I had seen Glass Dharma straws pop up here and there all over the internet recently and I was extremely happy to be able to give them a try in our family! We received a variety of shapes and sizes to try out and … Continue reading →

It comes right up and sits underneath my bra line so it starts “sucking in my tummy” right from where it starts! Other shapewear that I … Continue reading →
