Sports Bra: To Wear or Not To Wear

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Working out is needed in order to live a healthy active lifestyle. When running on a treadmill or taking a jog along the beach, we must support our chest area. A women’s breasts are a part of the body which expresses full femininity. As we age, our breast tissue will stretch and lead to sagging and/or stretch marks. The older I get, the

more concerned I am about how my breasts look without my bra, or under my shirt (I consider myself one of the very few women in California with a pair of natural boobs). In order to prevent gravity from destroying our womanhood, we must use a supportive bra. Especially when engaging in leisure activity, high-impact aerobics or competitive sports, we must always remember to wear a sports bra. But what makes a good sports bra?

sports bra

  1. A comfortable fit altogether; materials used, cups, and shoulder straps
  2. Each breast is supported individually from underneath in separate cups
  3. Shoulder straps sit comfortably on the shoulders, and have a criss cross or racer back for full support
  4. When moving, breasts are secured in cups and do not touch or bump into each other (this can cause bruising or tissue damage)
  5. Material is breathable and does not get saturated easily by perspiration (if material does not dry easily, sweat can lead to skin rash or chafing)

Have you evaluated your sports bra today? Protect your breasts from signs of aging, and wear a good sports bra. If planning on an active day, never leave home without one.

L.A.M.B. Zan Sandal Black Leather

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

LAMB Zan Sandal Black Leather

I am not sure how girls can stand this kind of sandals. But I know some guys who are turned on with when women wear one. But I know women loves different kinds of footwear, just as much guys love sports; so here it is, a brand new L.A.M.B. sandals named the Zan.

Zan sandals for me kind of resemble stiletto, boots, gladiator and peep toe shoes all together. And I bet most of you have at least three of the shoes in that list. The fusion of these ideas gives a refreshing footwear style that you can wear with semi-casual or formal apparel.

Its first six straps gives a crisscross designed leather while the remaining four straps on top, have adjustable buckles and zipper closure at the back. Behind is where you’ll find the ultra-slim heel that stands up to five inches. The outsoles have the L.A.M.B. signature-printed leather with extra one-inch lug platform attached beneath it.

If you can stand in these babies for more than an hour, you have to be a model. To women who wants to look sexy and trendy (and does not mind comfort much), grab your own pair now. It can be bought for $400 on retail and $379.99 online (depending on the website).
