Polish bras are having a moment. Witness the recent New York Times article that focused on them.
The year I got into buying well-fitting bras seriously coincided with the first time Polish bras became popular with a niche market of full-busted and plus-size customers. It was kind of the wild west of bra buying then. People would form groups on Facebook to swap sizing tips and bras that didn’t fit, since … Read More

I love covering great brands that customers don’t seem to know about! While stores are quietly selling a ton of Fit Fully Yours bras (which I’ve talked about in a previous article) I still don’t hear about them much when customer discuss great curve friendly bra brands. Their bras are on par with the quality of the well-respected UK brands and are truly built to last.
The Ava Lace Bra is their … Read More

The plus-size lingerie marketed can sometimes feel like it’s dominated by the major players, so it’s fun to occasionally reintroduce ourselves to the plethora of options out there.

I loved seeing all of the pretty options in the lingerie department, but that was never what I got. While I drooled over pretty laces and bows, my mother and the fitter decided that I … Read More
Today we went to the INM office in Cabo San Lucas to drop off our Immigration application for permanent residency. After 4 return trips plus two stops at the bank, we might almost be at the finish line. I would like to say that everything is easy in Mexico, but nothing here is black and white. The only difference when dealing with government agencies is that after living here a while, it’s so par for … Read More
I have been watching a lot of HGTV lately. It’s my newest television obsession besides my occasional Netflix binges. I am completely mesmerized by the way these entrepreneurs take houses with great potential and transform them into intelligent investments. Most of these dwellings have innate character, perhaps visionary at their birth but now in need of a contemporary facelift. It’s fascinating to see how subtle changes can change the entire perception of a commodity’s worth. … Read More
