Do you have any old bras that have seen their better days?  Rather than tossing them in the trash, you might consider extending their lives by turning them into purses.  Popularized in efforts to raise awareness about breast cancer, such bra conversions have inspired contests, auctions, and even museum exhibits.

The good news is that it’s easy to turn your bras into purses.  All you’ll need is the following: a strapped bra (underwire styles work best but any style will do), a pair of scissors, some needle and thread, a glue gun, and any craft materials found around the house (like beads, pieces of lace, ribbons, etc.) that you’d want to use as decorations.

Philosophers have mused about it.  Artists have sketched it.  Poets have written verse about it, and musicians have sung its praises.  But most fail to do it justice.  Is it a work by Socrates, Michelangelo, or Homer?  Is it one of the natural wonders of the world?  Is it an elegantly simple, unifying, scientific principle?  Nope.  It’s the foundation of foundations; the classic piece of intimate apparel that should be a part of every woman’s wardrobe.  It’s the bodybriefer.  Though you’re undoubtedly acquainted with it, and may have heard it referred to by one of its many aliases – all-in-one, body shaper, body slimmer, bodysuit, or body glove  – you’ve probably never worn one.  As we enter that time of the year (Halloween through New Year’s Day) when most people put on at least a few pounds, it’s not a bad idea to keep the bodybriefer in mind.  Why?  Because it allows you to continue to wear all of your favorite outfits, and look fabulous in them, until your New Year’s resolutions kick in and warm weather once again accommodates a regular exercise routine.

Halloween is fast approaching.  If you’re like most of us, you’re scrambling this week to make sure that the candy, pumpkins, decorations, and costumes for the kids will all be ready for Sunday night.  And if you’re like a growing number of adults, you’re also making sure your own costume’s ready for “Dress-Up Friday” at the office, that big party on Saturday night, or your Sunday night candy-distribution and trick-or-treating-chaperoning duties.  As you plan your outfit’s finishing touches, you might want to consider including something that hasn’t traditionally been associated with Halloween costumes – shapewear.  Why?  Here are five scarily-good reasons.
