Upbra Review: Does it Really Work !?

www.upbra.com

Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing weekend, Today I have a super exciting post, it is all about bra's... more importantly the Upbra. Let me start by saying I am truly amazed! I have never found a bra that has fit me more perfectly and has successfully given me the lift I have always wanted, my life has been forever changed!

For those of you who have never heard of Upbra and their amazing bra's, let me give you a quick rundown: "The Upbra bra was developed with 3 goals in mind: First, to create a bra that could give the kind of lift and cleavage that women never before thought possible. Second, to make that bra fully adjustable, so that women could select the amount of lift they wanted. Third, to create this lift and cleavage naturally, without excessive padding."

Now, you might be asking yourself how to do these bra's work? Well the answer is simple!
       Inside each Upbra bra is the patented Active Lift technology. This one-of-a-kind design is comprised of two flexible platforms, one within each bra cup, which are controlled by the Upbra's fully-adjustable cleavage control straps. These platforms are concealed within the cups, below a layer of soft fabric. The fabric is specially treated with vinyl hearts and when worn against the body, helps to grip the breath and keep them in place after adjusting to desired cleavage level. And last but certainly not least, is the locking system: comprising of evenly spaced slots at the bottom of each bra. All of these components together form the Active Lift technology.  For more information on how the Upbra works, click here!


Other features I love about Upbra:

• Their size range now goes from A-DDD and fits true to size.
• They have now released the Upbra Bikini. To view Upbra's swim selection shop here.
• The extended hook system- the Upbra has  4-hook system rather than the standard 3.
• All Upbra bras are made by hand in the USA to assure the highest quality.

After wearing these bras for roughly one week, I can tell you that the t-shirt bra is my favourite, it is beyond comfortable and looks great with all of my outfits! I have recommended Upbra to my friends, family and now I am so happy to share this brand with all of you, they truly DO WORK as you can see from the before and after pictures below, I can't wait to continue to wear them!

As a bonus Upbra is offering my readers $10 DOLLARS off their order with the code: LILUPBRASB10D

If you have any questions or would like to know more information about the products or my experience, please leave a comment!

Thank You Upbra! 

My Experience with Marleylilly

Want to know a fun fact about me? ... Although I may live on the East Coast of Canada, I still love all things southern. Their lifestyle, colleges, houses, food, clothing and most importantly everything monogrammed. I was recently scrolling through Facebook and an ad for Marleylilly appeared, having not heard of this company before I decided to check them out and I am so glad that I did!

Marleylilly is a super cute online store based out of South Carolina. They have everything from women's monogrammed shirts, jackets, jewelry, shoes, hats, vests, gifts and so much more.  Their website is easy to navigate, extremely organized, and in my opinion just plain beautiful with all of their fun graphics and bright colors. 

Features that I love about their website:

• When you first open their site you are welcomed with a FREE GIFT, usually a piece of jewelry. Once you you provide your email address they will send you a promo code for your free gift that you can than use on your order.
• At the bottom of the page you will find a section called 'Monogram Bloopers'. As they say on their site "We're only human, so sometimes we make mistakes. Search for your monogram to discover already personalized and non-personalized products up to 70% off!" I love, love, love this section. 
• In the States, they offer free shipping on orders over $75.
• They frequently have Flash Sales with TONS of reduced clothing, accessories, etc.
• At the top of the page is a link to their other boutique, Monday Dress, which has hundreds of beautiful clothing, jewelry, accessories, etc.  Although the items are not monogrammed it is still a site I highly recommend checking out.

After filling my cart with countless items, it was time for the difficult task of narrowing down my items to just two or three (especially since shipping was not free to Canada). After a hard time deciding as it was all such beautiful clothing, this is the shirt I decided to go with!
(sorry for the awkward lighting!)

*I would like to mention that all items were bought with my own money and opinions are my own. However, I would be open to collaborating with Marleylilly or similar clothing companies in the future if the opportunity presents itself!

MY FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO: PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND TRAVEL DIARY

IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED! I have made my first youtube video! I realize the quality is not the best, but the good news is... I can only get better from here. It would mean the world to me if you could show some support and subscribe to my channel as I plan on doing fun videos, giveaways and so much more!

August 3-5th, my family and I travelled to beautiful Prince Edward Island. Below is information of some of the sights, attractions, food, and much more featured in the video.  Enjoy!

