A good well fitting bra and not being in pain or uncomfortable has to be the foundation of glamour though, right?

But I do need to stop growing! 😳 Not sure if it’s weight gain (shouldn’t be - the scales are moving up and down a bit but I haven’t actually gained much in the last year or so) or the HRT but I used to be small to midsized I’m now developing a ‘shelf’! (Mr KK was a bit non-plussed when it first started! 😂😂😂😂).
