Mari M Maternity sleepwear on Lingerie Briefs

 I’ve always been a fan of gorgeous robes and pajamas, but most of the stuff you see in the maternity market tends to reflect comfort and function rather than luxury and beauty. I was pleasantly surprised to run into Brazilian brand Mari M, which clearly seems to believe that glamour is for everyone!

Horses at Cuadra San Francisco in Cabo San Lucas

This is Cuadalquiver, the colt born two days ago at Cuadra San Francisco where I ride in Cabo. Pictured here with his mom, he spends most of his day glued to her side nursing.

I understand anticipation. I began writing this blog a few years ago as a hobby.   Initially, I had no expectations.  I just wanted to write as I am deeply motivated by the aesthetics that make life interesting and I have a passion for lingerie because this product, above all, appeals to the sensitive side of a woman’s nature.  Now, with a modicum of pride and some market persuasion, I am … Read More