Kindred Spirits Inn & Cottages: "Located on six acres in the heart of Cavendish and literally next door to Anne of Green Gables, Kindred Spirits is a quiet sanctuary in the middle of Cavendish, PEI." 
A pool and hot-tub located off the Inn, bikes to rent, playground, fire-pit, outdoor activities, games room and so much more, Kindred Spirits is the perfect getaway for all ages.

My family rented a two bedroom deluxe cottage and it fit the seven of us comfortably, it included:

• Master Bedroom: King Bed
• Second Bedroom: Queen or Double plus a single bed
• Full eat-in kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and dishwasher
• Large living room with a double sofa bed and fireplace
• Full bath
• Some units have a second bath (ensuite)
• Electric Heat
• All dishes and linens provided
• Dishwasher
• Cable TV and DVD players
• Propane BBQ
• Air Conditioning
• 6-8 person private hot-tub (MY FAVOURITE PART)
• Front veranda and back deck

The Dunes Studio Gallery and Café: Located in Brackley Beach, Prince Edward Island, The Dunes has breathtaking grounds, unique and creative items located in their Gallery and the most delicious food you will taste in the café. Although the atmosphere was very relaxed and staff were dressed in cool, funky clothing, it was one of the most elegant dining experiences I have ever had.  I enjoyed the Grilled Filet Mignon, Fire Grilled Beef Tenderloin topped with Braised Mushrooms in a Chianti Demi Glace Sauce. Served with Potato of the Day (Mashed with cheddar and turnip) and a Medley of Vegetables.

Cavendish Beach: On the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this natural sand beach stretches for 8km with the red sandstone cliffs on one end and the entrance to New London Bay on the other. The beach is located within The Prince Edward Island National Park and has lots of parking, changing rooms, washrooms and a canteen. Want a break from relaxing on the beach? Take a stroll along the beautiful boardwalk.

Pearl Bath Bomb Review

A fun fact about me is that I love surprises. Growing up I would spend all my money on those silly grab or surprise bags that were filled with outdated and cheap pieces of jewelry, hair accessories, etc.  When I saw an advertisement for Pearl Bath Bombs while online, I knew it was something I would have to try.

If you have not heard of Pearl Bath Bombs, I will give you a quick summary!

How It Works

Every Pearl Bath Bombs comes with a ring and redemption code. Place a bath bomb in your tub for a luxurious relaxing bath experience.

Inside each package you will discover a surprise cocktail ring valued at $10, and a redemption code hidden inside the bath bombs.

Enter your redemption codes on our Pearl Ring Reveal and see if you’ve discovered a ring valued at $100, $1,000 or $5,000! We will send the lucky winners a beautiful, exclusive ring in their size.

Didn’t discover an exclusive ring? That’s okay, everyone's a winner! We award all participants with Pearl Points. Pearl Points can be collected and used to purchase our exclusive rings or bath products. Every redemption code awards various amounts of Pearl Points.     

My Experience

After spending some time looking over their site I knew I had to purchase one right away. Their site is very user friendly, easy to navigate, and has beautiful pictures of their many bath bombs they have to offer.

I decided to go with the Strawberries and Champagne Ring Bath Bomb and headed to the checkout.

As I was purchasing right around Mothers Day, I was worried it would delay how long it took to ship out, but my order was processed right away, I was emailed a tracking number and it arrived to my door in roughly seven days.

After opening the much anticipated package, I was a little disappointed as my bath bomb had a crack around it and very small pieces began to break away from the crack. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt as I am almost certain that they did not ship out a broken bath bomb and the crack was caused while shipping as it had to travel from Chicago all the way to Nova Scotia.

I couldn't wait to try out the bath bomb and immediately began running a tub, putting the bath bomb in right away and as I am impatient when it comes to things like this, I held the bath bomb under the tap to speed up the process and get to the ring.

The ring itself, was a little larger than I would have liked and I have unusually small fingers so it is not a perfect fit, but overall I was happy with the ring and the whole process.

Along with the ring, you are given a redemption code for a chance to win an expensive ring, but I was not so fortunate and only won pearl points to add to my account. The points can later be redeemed  for free products, so overall I was not disappointed about not winning.

Overall, I loved my experience with Pearl Bath Bombs, I would highly recommend giving one of their products a try, and I will for sure be purchasing from them again.
