, I don't think I could give you any more good reasons why you should keep tuning in. Gird your loins and crack open the unmentionables drawer, we're going to get you lookin' spiffy!

The Big 5

Five years ago today, I was taken off the market.

Marriage is such a wonderful thing.

I know for a fact, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today if I didn't have someone like him encouraging me (planning for me), believing God with me, and putting up with my ever-growing beauty every single day ;)

 

We are truly blessed.

I can't wait to see what the next five years {and beyond!} will bring.

Have a great weekend everybody!
