LET THE CORSET TRAINING BEGIN!

I've been wearing my corset for about 2 days straight now.... (with the exception of taking baths of course)

More detailed post coming soon.....

Body Modification Journey: Waist Training 101

I've been researching corset training for the longest time. I didn't actually consider doing it until I was at a renaissance fair trying on outfits. I finally purchased my first waist training corset (should be shipped to my address in a matter of a few weeks or so) I ordered an under bust corset because I was advised by someone in the corset business that that's the perfect fit for my body. (Also, I figure if my waist is tinier it'll make my butt look larger ;) )

What is waist training? 
Waist training is basically a form of body modification. It's the act (or art, as I like to say) of synching your waist to make it smaller and more feminine. Essentially making an hour glass figure out of your body. 

Here's more information that's in depth on waist training (from glamourboutique.com)

Waist training is a gradual process of waist reduction using a steel boned corset. Also known as waist cinching or tight-lacing the practice came to prominence in Victorian times but has made something of a comeback in recent years. Wearing a tight-lacing corset, exercise and eating a healthy diet can radically reduce the waist of men and women. Furthermore, the wearing of a corset whilst undertaking a healthy diet helps reduce food volume intake by constricting the internal organs thus helping promote the healthier practice of smaller meals, more often, rather than three large meals a day.

Tight-lacing as a means of permanent waist-reduction and re-shaping is a practice requiring discipline and is best achieved when the following 3 components work in harmony:

• Waist Cinching using a traditional steel-boned corset
• Healthy Diet
• Regular Exercise

Results will be slower and harder to obtain if the 3 major components are not practiced as a gradual programme of modifying the shape of the body.

Thrifting Finds: A Thrifter's Paradise in Las Vegas

I absolutely LOVE going to Deseret Industries when I have some spare time. I definitely find some interesting knick knacks/furniture/cool clothing. On my latest trip I went for apartment decor and got all of the items below for $30 even! Deseret Industries (the larger one) is located in North Las Vegas on 3750 W Craig Rd  North Las Vegas, NV 89032 and the phone number is: 702.649-8191. There's also another location (a smaller one) on 4655 E Flamingo Rd  Las Vegas, NV 89121 but I prefer the location on Craig because it's much larger and has more to offer.

Apartment Design Progression

Here's the progression in my living room. I bought a wooden rug for the couch area and brought in two tree stumps for decor (which is home to a lamp and my hookah). Then I hung 3 door mirrors horizontally to make the room look bigger and more open. 

Here's progress on the chalkboard wall nook area. I can finally chalk on it today!! Yay!!! I also went thrifting and bought vinyl records and put them on the wall for art. I also bought a super awesome birdcage as a centerpiece for the table.
