I thought it might be fun to try v-logs. I’m super awkward, sound like Mandy Moore and wave my hands about a lot, but I think it’s a good first try! First topic: bras!
Lately, I’ve been strutting around like I am Hot Stuff. No, it’s not because I’ve lost 15lbs. It’s because I have joined the Proper Fitting Bra Revolution!
I am vaguely embarrassed that I spent six minutes grabbing my boobs, but oh well! XD
Who else has joined the proper-fitting-bra revolution?!
[...] this confidence booster! It can start a positive-feedback loop that is priceless. The Curvy Nerd blogger swears that she felt so glamorous in her new Intimacy bra that she started “strutting around” [...]

Did you go to Intimacy?! I don’t know any other places that charge soooo muuuuch. They put me in a 40H when I was wearing a 44DDD or something stupid, so that was a big change. I still think they weren’t fitting me right, though, and the last time I went shopping I got a 38K and it’s working much better. Soooo muuuch trial & error and money, but I agree the results are worth it. Until it’s bra shopping time again, anyway. Oh wait, now I finished the video. Yay Intimacy! And I had no idea about the guarantee, wish I’d known sooner!
I love Intimacy! The prices still make me cry, though. I am waiting for their next sale to round out my bra collection. I’m still wearing my “bad, old” bra on some days so I don’t wear out my two good ones. The guarantee bit was relayed to me by my friend Emily, who is a devoted Intimacy customer… I haven’t put it to the test! I hope it’s 100% true!
OK, not related to the topic at all… but I just wanted to say how awesome it is that you posted a vlog! I always enjoy seeing and hearing the people whose writing I read. And I can barely bring myself to post a picture of me! Also it’s funny that you said you sound like Mandy Moore. I never would have thought that.
@Cortney Awww, thanks! It’s very weird seeing/hearing myself talk BUT it opens up a bunch of possibilities in terms of topics that are too cumbersome to write about (ie: apt to turn into tl;dr essays).
I hear you on the pain of the prices. I’m wearing standard compression sports bras (two at a time) around the house so that I can save my 2.5 good bras for work and such.
I think you should definitely do more video blogs! You’re a great speaker!
