Reward Yourself with Luxurious Lingerie!

As women, we spend most of our waking hours serving others - our mates, our bosses, our children, and even our parents. On our mental checklist of priorities, our needs are all too often relegated to the bottom of the list. Over time, neglecting our own needs takes its toll, not only on us, but also on those we love. When our own proverbial well is empty, we have nothing left to give to others.

That's why it's important that you make a commitment to indulging yourself at least once a week. Carve out time to take a bubble bath, go on a nature walk, spend quiet time journaling, or going solo to a movie.

Once you've gotten into the habit of a regular indulgence, expand your self-care to include buying yourself a special gift from time to time.
While there may be many items on your wish list, there's a case to be made for indulging yourself with lingerie. In the process of serving others, we often lose sight of our womanliness. Our femininity takes a back seat to the roles we play in our lives, and beautiful lingerie can help us reconnect with our feminine nature.

Although lingerie can certainly be sexy, giving yourself the gift of lingerie isn't intended to be sexual. Whether or not you have a partner, wearing a beautiful bra and panty set can make you feel terrific. Having a supply of teddies doesn't mean you have to parade around in them. Instead, wear teddies under a dress or blouse and feel the silky smoothness against your skin. Instead of wriggling into pantyhose every workday, switch to stockings and garters. Stockings are guaranteed to make you feel womanly. Others may wonder where your secret smile is coming from, but you don't need to tell.

Remember that you don't have to have a model's body in order to enjoy lingerie. There are bustiers, teddies, stockings, and bra and panty sets made for plus-size women. There's no room in life for body shame, so enjoy your curves! Regardless of your size and shape, you're entitled to indulge your feminine nature.
We have wondrous opportunities to enjoy life's bounty. We have an obligation to ourselves and to those we love to reap both joyful moments and secret pleasures. When we do, we become more fulfilled and are better equipped to meet the demands placed on us by our families, friends, and coworkers.

7 Simple Rules To Choose A Swimsuit

Very few people, unless they live in an area where they are beach bound all of the time and it is part of the "uniform," are uncomfortable picking out a bathing suit for summer, much less wearing one. In an attempt to demystify the process and to help you find the style that will enhance your body, here are a few pointers.

Let's face it. A bathing suit doesn't cover much (some less than others) so we can't hide behind layers of fabric…or can we?

3 Don'ts For Just About Everyone:

• Boy Shorts or Boy Legs
• String tie halter tops
• The big poofy skirted suits

Don't be fooled by Boy Shorts, they look awful on nearly everyone. I wear a size 2 and they even make my hips look large.

String halter-tops fall into that category as well. Unless you have very pert breasts and not very large ones at that, the string halter is a no-no. That would be followed by the poofy (yes, that is a made-up word) skirts. Many older people will buy them out of modesty, as will heavier women. Please don't. There are other ways to cover up that won't make you look like a beached whale.

When shopping for a bathing suit, go to a store that has the tops and bottoms separately if you are buying a two-piece. Many of us are not the same size in both places and a swim suit needs to fit properly.

Speaking of two-pieces, who should be wearing what style? Say "no" to the two pieces if there is flab where there shouldn't be. OK here we go! Hold on to your swim suit!

7 Simple Rules to Choose a Swim Suit:

1. Choose a color and print that is flattering to your skin tone and body type.
2. To enhance small breasts, use a print on top with a top that ties behind the neck.
3. To minimize large breasts, use a tank style top but use caution. Avoid the uni-breast look.
4. Slim the hips by not having the suit bottom rest on the area you want to minimize.
5. Long torsos will look longer in a one piece. Try a tankini with a little skin showing in the middle to shorten your body.
6. Hide a stomach with a one-piece that has a little gathering at the middle (a bit extra fabric).
7. No waist? Create one with a one piece that is cut out at the sides or that has a sash or belt.

For accessories:

• Flip flops or sandals with a little heel or thickness will make you look less dumpy as you walk.
• Wear a sarong or skirt to cover up your legs if you want modesty or are trying to hide your thighs when not in the water. Choose a print or color that is flattering and tie it in a location that does not emphasize a bad area.
• A cotton gauze or sheer cover up is great for getting from place to place but remember that the sun will go through it. Wear sun block at all times.

I could go on and on about swim wear fashions and styles but the best advice is to go to a specialty store and try on different patterns and styles until you get one that is right for you.

Should Preteens Wear Lingerie?

There has been much debate on this issue recently. Girls are reaching puberty at earlier ages every year. Hollywood and current fashion trends are teach girls to wear less, and show more. In nearly every aspect of our society sex appeal is taught by example. Young girls have started looking for ways to make themselves feel sexy. Some manufactures have even produced pre-teen lingerie!

Thongs and other forms of sexy undergarments have been made for girls age 5-16 by top name companies. The internet is full of articles about top companies selling pre-teen thongs, and girls being sent home from school because they were wearing thongs under short skirts. Mothers have been outraged to find preteen thongs in their favorite clothing stores. Still other parents support their daughters in their right to were sexy underwear.

Should preteens be allowed to wear Lingerie? I will let you form your own opinion about that. As for MyFirstBra.us we believe that there should be a line drawn when it come to girls of this age. It is natural for young girls to want to feel sexy during puberty, but be aware. We are talking about your daughter here, and what message do you want to convey to her?

Once your daughter starts reaching puberty, go ahead and bye her nice undergarments, pretty training bras, soft silky things that make her feel good. Let her pick out a variety of colors, and materials. But don’t force her to grow up to quickly; some things should be saved for adulthood.

As for thongs, you’re the parent, you be the judge, but remember thongs are not very comfortable for an active girl. Make your choices practical, but nice. Let her feel comfortable, and always communicate with her about puberty, sex, and her changing body.

As a final thought; Have you ever walked throughout the mall and seen young girls wearing hip hugger pants, short tight tops, and a thought provoking sayings on their rear? They show more skin and belly then they cover up. What is more attractive to potential stalkers, pedophiles, and rapist; the outer clothing or the sexy underwear that is not seen?

Lingerie: What Not To Wear

Your lingerie, what goes under your clothes, is just as important as the clothes you wear and can dramatically affect how you look. Perfectly fitting undergarments will make you appear slimmer and can take your look from ordinary to extraordinary, immediately. Because lingerie cannot be seen it is sometimes overlooked as not being important. Besides affecting the look of your outside garments wearing lingerie that we feel good in and fits well is pampering that we owe ourselves. When we feel good we look better.

1. Don't wear lingerie that is tatered or does not fit properly. Wear lingerie that is feminine and notice how good it makes you feel. It’s amazing how lacy, sexy undergarments can make you feel more attractive.

2. Avoid showing panty lines. When wearing skirts or pants that are snug enough to show panty lines wear thong underwear.

3. Choosing the perfect bra is essential. A bra that cuts into your back will cause unsightly bulges and bras that do not provide enough support will allow your bust to sag and will make you appear frumpy and older.

Push Up Bras are for a small to medium bust and will make a large bust look larger. Take time to choose a bra that keeps your bust where it should be and feels comfortable.

4. White or light colored pantyhose will make your legs appear larger and is really something that should not be worn. Bright and shimmery pantyhose will also bring attention to your legs as will black pantyhose. However, black pantyhose brings attention in a different way. Black pantyhose will make your legs appear smaller but will define the shape. So, if you do not want to show off the shape of your legs, stick to neutral colors.

5. No matter what size bust you have never wear a bra that will show your nipples. For close fitting tops wear a seamless bra or a T-Shirt Bra.

6. To avoid tummy bulges choose a one-piece bodysuit and you will look slimmer instantly.

Until Next Time!!!
