13 Oct: Bravissimo!

Maybe you are lucky enough to know Bravissimo, the UK based on-line retailers that specializes lingerie, swimwear, and clothing for large breasted women. While in London I had a chance to visit their Oxford Street store and sit down with store manager Stojanovic´to talk about Bravissimo’s revolutionary approach, how it is impacting the lives of women, and future plans for the brand. Bravissimo is a pioneer in the word of women’s lingerie offering large breasted…

10 Oct: Sit and watch the birds

It’s has been a rough couple of weeks. It happens to everyone. When things in my life start to feel like they are piling up I am try to outrun them. My instinct is to double down my effort. I push myself harder. I start to take short cuts in my health, a missed meal, a missed workout, and get less sleep. My willingness to sacrifice my basic health is a path for more poor…

08 Oct: You’ve arrived

You’ve arrived! You made it and are probably both exhausted and excited to be at your destination. If you have crossed time zones you will also have some jet lag. The first couple of days when our bodies are likely to crave food and sleep. I try and follow the rules of three lights; light exercise, light eating and sunlight. Eat light. It is common to want to eat when we are tired, bored or…

05 Oct: In transit

I hate layovers. Most people do. They make long trips feel even longer. Hours sitting on a plane, shuffling off to a new airport. Shuffling back on another plane. Sitting for more hours. Layovers can be a minefield of bad health decisions waiting to happen. If you don’t make a plan, it is easy to miss the opportunities. Opportunities in a layover? Yes, you read that correctly. If I can do just two things on…

04 Oct: Inflight options.

It can be hard to travel healthy. Whether you are a veteran traveler or taking a flight for the first time, making healthy choices is challenging. I live in East Africa and travel a lot; several times a year. Here are my top five tips for making your inflight travel time comfortable. 1) Hydrate! Airplane air is very dry (and often cold). Be prepared to stay hydrated. Bring a large bottle of water on board…

bike ride

03 Oct: Ride Sally, Ride.

I rode my bike today. I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it took a lot of effort. Why was today significant? Six months ago I had bike accident and I haven’t been on a bike since. I made excuses week after week: I am too busy, it’s too hot, it’s rainy, and there is too much traffic. Like so many other things in life, the longer I put off getting back…

25 Sep: More frustrating than buying jeans

Is there anything more frustrating than buying a new pair of jeans? Yes, shopping for a sports bra! When I find a good sports bra, I buy as many as I can; I know they will likely be gone next season. Much like my running shorts, I have held on to sports bras long after they should be replaced simply because I can’t find anything comparable on the market. Women with larger breasts know well…

The short shorts

30 Aug: We wear short shorts

I know that I’m not only one who has notice. Surely other women are wondering, where have all the athletic shorts gone? I am a shorts girl. Sure, leggings are cute, but they are just not my go-to activewear. This is for two reason reasons. I am a sweaty mess when I exercise. Having to peel of my sports bra after a workout (which is a workout in itself) is bad enough. The last thing…

08 Jan: New year – same me

Let’s face it, 2017 was a tough year. It is understandable to want to rush out of the dying embers of 2017 into the bright light of a new year with refreshed ambitions and hopes. Even the movie the Last Jedi, in all it’s darkness, ends with a message of hope. Enter in the traditional of New Year’s resolution. Statements of resolve in which we dedicate ourselves to new (or recycled) personnel goals and objectives….

13 Dec: The perfect pair of jeans

The perfect pair of jeans will be the answer to all of our problems. They will make us more attractive, sexier and declare our independent. They are a staple in the modern wardrobe. The truth is I have never owned a pair of jeans that made me more attractive or sexy. In fact, it may be the most difficult article of clothing to buy, after swimsuits of course. For a very short period of my…
