You probably heard it a hundred times. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This is particularly true when it comes to preventing the signs of aging. Lines, wrinkles, bags and sags on the face are caused by a loss of the structural protein, collagen. I won't bore you with the specifics of how your body forms collagen with a complex process of linking peptides and enzymes, etc. I just want to give you some easy-to-follow, highly...more
It's unbelievable. Anti-wrinkle creams containing collagen and elastin continue to fly off the shelves despite the fact that they are, essentially, useless products. If you've had your money taken by cosmetic companies who aren't telling you the truth about how collagen really works, don't feel bad. There is no crime in trying to support the health of your skin. You just haven't been given the facts about how to stimulate collagen, naturally, for...more
Most bras, like the soft cup, are made to support, uplift, and enhance the breasts. I am surprised by the public perception that soft cup bras do not support the breasts. Most sports bras are soft cup. If many styles are made for sports, then they obviously can support your breasts.Soft cup bras come in a variety of support systems. The compression soft cup bra flattens your breasts against your chest. They will not jiggle much; however, you may look like a uniboob. Many smaller chested women like this style. The encapsulation soft cup bra style has separate cups for each breast and provides the best shaping. Many of these have side support, bottom support, or both. They come with or without padding and are best for full figure women. Finally, there is a combination of encapsulated and compression bras. These are great for the average cup size woman.A good fitting soft cup bra will uplift your breasts. They should be designed to lift them off the abdomen to allow for cooling and support.

The cups should be able to contain the breasts...more

With summer fast approaching, Plums Lingerie looks to its summer collection with an homage to a pioneering piece of beach fashion, the bikini.Although the bikini arrived in 1946, courtesy of two French fashion designers in the French Riviera, and was still banned as recently as the 1951 Miss World Contest, it was not until the 1960s that the bikini became de rigueur on the worlds beaches . The 1960 song 'Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' and Ursula Andress' iconic performance as Honey Ryder in the 1962 Bond film, 'Dr. No', helped to catapult the two piece swimsuit to iconic status.In recent generations, we enjoy a more relaxed approach to social convention (a century previous may have seen angry mob-like reactions to exposed flesh) and combined with today's shape enhancing materials means that bikinis are light-weight, comfortable and an essential item for the beach and poolside.Pre-1946 - Before the fashion industryThe history of the bikini is not as brief as the garment itself. This story doesn't begin in the 20th century. Minoan wall paintings and ancient Greek and Roman artefacts suggest that the bikini goes as far back as 1600BC. We can look to the women of the...more
