Clothes & Gear

Glamorise Sport Wirefree No-Bounce Camisole Bra

November 29, 2013 Edith B

I packed the Wirefree No-Bounce Camisole Bra from Glamorise Sport (back hook), another great design by the people at Glamorise, for my 2-week backpacking trip across Guatemala. ►►►

Glamorise Sport Double Layer Custom Control Bra

November 22, 2013 Edith B

This one is for the ladies! Another challenge faced by Plus Size backpackers is to find a decent & supporting bra that won’t stink at the first drop of sweat, take forever to dry or ended up all crooked. ►►►

October 25, 2013 Edith B

In order to keep you entertained (and, hopefully, not too broke due to excessive shopping) while I’m backpacking through Guatemala, here is a list of Plus Size Retailers that offer Backpacker and Travel-Friendly clothing. ►►►

First Aid : Little Kit Does A Lot

October 11, 2013 Edith B

What matters the most is that you don’t go all “Traveler’s What If Syndrome” while packing. What you can do to save yourself some space and time is to do as much as you can in advance. ►►►

Health, Safety & Tips

An Introduction To The “Traveler’s What If Syndrome”

October 2, 2013 Edith B

Most of you don’t know my mother… As I’m getting older, I get to know her so well… mostly because I start to act and react like her so often! She’s a relatively “practical” packer and packing the car for a weekend away at the chalet or to move my stuff to Montreal for university was for her like a Tetris game… ►►►

Clothes & Gear

September 17, 2013 Edith B

With every week passing by, I’m getting more and more thrilled about the products I ordered that I’m reviewing for you here… and this one is no exception.

Women’s Plus Active GoDRY Graphic Tee by Old Navy

September 17, 2013 Edith B

Another pick from Old Navy’s Women’s Plus Collection!
Do I have to remind you how excited I was – as most plus-size women – that this collection was finally made available to Canadian ladies… yay!

Women’s Plus Active Compression Capris by Old Navy

September 13, 2013 Edith B

Again this week, I will review clothing that I found (online, in this case) and thought could be a great addition to a Plus Size Backpacker’s luggage. ►►►

Women’s Plus Active Compression Tank by Old Navy

September 6, 2013 Edith B

Very recently, Old Navy Canada started selling their Women’s Plus collection to Canadian women. (Lucky for me, as I recently found out about their US Plus Size collection and was incredibly jealous… until I became really glad to hear the news, thanks to my friend and co-worker D.!) ►►►
