Think Pink!

October 5th, 2009

October is traditionally known as a month for cozy sweaters, pumpkin lattes, and Halloween. However, it is also recognized as the official National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year marks the 25th anniversary of NBCAM, as it is known.  The symbol of solidarity is designated by a pink ribbon, and many retailers utilize the color pink of the ribbon to support the cause.

Sylene is unique in that they offer expert fit advance and a variety of products specifically for post-surgical needs. This includes bras, breast forms, and swimsuits by such manufacturers as American Breast Care.

Another way to support  breast cancer awareness is to wear the color pink.  An adorable item is Mary Green’s sleep mask. It’s a luxurious accessory for any woman to treat herself, or a special something to give to a girlfriend as a gift. This mask is perfect for a jet setter or someone who just needs to get some peaceful rest.

As Seen On TV

September 28th, 2009

The many positive effects of exercise are well-known:  glowing skin, toned muscles, and stress reduction. However, for well-endowed women, the discomfort of vigorous activity can be too much to handle. Sports bras provide the additional support needed. Without one, a woman can damage ligaments in the chest or cause embarrassment and pain.

Natori makes an amazing style that was recently featured on the TV show The Doctors. On the episode dedicated to “Breast Breakthroughs”, the doctors concentrated on the health, well-being, and maintenance of breasts. They preformed a series of tests and the bra exceeded expectations.

It’s made out of a stretchy and soft cotton blend fabric. It features interior side paneling for maximum comfort during exercise while the covered elastic trim protects sensitive skin. The wide straps prevent pinching or binding, which is a common complaint woman have. Another problem that woman can’t stand about sports bras is that they flatten the breasts. However, this design allows for a more feminine look while still reducing discomfort.
