Feel Good On The Inside And You Will Shine On The Outside!

     When dealing with yourself, here are a few things to consider. Nothing is more sexy or attractive than a confident woman! It is very important to have fun and relax, everyone is attracted to a smiling face. Take care of yourself, you are worth it. No one is going to love you as much as yourself, If you love and respect yourself others will follow your example. Be careful not to criticize yourself, it only leads to loss of self esteem. Instead of criticizing, try to catch yourself each time and replace it with something positive. This may take some time to master, we often don't realize how hard we are on ourselves.

     Exercise, even walking releases endorphins that make us feel good. Don't compare yourself to others. There is no one just like you. Admire your own special atributes. Also be careful not to be critical of others, it only makes us feel less than adequate. After all it is a  Golden Rule..."If you have nothing nice to say........." Look for good in others, it will help to promote a positive attitude within yourself!

     Revel in your accomplishments instead of failures. Keeping a journal of all you are thankful for, is helpful in this area. And lastly forgive yourself and others everyday, give yourself permission NOT to be perfect, no one is or ever will be.

 

 

 

How to measure the proper bra fit

Bra sizes are made up of two components: An even number that represents the back size (32, 34, 36, etc.) determined by the size of the torso. (see Figure 1, line A) A letter that indicates the cup size (A, B, C, etc.) determined by the size of the breast itself. (see Figure 1, line B) Important Note: Always measure while wearing your own best fitting bra. 

To determine the back size (torso measurement): Have someone stand at your side and bring a tape measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under the breast (see A in figure above). Add 5 to the measurement (i.e. if "A is 29", the back size is 34) After 33 inches, only add 3 inches to the back measurement (i.e. if "A is 35", the back size is 38) Verify the back size: Measure around the top of your breasts (the line above B in the figure above). This measurement should equal your back size calculation. For example if you measured 29 inches around your ribcage, the calculation is 29 + 5 = 34. The measurement above your breasts should equal 34. Hints: If the back size comes out to an uneven number, try the next size up. If you are in-between sizes or you are having difficulty finding the correct fit, then if you go up in cup size come down in band size or if you go up in band size come down in cup size. For example, if you are wearing a 42D, but it is a little too snug around the band, then you would move up to a 44C.
To determine the cup size (breast measurement): Have someone stand by your side and bring a tape measure loosely around the fullest part of the bust (see B in figure above). Subtract the back size from this measurement (ie. if "B" is 37" and the back size ("A" +5) was 34, the difference is 3"). This difference determines the cup size (see chart below). The chart below should be used as a guide only. Sizes actually vary slightly from one manufacturer to the next.
