Hello 2017!

I know every New Year I like to make a resolution for something. For most, the New Year is a time for self-improvement and resolutions — we all try our best to be better versions of ourselves. I don’t know what you have decided to work on this year, but I have decided that I need to love my body and myself more. I feel most women at some point in their lives reach a time where they finally recognize the importance of self-love. Of course, it’s not the easiest journey to accept ourselves as we are. We are our own worst critics. Also, with the constant push to be “better,” it can be difficult to not be influenced negatively. It’s tough to deal with the pressures of judgement and to stop comparing ourselves to others. I mean, self-improvement and growth is important but self-acceptance is very much part of how we can continue to move forward on our body-positive goals. I say let 2017 be a year about you and the little things that you can do to help you push toward loving yourself! For me, some of those little things are gorgeous pieces of lingerie. How can you go wrong with lace, tulle and silk? If you’re looking for something new to boost your mood this year, lingerie may be just the thing. My aim is to take you on an educational and alluring trip about the ins and outs of the lingerie world, through personal stories and tips for finding the right pieces. Let’s embrace our bodies and have some fun! Life’s too short for ugly underwear.
