Review: Aerie Wireless Bra and Bralette – Perfect for WFH & Travel

Hello lovely humans. I hope you’re all surviving, thriving and doing whatever you need to get through these crazy times. Since we’re all staying at home a lot more than normal comfort is KEY when it comes to our ensembles. So, I decided to order myself five different styles of wireless bra and bralettes from Aerie. Lord knows I do not need an underwire in my life trying to stab me in the heart or slice into my ribs. Also, the wireless bras and bralettes will be great for travelling when we can finally get back out into the world again. Of course, having a large chest (36E UK size) I had my concerns and reservations about wireless bras. Honestly, I would have believed it was impossible if I hadn’t watched some Youtube videos by Sierra Schultzzie and Caralyn Mirand . But, seeing several ladies try bralettes on successfully gave me the confidence to order a bunch for myself. In this post I’ll take you through the different styles I ordered, why I chose...

Berlin: Much More Than Its Past

I've begun this post about four different times now. And each time I've deleted everything, leaving me to just stare at the blinking cursor on the page. And it's not because I disliked Berlin, or that I don't have anything to say about it. In fact, it's quite the opposite — I LOVED Berlin , and feel like I could write a whole month's worth of posts about this fascinating city and its history. But the world doesn't really need another blog post about Hitler, does it? It's tricky, writing about Berlin. How can I – an outsider – sum up where the city has been and where it is going in a few hundred words? The truth is, I can't. Yes, I could rattle on about Berlin's history. About how the city was thrown into economic turmoil after WWI. How, by 1923, $1 was equal to about 4.2 billion Deutschmarks because of outrageous inflation. How the economic and political instability of the post-war Weimar Republic paved the way for Hitle...

Why I Became a Solo Female Traveler

Posted: 09/10/2014 | September 10th, 2014 Last month, I announced I’d be bringing monthly columnists to this website. On the second Wednesday of the month, Kristin Addis from Be My Travel Muse will be here to give you great tips and advice on solo female travel. Her column starts this month. Let’s get to know her! I sat on the beach in Cambodia, amazed that a white sand beach so pristine still existed in the world. There were no towering resorts or people with fancy drinks with umbrellas walking by. It was virtually empty. This was my second week traveling alone. I bought my one-way ticket to Southeast Asia, and, sitting on this beach, I knew I made the right decision. I never did a lot of traveling when I was younger and certainly had never backpacked alone — or, really, at all. Four years earlier, I’d lived in Taiwan as a language student for eight months. After coming home and getting a full-time job like I thought I was supposed to, I couldn’t shake my desire ...
