If you are looking to buy a new lingerie set, it's important to double check your bra size with this simple Bra Size Calculator. It's very easy to keep buying the same size as you always have, but occasionally our body shape and size changes, and with it, our breasts too. It's said we should check our bra size every 6 months, but, because 6 months goes by far too quickly nowadays...I think 1 year is acceptable. However, there are certain factors to take account with how often you should check your bra size. Weight loss/gain can make your old bra size uncomfortable, and pregnancy and breastfeeding will change your bra shape and size. It's good to check your size when these occasions occur.

Now it's time for the best bit...bra shopping! A lot of women find it difficult and sometimes stressful to shop for bras, but I think it's a lot like shopping for clothes. All brands come up slightly differently in size and, when you find a brand you like and suits your shape, stick to it.

At Knicker Locker, we keep lingerie brands that offer a great fit and are available in variety of sizes and shapes. With up to 50% off this January, you'd be silly not to shop with us!

HISTORY

The fourth Thursday of November has been regarded as the beginning of the country's Christmas shopping season since 1952, although the term "Black Friday" did not become widely recognised or used until the early 2000s.

Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in USA since 2005, although reports have described it as the busiest shopping day for much longer. As the first day after the last major holiday before Christmas, it marks the unofficial beginning of the Christmas shopping season.

The UKs first chocolate egg was produced in 1873 by Fry's of Bristol.
The tallest chocolate egg was created in Italy in 2011. It weighed 7200kg and was 10.39 metres tall. This means it was heavier than an elephant and taller than a giraffe!
The first tallest decorated egg was created in Portugal in 2008. It was almost 15 metres tall and measured 8 metres in diameter.
The customs of giving eggs to people dates back to the Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans as this was known as the symbol for new life.
The white lily is known as the symbol for resurrection and is the recognised flower of Easter.
The traditional act of painting eggs using a wax resist (batik) method is called Pysanka.
76% of people eat the ears of a chocolate rabbit first!

Vegreville Egg

We discovered this amazing Easter Egg sculpture and wanted to share it with you!

Situated in Vegraville, Canada, this giant Pysanka (Ukrainian style Easter Egg) sculpture was created by Paul Maxum Sembaliuk and constructed in 1975.

It measures 25.7ft long, 18ft wide and stands 31ft high.
The pattern contains 524 star patterns, 2,208 equilateral triangles, 3512 visible facets, 6,978 nuts and bolts and 177 internal struts.
The dedication message written in English, Ukrainian, French and German reads: "This Pysanka (Easter Egg) symbolises the harmony, vitality and culture of the community and is dedicated as a tribute to the One-Hundredth Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who bought peace and security to the largest multi-cultural settlement in all of Canada."
The colours of bronze, silver and gold symbolises prosperity.

History of Easter

The Easter Holiday is a traditional Christian festival, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after his death on Good Friday, and signifies the end of Lent. Lent is a period of 40 days before Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday, and is typically a period of self-sacrifice and repentance. Easter is one of the oldest recognised holidays and one of the most important dates in the Christian Calendar.

More importantly it signifies a period of new beginnings, spring, celebration, gift giving and if your children are anything like mine... The Easter Bunny, Egg Painting and CHOCOLATE!

'Easter' is said to be named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility, Oestre or Eastre. She had a passion for new life and her presence could be felt with the days becoming longer and brighter, the blossoming of flowers and the birth of new babies. The hare was seen as Oestre's sacred animal known for its rapid reproduction.

Easter Eggs & the Easter Bunny

It is believed that Easter Eggs are a symbol of new life and the idea that Earth was hatched from an egg form appears in many creation stories. For Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus Christ's resurrection and signifies his empty tomb when cracked open. Many years ago people gave dyed eggs as gifts made from wood or stone. The first sweet eggs were originally made from sugar or marzipan, but since then chocolate eggs have become a worldwide favourite.

Hares and rabbits have been associated with spring time since ancient times. They generally give birth to a large herd of babies and are recognised symbols of new life and fertility. After a while, Christians changed the symbol of the hare to the Easter Bunny. Traditionally the Easter Bunny decorates and hides the eggs so children can find them on Easter Sunday giving rise to the Easter Egg Hunt.
