These sweet things are just what you need this week. Smoky grilled chicken breasts pair perfectly with peach salsa. Fruit and meat really were made to go together, and this recipe proves it! You can use freshly peeled and chopped peaches or frozen, prepared ones, depending on how much time you have. While the confection-like fruit mixture is simmering on the stove, you can switch gears and grill up the chicken. Spoon a bit of the sauce over each piece of chicken before you serve it. Yum!
A vintage girdle back during the Golden Age of Girdles (40ties, 50ties, 60ties), was a woman best kept secret. Women loved their girdles and wore a girdle everyday, and for good reason your clothes fit much better, your posture was a 100 % improved, and surprisingly you really did feel great with much more energy and confidence. Wearing a girdle daily also helps keep your weight under control and helps you limit your portion. Interesting enough there are also serious health benefits to being daily girdled, as humans standing erect along with gravity and time has a very negative effect on our internal organs, wearing a vintage girdle will give you needed control and support and hold your internal organs in their normal natural position.
The key to experience the real benefits of being in a vintage girdle like Rago 6210 which is a long legged high waisted boned and zippered panty girdle is to if you can find a professional corsetiere who can help you with getting the right kind of girdle and fit, plus help you with some girdle training.

In my case I come from the Golden Age of Girdles, and I have always wondered are there real benefits to daily being girdled. As I became older I started to get a belly with lower back pains, plus poor posture and low energy. I found a corsetiere who I found was very helpful. I set up meeting in her office she asked me certain question about my life style how active am I. I am fairly active. Then she measured my hips and waist. She determined that I needed a fair amount of stomach and back support, but a corset would be too limiting because of my level of activity. That is why she choose a long legged high waisted boned and zippered panty girdle for everyday wear.
Going through Girdle Training is quite an experience, she picked a girdle that was 2 sizes smaller - a girdle does need to be a little tight but not too tight just tight enough to give you needed stomach and back support.
The corsetiere had to teach me how to put on a girdle, lay down on my bed, lean way back pull up my knees and pull up my girdle, hook the hooks and eyes pull up the zipper and stand up. Wow was I amazed how great I felt being well encased and supported is really a great feeling.
The corsetiere told me to always keep my stomach muscles relaxed and just rely on the girdle to support my posture. She explained this takes some getting use to from a few weeks to even months, but the benefits are there, which I found out she was correct. By keeping my stomach muscles relaxed and letting the girdle support me I felt so much better with much more energy, I was pleasantly surprised.
The corsetiere then told me to develop a daily routine, wake up clean up and put on my girdle and go on with my day. Developing a daily routine can take a few weeks to months. Following what the corsetiere taught me over a period of time you find you really love being in a girdle.
It is really is beyond me after I experienced the benefits of being in a girdle everyday why women wouldn't want to be in a girdle. Women wear a bra but no girdle, when both a bra and girdle do go together and compliment each other.
