Halloween Perks Await - Dare to Go Braless?

Share

Alright, confession time: the thought of going braless? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Downright spooky for us well-endowed ladies. It’s like one of those classic Halloween fears – spiders ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ, haunted houses, or running out of chocolate. But, turns out, there’s a little magic in ditching the bra for a night – and some unexpected treats ๐Ÿฌ to go along with the trick.


Going braless may sound like a breeze for some, but if you’re packing a little extra up top, it can feel like you’re unleashing two wild ghosts ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป under that sweater. And while I'm not here to claim it's a fear-free experience (especially when stairs get involved ๐Ÿ‘€), I recently came across a book called Dressed to Kill ๐Ÿ“š that had me rethinking the entire support system, so to speak. In this book, authors Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer reveal some eerie facts ๐Ÿ‘€: wearing bras too often could affect our breast health due to restricted lymphatic drainage. This isn’t to say bras are the enemy, but it does add a little intrigue to the whole “take a breather” idea.



๏ปฟ๐ŸŽƒ So, in the Halloween spirit of embracing a little fear, I present to you the perks of giving the girls a night off!


It’s Liberatingly Spooky ๐Ÿ‘ป

I’ll admit, the freedom is both terrifying ๐Ÿ˜ฌ and a bit thrilling ๐ŸŽข. You get to see what it’s like to actually breathe without any underwire poking around like some sort of tiny Halloween pitchfork.

Let’s face it – they may move a little more, and honestly, that’s part of the fun. Nothing says “embracing Halloween” quite like letting the girls haunt freely under a loose shirt.


A Subtle Health Treat

Channeling Dressed to Kill wisdom ๐Ÿ“–, taking the night off might just be a small act of self-care โค๏ธ. Who knew? You get to dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ, laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚, and maybe even give your circulation a little bonus while you’re at it.


But please, for the love of all that’s holy (and unholy ๐Ÿ˜ˆ) this Halloween, DO NOT attempt to play any sports ๐Ÿƒ‍โ™€๏ธ or ride your broom ๐Ÿงน braless with the girls flapping around – someone could get hurt! This trick has its treats ๐Ÿญ, but when it comes to bouncing, let’s save that for the candy bowl! ๐ŸŽƒ

๐Ÿ“ Could Sports Be the Holy Grail of Youth? (Or Just the Best Excuse to Wear a Bra That Could Double as Body Armor?) Let’s talk about aging. Not the “wine gets better” kind — the “why did I just pull a muscle putting on socks” kind. When I turned 60 this year, I had a moment. Not a crisis — more like a WTF whisper from the universe: “Hey, remember when you used to be competitive, athletic, fierce?” Yeah. I remembered. Vividly. I was an athlete. Hockey, tennis, soccer, fastball — I didn’t just play sports in my 20s, 30s, and early 40s. I competed. I trained. I had calves that could crack walnuts and a confidence that could crack glass ceilings. Then came: ๐Ÿ’ Marriage ๐Ÿ‘ถ Kids ๐Ÿฆ  A pandemic ๐Ÿ’” A divorce (Yes, I collected the full set of adulting milestones.) And somewhere in the shuffle… I stopped playing. ๐Ÿฅ’ But Then… Pickleball. Yes, pickleball. The name is ridiculous. The game is revolutionary. It’s like tennis and ping pong had a baby — and that baby saved my life. I started playing. Then I started loving it. Pickleball reignited something in me. It got me moving, sweating, laughing, trash-talking, and yes — feeling young again. Not “I’m 25 and invincible” young, but “I’ve survived some serious sh*t and still look good in a skort” young. Recently, I played with a mother-daughter duo — the mom was 89 years old and absolutely crushing it on the court. She had style, sass, and a killer forehand. And I thought: If this is what aging can look like... SIGN. ME. UP.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Why I Love Canadian Women. Let’s get one thing straight… I don’t sell bras to the world. I sell bras to Canadian women. Why? Because we’re a different breed entirely — and I mean that in the best, most maple-syrup-fuelled, strong-soft, snow-shovelling, world-conquering kind of way. And I know this because I’ve seen it — I didn’t just create sportsbras.ca , I also created Women Talk, where I’ve heard the most raw, honest, powerful stories from women coast to coast. From tiny towns to big cities, I’ve seen what Canadian women are made of… and let me tell you — we are SO much stronger, softer, grittier, and more powerful than we even realize. Canadian Women: The Strong, Soft North We are the Strong, Soft North — soft when it comes to kindness, compassion, and probably our addiction to Tim Hortons… but strong in every way that counts. We’ll bake you muffins, lend you a snow scraper, cheer you on at your kid’s soccer game… but underestimate us? Big mistake. Huge. We’ve got grit in our veins, strength in our backs, and more power in our thighs than a herd of moose in mating season. We lift each other up, we lift our communities, and yes — we expect our bras to lift us too.๐Ÿ˜„ And that’s where I come in. Supporting Canadian Women — It’s All I Do ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ At sportsbras.ca , I’ve spent 25 years doing one thing: holding up the incredible women of this country — literally and figuratively. Whether you’re crushing it on the pickleball court, running after your toddler, hiking the Rockies, or just trying to get through Monday without a wardrobe malfunction, I’ve got you. I only sell to Canadian women — because I believe in keeping the bounce low and the standards high, right here at home. Why Canadian Women Are My Favourite People on Earth Let’s be honest — we live in the land of unpredictable weather, wild landscapes, and wilder families. We apologize too much, say "eh" without realizing it, and somehow survive winters that would make polar bears reconsider their life choices. But through it all, we stay funny, fierce, and freakishly friendly. We are tough as ice, warm as a campfire, polite as heck, and powerful beyond what even WE sometimes realize. We run companies, communities, households, trails, marathons, and our mouths when needed — all while showing up with kindness, humour, and that classic Canadian humility.

Bonjour boob lovers! It’s your favorite lift-loving globetrotter, Brigitte, fresh off a fabulous Paris escape with my two teenage daughters — and drumroll, please… we did it with carry-ons only. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ No checked bags. No baggage claim brawls. No 60-lb rolling suitcases slamming into cobblestones. Just three fierce femmes, three compact carry-ons, and a week of pure magic. Honestly? I deserve a croissant-shaped medal. ๐Ÿฅโœจ
