7 Frequently Asked Questions

What type of supportive underwear do you wear? Spanx?

Heck no! Contrary to popular belief, I do not wear a restricting undergarment with all types of zippers and strings attached. Lol, I reside in 100-degree on a daily basis Tampa, FL AND I have asthma … it’s hard enough to breath out here. No, but really. I don’t wear heavy-duty shapewear. It is EXTREMELY uncomfortable (I don’t see how anyone deals!), I’ve tried.  It shortens my breath and actually makes me panic a little. I wear a very simple panty shaper I purchase from Wal-Mart actually, $12 (I have like 6 of ‘em lol). It is by the brand Sweet Nothings. It does not have any zippers, hooks, strings, or even wiring … it is basic. It is super stretchy, it is supportive, but doesn’t work a miracle. It just really works with what you have. It doesn’t really create a new shape but tightens your natural frame without rounding you out, and it’s comfortable!  You can stand to be in it all day, and when you take it off your skin isn’t bruised or irritated. I’m pretty sure there are “better” support systems out there that have the potential to  further enhance my physique … but I’m not really interested in transforming my body via (very expensive) shapewear,well, because #AtTheEndOfTheDay, it has to come off my dolls.

What bra do you wear?

When I’m not wearing a fancy dress/ outfit, I wear the Ashley Stewart “Sport” bra. It costs about $40 and is well worth it. I can jump and my breasts won’t slap my chin, it is comfy, it has several support features, and I can wear it all day without pain and dilemma.  I have done a review previously on a few Lane Bryant/ Ashley Stewart bras check it out. As for dressing up, I get all of my bras from Dillard’s, no specific brand … they just so happen to carry my massive cup size without charging massive amounts of money.

Do you waist train?

This has to be the most frequently asked question right here! No, I do not. I never have. I have thought about it in the past, but probably will not in the future. As previously mentioned, I hate feeling stuffed into undergarments, and this one has to be the most confined unit I know of. I have one I wore to “dress up” in (from Fredericks) and I only wore it once. Every time I sat down it felt like I wasn’t breathing, and this one wasn’t even hardcore like the ones you’d wear under your clothes. I can’t. More power to those who can, I’m not knocking it. I’m not gonna be one to sit and carry on about internal damage and organ shifting, because I have no clue if those are actually legit side effects. I’m just saying, it’s not for me … because it hurts like hell. My natural waistline has enough of an incline; I’ll take that J

How tall are you?

5’6 and a half.

Yes. A half! It counts.

 Stop judging me.

Where do you shop?

When I say EVERYWHERE! A lot of the things I actually take the time to display on Instagram is all sponsored (sent to me complimentary for feature), so it’s from small online boutiques. But when I’m shopping on my own, it’s mostly: Forever 21+, Dillard’s, Thrift Store. My shoes are almost always purchased locally.  I’ll buy something from anywhere that has my size and a discount, though (yes, even Walmart). I’m more of a quantity type of girl and while I enjoy some, I care not for any particular brands/ labels at all times.

Have you had any work done?

Wait. Do I look like I have money like that?! Cause I don’t! Lol.  If my funds were long like that I’d be investing in things FAR LESS superficial, things that will support my vision/ mission, not necessarily oppose it. To answer, I’ve never had any work done. Nothing against anyone who has, especially if you did it so that you could finally love yourself/ body beyond limits. This question is usually referring to a breast lift. It always makes me chuckle because mine are not sitting up to my chin without aid. I mean, without support they definitely don’t hit the floor, I’m just saying, a good bra makes a difference chile.

Where yo man at?

Listen. I’m without a clue. When you find out (because you will right? obviously it’s rather significant to you), make sure I’m the first to know.
