How Stayfree® pads Got Me To Talk About My Bra (And Breasts)

It was a few weeks before the BlogHer Conference that I got contacted about doing a round-table conversation about comfort, sponsored by Stayfree® pads. I was excited! (1) Any opportunity to share my opinion(s) is always phenomenal, like I don’t ever get tired of sharing my opinion(s), and (2) I had never, ever done anything like this. The day came, and I was nervous. And scared. And anxious.
Like I mentioned in the previous post, I was to appear to the green room by 1:00 PM and my flight was landing at 11:35 AM, so I prayed really hard to get there on time. I didn’t check my luggage in because I was so afraid that they will lose it, so I used two pieces of luggage as carry on. I got to the green room at 12:59 PM. Whew!
The makeup artist had touched up everyone’s makeup, so she started with me when I got there. She said my makeup was perfect, so she only added some lose powder and lipstick. The few minutes she spent on my face, we spoke the entire time. Although my lips moved and words came out of my mouth, my brain was someplace else: what to say at the round-table conversation.

In the taping room, there were lights and cameras. I don’t remember how many now, but definitely more than I had ever seen. There was a sound guy who taped the microphone inside our outfits, and I was fascinated by it all. A sound guy was touching me! And there were people mingling around in the background, and when the conversation started, without even trying, my eyes were suddenly blind to everyone in the background. My focus and attention was on the beautiful women seated in front of me.

BlogHer Conference - The ladies who did the video

L – R: Jillian, Kim, Stacy, and me[/caption] Stacy Morrison, BlogHer’s editor-in-chief was our moderator. She asked us several questions, like what made us comfortable in our own skin, and how our blogs made us feel, and how we balanced our lives, and many more questions. But my favorite question by far was, what I wore at home, in my comfort zone. I was too happy to say, t-shirt, underwear, and NO bra! It was the truth. And even now as I type this post, that is exactly what I’m wearing: black t-shirt, purple underwear with JEALOUS written on the back (and come to think of it, jealous of what??), and of course, no bra.

And this talk of no bra led me to talk about my post where I mentioned that I always come home, take my bra off, and throw it anywhere it lands. And before I knew it, I was on camera talking about my bra and breasts with three lovely ladies I had just met, and on camera. I loved every single bit of it. I could not have had it any other way. And if there is ever another opportunity to discuss my breasts, bra, underwear, and the comfort that they come it, I would be more than happy to do it.

    Breasts and bras? Perfect conversation for girls!

    With four kids, about the only way I get to pamper myself is to get my hair colored once a month! There is something therapueutic about getting my hair washed and styled without interruptions from the little ones!

    I pamper myself by getting a foot massage when my feet are really hurting. Then I soak them in lavender salts.

    Fragrance is how I pamper myself. I can scrimp on other things but splurge on my favorite perfumes. And I don’t save them for special occasions. I wear them all the time. I love how I smell. 🙂 And nothing makes me feel more special than a complete stranger walking by me and saying “ooooh you smell great!”

    I pamper myself by buying annual flowers each spring and fall. I really should only buy perrinials because of my tight budget, but I just love working in the dirt too much to not plant something every season!
