STOP Junk Mail

I rush to the mailbox, pull out this huge stack of mail thinking "wow there are a lot of people who love me or I must owe a lot of people a lot of money" but it's neither I am quickly slapped with the harsh reality of JUNK MAIL. We all get it - and it comes in different forms, from what looks like hand written envelopes to over sized junk newspapers. I am sick of it and have you ever wondered how many trees are being killed to just throw in the trash - well I did and that's when I found 41 Pounds . It was started by 3 brothers to reduce the amount of junk mail we receive. Did you know we receive approximately 41 pounds of junk mail PER YEAR. That's 100 million trees being destroyed just to fill your mailboxes with junk. And as if that wasn't enough the energy used to produce and dispose of junk mail exceeds 2.8 million cars. Yes, that's right by reducing your junk mail you are helping to SAVE THE PLANET. So check it out - Go to 41 Pounds today!

GAP - Does it again!

Yes, that's right - they have impressed me once again.

You will want to pair this with your favorite jeans or even dress pants. The trapeze shape accentuates your figure while the ruffled front and shirred puff sleeves make a fashion statement all on their own. Do yourself and your wardrobe a favor and add a few new items. At $40 this is a great deal!

Posh & Becks - Fashionable?

Posh and Becks are here to stay - and I can truly say I am happy about that, well ok, just the Becks. From his full suited body of hotness to his scantly-clad cover of W the Becks knows fashion. Now on the other hand we have Victoria. From the Spice Girls days of being the center of attention -while the other girls were wearing bold colors Posh stood out in her full black attire, while they smiled she scowled so it's no news while in LA and traveling the US Victoria's style, or lack-there-of is something we are going to recognize. Check out these two glimpses. Here she is pictured in skinny jeans and pumps - this definitely gets a wink from me - she looks well put together and the jacket and sunglasses complete the outfit.

On the flip side it looks like Victoria needs to read the BRA & PANTY RULES - no she didn't wear a white bra with a white shirt but she definitely had some headlight action going on. She is pictured here with NO BRA - can we say not a good idea at all! Oh and not to mention, nice face : )

Boobs Support & Panty Patrol

It's true - whether they are young or old, real or fake, perky (now) or droopy -please ladies - give yourself some support. I spent my afternoon "out and about" and you wouldn't believe how many women I saw let 'em all hang out. After a very educational day I decided to come back and share some rules I think should strictly be enforced. You be the judge...

Over the years our bodies change - and so should our bras and panties.

MUST

1. Never, ever, ever place your bras in the dryer- they come out in weird shapes and if you have an underwire FORGET ABOUT IT
   


2. Wait at least one week after your period before buying new bras - trust me your boobs do change size - and if you don't believe me just ask your boyfriend, husband, significant other, girlfriend or mate ; )
   


3. Focus on fit not fashion - well that is if you care how you are going to look with clothes on - now if you are going to have your clothes off FASHION FASHION FASHION
   


4. Wear flesh or nude color bras with white shirts-white on white screams SUPER WHITE and you look like you have headlights
   


5. Try your bras on before you purchase - you will not be the same size in every brand - NOW I am the biggest offender of this one but HEY I'm trying
   

MUST NOT

1. Wear white pants with COLORED panties-I thought this was a no brainer -yup I was wrong
   


2. Wear a bra that is TOO tight- your boobs spill out from the top and your back gets wrinkles
   


3. Wear a tube top without a bra - put one on if you need it- your boobs will thank me later
   


4. Wear thongs that I can see - nobody wants to see your panties
   


5. Go without PANTIES if I am going to see your "plumbers crack," enough said
