My Dirty Little Secret

I have a secret, I feel like I need to share.

Do you see that thing around my waist? It’s a corset, Yup a bonified steel boned Gone With The Wind Corset

Now I definitely don’t lace down to a 18 in waist, as much as I might like too. But I do like to wear them. Most of the time I wear one under my clothes but occasionally I wear them outside of my clothes.

Why on earth would I subject myself to this “torture” We are women and have long since passed the days of wearing things like this. I has a friend say to me when she found my collection of corsets.

I wear mine for a few different reasons. I have PCOS as well as a few other things that cause me pain. I have a lot of pain in my lower abdomen as well as chronic pinched nerves  and back pain. I originally got my corset because my pinched nerve was so bad I couldn’t stand up out of my bed without crying from the pain, let alone work, go to class or anything else.

Second I like the shape it gives me, with out my corset I don’t like the way I look in my work uniform for instance, with it My stomach is held inn, my waist curves in instead of bulging out, and I just think I look better.

Another reason I wear a corset is because I do have PCOS and have a problem with my weight. I wear the corset because I don’t eat as much when I have it on, not because I am not hungry, but because my stomach is compressed slightly and it causes me to eat slower and therefore realize when I am full and stop there!

I want to say right now this is NOT a sponsored post, (but hey if they want to sponsor me I’d be thrilled!) But all my corsets are off the rack corsets from one particular company. I get my Corsets from Corset Story. Particularly from their sale section. I have 4 underbust corsets and 2 overbust ones.

If you are interested in corsets or want to hear more about my journey with them let me know I would love to tell more people about this!

Graze Box!!!

I signed up for Graze.com and I got a yummy box!! What is a Graze box? A Graze Box is a box that comes in the mail, you can sign up for weekly, bi-weekly, tri-weekly or monthly boxes. They cost $5.00 a box and come with 4 yummy snacks!!

I had a little mishap with my first box, they were just opening up to US customers and it got lost in the mail, but the customer service is super nice and they sent me a free replacement box. What came in my Graze box? Here I’ll show you!

It comes in a cute little brown box, that is made of recycled paper, also it comes with a little recycled paper napkin.

When you open your Graze box there are 4 little compartments with your different foods, ( you can see what’s in the box before hand on the site and rate them if you liked/didn’t like the foods,) plus a little booklet with the nutrition facts for each snack!

These were SUPER yummy Strawberry and Cranberry granola bars!

and these were good but not great. I also LOVED the Carmel and dried apples but I forgot to take a picture of them! Then you can go on the site and rate the items!

 

If you sign up for Graze Box I would LOVE to see what you get and if you want to see more of these when I get my boxes let me know!
