The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bra: Lifting Adventures

Ever gone on a trip and realized you packed the wrong bras for that horseback riding adventure or pickleball match? Painful mistake!!!

A friend of mine (we’ll call her Sarah to protect the unsupported) came back from a romantic getaway to Mexico with her boyfriend and immediately called me. Not to gush about the sunsets, the margaritas, or the dreamy beach walks—but to confess her massive packing mistake.


Sarah had packed push-up bras for “nice vacation vibes” and ONE comfy pullover sports bra for lounging. She figured she was set. She figured wrong.


Push-Up Perils & Pullover Problems

The first disaster? Pickleball.

Sarah and her boyfriend had a fun little couples competition planned at the resort courts, but what she didn’t plan for was her push-up bra trying to escape the match.

“Brigitte, I swear my boobs were moving more than the ball,” she told me. “Every time I jumped or reached, I had to stop and fix them. It was NOT cute.”

She finished the game—barely—but her boyfriend won, mostly because she was too busy readjusting. 🫣🎾


Then came the horseback riding excursion. 🐎

Sarah imagined herself riding along the beach, wind in her hair, looking like a movie star. Instead, she was bouncing uncontrollably, holding onto the saddle with one hand and her chest with the other. The pullover sports bra she thought would be comfy? Useless. Zero support. And the humidity made it cling to her skin like a wet swimsuit.

By the end of the ride, she wasn’t feeling romantic—she was chafed, sweaty, and swearing she’d never leave the country without a good sports bra again. πŸ˜…πŸŒ΄

The Sisterhood of Smart Packers

Sarah learned her lesson the hard way, but she’s not alone. We’ve all been there. Packing bras that seem fine, only to find out they betray you the moment you move.

So take it from Sarah (and me!):
βœ”οΈ Pack at least two sports bras—one to wear, one to rinse.
βœ”οΈ Skip the push-up for anything active. Trust me.
βœ”οΈ Choose moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics—because sweat is real.
βœ”οΈ If you have space, the ENELL RACER is a game-changer.

Life’s too short for bad bras, sweaty regrets, and losing at pickleball because of a wardrobe malfunction. Pack smart. Play hard. Look great doing it. βœˆοΈπŸ‘™πŸ–οΈ

Every year, like clockwork, Canadians divide into two passionate camps: Camp WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER, YOU MONSTER and Camp LIGHT IT UP, BABY, IT’S NOVEMBER 3RD. And then… there’s me. I put mine up the first week of November! Yes, seven days before many believe “the season has officially begun,” and I regret absolutely nothing. Because honestly? The moment the tree lit up, my whole living room felt warmer, happier, and more peaceful — kind of like slipping into a perfectly supportive bra after wearing the wrong one for years. Because as soon as the girls stop bouncing, you power up like the NYC tree on lighting day — boom, instant confidence, and ready to sprint through Times Square like a woman on a mission!

Goodbye summer of 2025—you were short, sweet, and just supportive enough to lift us higher than we thought possible.

Fall has always been a shifting season for me—kind of like my bra drawer, constantly evolving, never quite the same from one decade to the next.
