Live Beautifully Stories

I'm a wife and mother who believes in a comforting atmosphere at home. I pay attention to lighting, scents, sounds and comfortable furniture. As a result, my house is a place where people relax.

I love being home in my comfortable pajamas with a fire going in the fireplace and a good book or movie and comfort food.

I appreciate the thick, padded shoulder straps on my Bali minimizer since having major surgery several years ago. It is an absoloute must for me and keeps my physical therapist happy too. AND I don't have to compromise on looks or fabric breathability. I also find that I cannot wear a bra with less than 4 sets of hooks and eyes in the back without compomising support. I wear a 36 DD. I've been a Bali fan since I bought my first "real bra" back in the 1970's.

Having had a mastectomy, which removed ALL breast tissue on my left side, I found a Wire bra hurting me all the time. However, I found Bali wireless with "blooming petals" which thus does not show that one breast is missing to be the answer.



I feel better because I look better.

After a long and difficult day, I like to relax on the couch under my fluffy quilt and watch an old movie as a lovely scented candle burns and wafts its aroma through the room -- instant comfort!!

I've reached my "golden" or "silver" years or whatever precious metal they tag them. Actually, they sort of "snuck" up on me. Life is rather busy these days. My Dad is 95 and I am his only child and caregiver, so beiing comfortable in everything I do is of utmost importance. I must be able to move freely. But, I am still a female, feminine, girly girl! I want to be pretty in and out.I wear the Bali Tracings Minimizer bras 7 days a week; and although I have lost quite a bit of weight, I still find them so comfortable with the padded straps, they come in lovely colors, and clothing fits well.

Exercise in bed!



I have been doing that, for at least, the last 40 years. Before getting out of bed in the morning I have been doing leg raises, extentions, sit-ups, a series of 12 times each before I plant my feet out of bed. It wakes me up, gets the circulation going and energizes me to continue additional floor exercises and a daily walk. (It used to be a run.) In good weather we play tennis, (out door only), 3-4 mornings a week. I am 73 and have no problem with ANY aches, pains or arthritus. Feeling good inside is truly a gift I give myself!

i just celebrated my 28th wedding anniversary on valentine's day and have always tried to keep my life comfy and cozy.

i like to spice my love life up atleast once a week with a new beautiful bra and panty set, candles, a nice floral aroma in the bed room, warm sheets and a mind that is completely free of any worry for this special time.

this refreshes me and my husband, gets our minds off of what is going on in the world for a short time, but i feel everyone needs "free time"!

I relax by doing the things I love like biking, taking my dog for a walk, gardening, and crafts. And, of course, I do these things in comfortable clothes on the outside and underneath(like Bali).

I unwind by singing. Singing to the "top of my lungs" while driving. Most of my singing is rehearsing with a practice CD for my church choir presentation during next Sunday's worship service.
