Can a Bra Change Your Life?
Introducing Braologie + Giveaway

This post is about bras, posture and breasts, please use your discretion.

 I complete most of my work sitting at a computer desk, admittedly with not very good posture.  I tend to slouch my shoulders forward which not only gives me chronic neck and back pain, but over time leads to a weird gait as well.  Up until now, stretching and physical therapy exercises have helped to ease that pain and strengthen the muscles, but it isn't enough to keep me from slouching when I sit and when I walk.  

Now, however; I have found a solution that has provided so much more than just posture correction!  Several months ago, a new innovative lingerie company contacted me, offering a free posture consultation as well as prototypes of their new posture-supporting undergarments.  Since posture has been a continuous problem for me I was eager to try it out hoping to find a way to bring more support and correction to my problem areas.

My first step was getting a free online bra-fitting service as well as posture analysis and feedback.  I submitted the following ultra glamorous before pictures, as well as answered several questions:
Shortly after Braologie received my completed questionnaire and pictures, I received a report back that explained the noted issues: slumped shoulders, wandering breast tissue (yes, seriously) and protruding abdomen, and then offered several recommendations and specific posture support garments that would help to correct the problems.  I am not going to lie, I couldn't wait to get my hands on these garments to see what difference could be made.  A few weeks later and I had received my Functional Bra, Mini Vest and Long-Leg, High Waist Panty.

Posture-Contour Pants


After just a few weeks of wearing these garments I began feeling less neck and back pain.  I also noticed I looked more feminine and had a more held together shape.  (Who wouldn't love that!?) I also began to notice that my breasts were starting to be more full, mostly due to the breast tissue that had escaped to the sides of my body.  To say I was impressed is an understatement!  After several weeks, Braologie followed up with me to get my pictures while wearing the posture support garments - here are the, again, super glamourous images I sent to them:
I continue to use Braologie lingerie often - especially when I am finding myself reverting back to bad posture or when I want to slip into dresses that highlight my natural curves.  I love that the undergarments are breathable and comfortable too!

Braologie recently launched a beautiful website explaining all of their features and benefits and to help celebrate, they have very generously offered to give away a Posture-Contour Mini-Vest and a Posture-Contour Pant to my readers!  You can enter one or both giveaways, there will be one winner for each prize and the giveaway is open internationally!

You can also use code baxtronlife at checkout to receive 5% off your purchase at Braologie during the length of the giveaway!

I Want to Ride My Bike!
Mightee Kids March 2013

We love getting our Mightee Kids box in the mail each month.  You can see that Zion gets as excited as I do when a package with her name on it comes!  This March, Mightee Kids partnered with Kids on Bikes, an organization that provides urban low-income youth with bikes and after-school programs that educate on Bike safety.  Many of these kids wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to own and enjoy riding a bike, plus it enables many who have to walk long distances to school the added ability to get there more conveniently!
 
Mightee Kids put together a fabulous flyer to use to share with Zion this month, explaining in kid terms how Kids on Bikes works.  And of course, now Zion feels she would love a bike to ride too.  :)  
I love the bold colors and fun font on this month's tee, and the fabric of the tee is top quality - so soft and comfortable.  I wish they made adult versions!!!  

This month, Mightee Kids is supporting Autism Awareness with the Autism Society.  Check out this month's shirt here.
I received a complimentary Mightee Kids Box for March for the purpose of writing this post.  All opinions expressed in this post are my own!  We love Mightee Kids!
