No more racerback sports bras! How wearing the wrong sports bra caused me so much pain

April 19, 2021 Paris B 23 Comments

I’m not a sporty sort of person, so when I buy sports gear, I just buy whichever seems most popular in style, or cheapest in price. I’m not terribly fussy!

no racerback sports bra

When it came to buying sports bras, I read all about how a racerback or cross-back design helped support your boobs better, by holding them in place while you pursue your exercise pursuits. It was also fashionable, and you don’t have the problem of bra straps slipping off your shoulders.

When I was doing light exercises like yoga, it seemed to help. A racerback sports bra, which is one that is crossed at the back, seems to pull your shoulders back too, so you don’t slouch so much. All in all, I thought I was doing the right thing, and stocked up on them as I got more active.

Then, I started wearing athleisure more, and when the regular dog walks started, I found myself wearing my sports bras more and more, for longer and longer hours.

And then I noticed that I started developing a pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder muscles. It got so bad one day, and I felt so stiff, that I swore up and down that something was wrong with me. But then, on a whim, I did a quick search online, and found that the sports bra could be the problem!

5 Things I Love Vol. 5 : New Year new beginnings

January 23, 2020 Paris B 4 Comments

I compiled my last ‘5 Things I Love’ post in September 2019! So much has happened since then! But it’s a brand new year, so it’s a brand new compilation of random things that I love, mostly happening in January 2020.

5 Things I Love Vol. 2: Bits and Bites

July 26, 2019 Paris B 15 Comments

I took a turn for the nostalgic last month, and hearkened back to the early days of blogging, when we’d share little random things in bite-sized pieces, because it was fun to. I enjoyed that, and apparently, so did many of you!

So, I’ve decided to make it a monthly feature – as regularly as I can remember to post LOL!

5 things random

What’s most interesting for me is how much has changed, or evolved, since my last post last month, so this serves as a nice little check-in for me with how I’m doing 🙂

Uniqlo Wireless Bra : My phone is now wireless – why not my bra?

October 8, 2018 Paris B 21 Comments

I’m a self-confessed Uniqlo addict. I’m such an addict that my wardrobe is an altar to Uniqlo past season designs, for I usually only ever buy their stuff on sale LOL! We talked once about whether it was aunty or cool, and hey, I don’t honestly care! But I’d only recently discovered the Uniqlo Wiress Bra, and am wondering why I never made the plunge earlier.

uniqlo wireless bra - beauty soft

I’ve been a big fan of the Uniqlo Bra-top since the first time I tried it. I now own so many, and travel exclusively in them. It wasn’t until my sister-in-law mentioned to me that Uniqlo Wireless Bra was just like the bra-top, only a bra, that I deigned to take a closer look.

The reason I was hesitant to try their bras was because it was wireless – from past experience, wireless bras tended to not offer sufficient support, even for non-ample boobs. The second reason was because I’d tried one of their panties, and found the quality to be lacking. I’d stayed away from their lingerie since.

But one day, I spotted the Wireless Bra on sale (naturally!) and picked one up. I haven’t looked back since! 😀

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
