The Genie Bra

Warning: This post may not be of interest to you if you are male...unless you wear bras or are a pervert.

These pictures are not of me, by the way!



Due to my pregnancies and breast feeding with the girls, my chest size has changed dramatically, multiple times over the past few years.  Thus, I now have a drawer FULL of bras in a variety of shapes and sizes, none of which fit properly.

I've known for a long time I need to replace them, but have been putting it off.  Why?  MONEY!  I have a small band size and a big cup size and I simply can't find my size in standard department stores.  I unequivocally have to go to a high-end specialty bra store where each bra is at least $80.  Since I need a bunch, the idea of replacing my brazier wardrobe made me sick because it was going to cost me a fortune.

So while I generally ignore infomercials, one caught my attention recently: the Genie Bra.  The promise is that they will fit any size like a glove and be super comfy.  Probably because of the heat and humidity this summer, my bras have been driving me absolutely nuts lately - making me itchy, pricky and digging in all the wrong places, so just minutes later I found myself ordering the Special TV Offer online.  Hey 6 bras for $59.99 can't be beat, and since they offer a money-back guarantee, I decided it was worth a try. 

Only a few days later the bras were delivered to my door.  I got two packs of 3, each with one white, one black and one nude bra.  One pack is the 'classic' style, and one is the 'lace'.

And so, you ask?  They ARE super comfy and look great!  My only problem is that they have thick straps, so I am going to have to keep a few of my old, poorly fitting bras to wear with thin strapped garments, but overall, I have to say I'm pretty impressed...especially as someone who does not have a standard bra size and often has a great deal of difficulty finding things that are comfortable.

I've seen the Genie Bra in stores, but it does retail for almost $30, so this Special TV Offer (which is also available online) is really a good deal.

  1. I wore those all through my pregnancy! Super comfy :) I don't feel like they do much for my shape though, will have to see how they fit once I no longer need the easy access of nursing bras.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
