My favorite part of Thursday mornings is reading your Substack before i get out of bed and join the chaos. You inspire me!

It’s amazing how early the world around us can shape the way we view our bodies. It’s so empowering to reclaim that right to decide for yourself what sexiness, femininity and beauty look like. Thanks for sharing this piece.

I agree! Thanks so much for reading!

This is great, I remember something from about 10 years ago with Adore Me. I didn’t realize VS bought them. Everyone should be able to feel confident in their underwear. Thank you as always for sharing your stories, I find them so refreshing and inspiring. 😁💛

I was so disappointed that VS bought them! But I still buy their stuff occasionally. And there are so many more options in the market than there used to be, thank goodness!

Yes! Even for our aging bodies, there should be new things on the market.

I love this post so much! My secret (well, not so secret now since I'm sharing it with you) is I want to do a boudoir shoot now that I'm in my 40s. I want to feel sexy no matter what age. I'm checking out Adore Me! Thanks for this post :)

Amanda | 40 & Giving Zero F’s's avatar

Ohhhhh I LOVE this idea for you! I actually did a boudoir shoot a few years ago (I was maybe 37?) and I loved it. I've been meaning to do another one, because I feel even more confident now than I did then. Maybe I should write about it.... :)

Yes! Write it! I think it’s such a powerful way to show confidence regardless of the bodies we think we should have or told we were supposed to have. It feels like a celebration of finally (at least for me) feeling good in my body after all these years.

We can wear sensual lingerie at any age, no matter our body type! I have Aphrodite shape body type, beautiful curves and I love it! 🔥🌹💋

Agree one hundred percent! It's like that old saying, "How do you get a bikini body? Have a body. Wear a bikini." :) All of use should feel sexy and empowered to wear whatever makes us feel sexy and empowered!
