Women are constantly put under pressure to wear a bra every day. While there are many affordable bras out there, bras that are the most comfortable are typically the most expensive. Women have several different body shapes and breast sizes, and it can be extremely difficult for them to find the right bra for an affordable price. There are many popular chain stores that offer various types of bras including Aerie and Victoria’s Secret. Unfortunately, these bras are extremely overpriced, and if you’re like me, you’re probably on a budget too. Bras should definitely be more budget-friendly, especially if wearing a bra is an everyday necessity for some women.

Many women feel that it is a necessity to wear a bra every day, especially in the work place. It’s just very unfortunate that women have to ultimately spend a fortune on bras, so that they can be comfortable. Personally, I have seen bras for as much as $80, which is outrageous in my opinion. Why should comfort have to cost so much? It’s actually be proven that wearing the wrong size or type of bra can be harmful to a woman’s breasts. This is bad, especially considering that not every woman can afford the bras that would be the most comfortable to wear. While expensive bras from brands like Victoria’s Secret are really just paying for the name, they still shouldn’t be priced so high. For some women, stores like this may be one of the only things that are available them to find bras.

There’s also the issue of women feeling like they have to spend a fortune on bras, when they really might not need to. Some women feel that they shouldn’t have to wear a bra every day, and that’s perfectly okay. At the end of the day, comfort should be what’s most important. If that’ includes not wearing a bra, then that’s how it will be for some women. Even if you feel like you have to wear a bra, but still want the comfort from not wearing one, bralettes are also always an option. They’re extremely comfortable, and much more affordable than regular bras. They are also being used to make a fashion statement. The different styles that they are made in allows them to look cute peeking out of the top of a shirt.

All in all, finding bras that are comfortable and budget-friendly can be difficult to come by. Many bras that are comfortable are way overpriced. Women should be able to wear bras that are comfortable, all while still being able to afford them. Many women, including myself, are on a budget and sometimes buy bras from chains stores are our only options, depending on what stores are around you. If women also don’t want to wear a bra on a daily basis, they shouldn’t feel like they have to.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
