    If you need more support for sports bras check out Moving Comfort. I have two of their Juno bras that work really well for bootcamp and HIIT!

    It’s funny the sports bra article is from Equinox’s blog. I go to Equinox and I never see anyone wearing anything other than a teensy bra with those strings in the back that criss cross every which way. The Lululemon Energy bra is a good compromise– cute straps but still has some support.

  3. Marlene says:

    Enell sport bras are fantastic for support. Plus, if one has a difficult time finding a size beyond a “C”, they have it. S/M/L doesn’t work for everyone, especially when it comes to high-impact sports.

  4. Heather says:

    What the student debt article doesn’t address, which is in my opinion one of the biggest issues, is that people are coming out with high debt loads which is limiting their spending power. My husband and I make very good salaries and are not in danger of defaulting on our loans, but our loans from law school are so high that instead of buying a house, or making other significant purchases outside of the bare essentials (which could help stimulate the economy), we are making student loan payments each month. So we can and do make our loan payments without fail, but as a result our ability to be active participants in the rest of the economy is limited.

    • Betsy says:

      Totally agree. My husband and I have good jobs, but because we don’t have any student loan debt (parents, scholarships, jobs) we are living a very different life than a number of our peers. People ask us all the time how we can afford to have kids, and we both have discussed student loan debt as a huge factor. The nuts and bolts financial factors get discussed, but the socioeconomic impact goes largely unaddressed in the media.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
