HealthyBabs's Journal, 24 July 2011

Finally home after a wonderfully relaxing weekend at the beach for me and hubby. It was great to escape the excruciating heat here of 107* to a nicely air conditioned hotel room.

We went to the Mystic Aquarium yesterday which was interesting. Followed that up with more shopping. I got 5 X-mas presents bought and tucked away. Boy, that is a first for me. DH doesn't usually take a liking to walking around with me while I shop but he knows I don't get much chance to poke around in the shops. He made an appt for me for a facial and then guided me over to the place for my "surprise" which was wonderful, he then bought all the products the gal used on me when she was done. WOWSA...I am in heaven!! He then took me to a Southwestern store and bought me a pair of red cowboy mules (the front looks like a cowboy boot but it is a backless healed mule type shoe)....love them and can't wait until fall is here to wear them! Next place I found was a Hanes/Playtex/Champion outlet shop. I really need new bras and the gal there was so helpful. At this point DH opted to walk back to the hotel while she measured and helped me pick out the right bras for me. Who knew I had been doing it wrong all these years!! I will tell you, if you have never been professionally measured etc, please ladies do this for yourself. I got 4 bras that lift those girls up like they were only 20 years old!!!! Oh yeah, best part I went from a 46D to a 42C. Got a bunch of new undies (down a couple of sizes in those too), 2 pairs of PJ's and 2 new Champion dry-fit work out tops.

Swam a bunch after the shopping trip and then opted to stay at the hotel for dinner, we were exhausted and neither of us felt like driving anywhere. Had great seafood chowder and fish & chips made with freshly caught New England cod. We did split a dessert of a lemon creme cake with fresh strawberries.

Headed home this morning after breakfast well rested and deciding that since this little gem of a place is only an hour away from where we live it will be a frequent destination for us for a quick get away weekend.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Nice work on the bras! You are so right, the correct size bra will give you the support you need & also make you look slimmer! Congrats on the downward progress in sizes, that is awesome. Glad you had a fun getaway!

I guess everyone deserves a little pampering! Isn't it nice to get into smaller sizes!

It sounds like an AWESOME weekend.

Buffy & Kat-I knew I needed the smaller bras, I was almost resorting to putting safety pins in the cups to make them smaller! The new ones are so pretty and less like a utility bra (my name for the old playtex plain white functional bras!)

Very nicely done all around, Babs, especially the bras! And what a hubby! He deserves much credit!

Lol @ the safety pin idea! Glad you two had a great time at a close by gem. You should be able to find very cute bras in your new size easily now ( a benefit even DH's like...;) ). Have a great day!!
