If you are petite and the straps and band work for you, then I recommend this bra. It’s beautiful in the black color, very well made structurally, and the material feels very expensive. Unfortunately I already cut off the tag after wearing it the first time without realizing it was overall too painful to continue wearing. It was not a cheap bra and now I’m out the money.

This bra looks better in person than as pictured. My cup size is F and this fits true to size, yay! Very pleased with the comfort, looks, and fit of the bra. I also really appreciate the nice rigid straps. They don’t flop all over the place. This was my first Elomi bra and there will hopefully be many more!

Despite other reviews of this brand saying these run big, I ordered the 16 and found it to be refreshingly true to size according to their size chart. My only quibble is I wish the fabric were a bit softer, but at the sale price I can’t complain. I wouldn’t spend full price due to the fabric and also I sometimes have to tug down at the sleeves (they ride up my inner arms).

I’d love to have this dress in a maxi as well, at a similar price, with relaxed elbow-length sleeves. Every girl should have one!

Update: I have two surviving plants out of the 40 seeds planted. The flowers were smaller than I thought they would be, but then, the picture didn’t show size context. I am very happy with my Black Barlows and would plant again, given that I love unusually dark flowers. They have survived well through our Zone 9 winter in pots!

I used to suffer from terrible seasonal allergies, particularly to pollen, dust, grass, and trees. I’m also allergic to cats and dogs, and considering that I have four cats and love to be around dogs, I had no choice but to get rid of the allergies. Now I take Vitamin A instead of allergy meds. I’ve used Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec, Zycam, and a number of homeopathic remedies from Hyland’s and Similisan, and this particular Vitamin A trumps all. I wouldn’t want to be without it. Solgar also makes a great dry one. If Thorne isn’t available, that’s what I buy.

It’s also fabulous for my skin. For a skincare supplement, it’s hard to beat Vitamin A.

FYI, the cats I’m referring to are indoor only. I don’t know if I’d still react badly to cats tracking in allergens from the outdoors, but working out in the yard among all the usual triggers doesn’t affect me anymore, so I’m guessing it would be ok. We would never let our cats loose outside, allergies or not.

The pros: love that the cover is dark enough to keep seedlings from being burned by direct sun; the moveable shelves; lightweight enough to pick it up and move it if it’s in the wrong place; it looks great in the garden! Nothing says “serious gardener” like a greenhouse, and I’m a show-off!

The con: the tear that I mentioned. It doesn’t affect its function, but after only a month in very gentle hands: really?! It’s about six inches now.

I’m sure I’ll get a lot of use out of this item over the years. Even if the cover wears out from the elements, I’ll always use the shelves and grids. It’s fastened to the ground with landscape staples and leaning against the side of the house so the wind can’t knock it over. If it weren’t fastened down, it would blow over probably by blowing on it — this is a VERY lightweight item! I love it!

Perhaps I don’t?!

If you’re debating whether your hair is too damaged to save but not wanting to lose length, buy this instead. It’s a small investment to save your hair.

Wish a bigger bottle was available, but I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth.
