The Lingere Addict

I'll be honest: I have been shopping Aerie for about 6 years now. I probably buy new underwear three times a year! Aerie is a sub brand of American Eagle, that sells lingerie, swimsuits, and other clothing. They are particularly famous because the company now only shows models that have not been photoshopped. There are many reasons to love Aerie.

1. No Photoshopping.

Aerie prides itself on not editing any photos taken of their models, and studies show that because of this, the sales boomed. I think this is the BEST thing any company has ever done.

2. They don't use any ridiculous marketing

The company began using the hashtag #aerieREAL in order to promote body positivity. By doing this, they allowed women to show off who they really are, and that no matter what they look like, they are beautiful. If you want to look more on their website, you can click here.

3. The clothes are actually marketed toward women

Aerie intentionally uses feminine patterns, and bright colors to "attract" young women. There won't be women with HUGE push up bras in their ads. Simply, they use "sweet, sporty, inexpensive bras, underwear, bikinis and pajamas [for] teen girls."

4. The product is hella comfortable

I have spent so much money at Aerie, on all types of products. I think that the best products they have are the bralettes. They are so soft and comfy and perfect under a loose t-shirt. They also look cute with a shirt that may be a bit too big, and would show the bra underneath.

5. They provide bra fittings to young women

Simply ask one of the employees to help, and you will get a personal fitting of any bra you'd like.

6. Perfect atmosphere for young women

Even in my 20s, I still feel welcome in the store. There is no dark lighting, and weird ads. The store doesn't smell like a truck carrying too many contrasting scents spilled. It's a bright friendly store, and it's a perfect place to shop.

7. All types of women are represented in their ads

FINALLY there are women featured in the ads that aren't 5'10" and a size two. Actually, the company just featured their first size 14 model as the face of the campaign. They also feature women with stretch marks, freckles, dark spots, and (FINALLY FINALLY) women of color.

8. 7 for $27 underwear

Honestly though this is the best deal in the world because you can mix and match any types of underwear you want. I have never been so happy to be able to pick exactly which pattern goes into my drawers.

9. Extended bra sizes

Aerie now features DD and DDD bra sizes!

10. The swimwear is ultra cute and fit for everyone

Aerie always makes sure the tops are put in, to.

11. They support organizations like National Eating Disorder Awareness.

This is the best because as a national company, they are allowing women to speak out about he issues that they are facing. These women are talking about issues that are typically thought of as "taboo" and not talked about.

12. They are constantly discussing women's empowerment.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
