Mamas! It’s no secret that I tell everyone who will listen how much I love Lou and the Bend Breastfeeding Support Group. They’ve gone virtual! Which is amazing because breastfeeding was wayyyyy harder than I thought it would be, and it was life changing to meet other mamas and talk with low-stress experts who made me feel empowered to do what I needed to do to be successful. #mamapreneur #ittakesavillage #helpinthetimeofcovid #virtualsupport #breastfeeding #feedingbabies #mamalove #selfcare #support #locallove #ibclc #lactationsupport
I’m obsessed with bralettes these days - anything to stay pajama-ish with a little extra coverage. This one is a favorite of mine - and the color is so refreshing! It’s not quite as much coverage as the Curvy Sweetie that many of our fuller bust gals love - but does a good job for the D/DD crowd. We have limited pieces of this in both stores - slide into our DMs or call 434-977-7455 to inquire. #quarantineattire #stayathome #makingitupaswego #shoplocal #lingerie #lace #springfashion #bralettes #makeitfashion #smallbusinessowner #womanowned #workfromhome #momlife #mamapreneur #supportlocal
The sweetest little extra layer - perfect for transitional temps. m/l and l/l - was $127, today’s deal at $90. Call to purchase and pick up today, or we can hold until our next pickup or ship. 434-977-7455 - happy Friday, friends! #shoplocal #curbsidepickup #getcreative #loungewearupgrade #charlottesville #independentretailers #shopsmall #womanowned #quarantineapparel #lingerie
Daily deal! COSABELLA pjs - super soft, nice weight for this transitional weather. Medium through XL available - email or DM if these are calling your name. We will have curbside pickup available in Charlottesville on Friday March 27 from 10a-12:30p! #supportlocal #pickup #shoppingfromhome #derrieredesoie #charlottesville #roanoke #virginialoveslocal #livelifelocally #dailydeal #pjtime #loungewear #everydayluxury #littleluxuries #retailtherapy

Something for the guys! Are you organizing dressers and pitching old clothing and underwear? (Should you be if you’re not 😉) we have a somewhat limited selection of SAXX right now - but would be happy to help you mix in a pair or two for someone special. Megan is in store until 12:30pm today and would happily accommodate curbside pick up or ship to you direct! #springcleaning #mensunderwear #lifechangingunderwear #shopsmall #shoplocal #charlottesville #virginiasmallbusiness #womanowned #saxxunderwear
Y’all - it has been pure JOY to chat with you on the phone as you call in to support us through gift card purchases. I am so looking forward to writing a check to the @brafb (thinking of doing it weekly? Instead of once we reopen - what do you think?). If I miss your call - please email me or leave a message, or try me back. Toddlers aren’t great office assistants 😬. And tell me please: how are you doing? Are you putting on the good bras and panties while you work from home? Are you lounging in style? What’s the silver lining for you in all of this? (Mine is getting to talk to my friends+clients, and engaging in waves of love with other businesses). Tell me the good stuff below. #charlottesville #roanoke #virginiabusinesses #shoplocal #supportlocal #smallbusinesslife #mamapreneur #sharethelove #silverlinings #findthegood #investinyourfuture #lingerielove #livelifelocally
Hey friends. We are open in cville today and taking this whole situation one day at a time. We had planned in advance to be closed in Roanoke because of the st. Pats parade craziness - but have opted to stay closed even with the parade cancellation. Your safety and business means the world to us - so we will be showing some pj options on stories today. If you’d like to purchase an item, please dm us or call 434-977-7455 and we will either ship your purchase Monday or offer curbside pickup today. #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #charlottesville #pjs #loungewear #curbsidepickup #womanowned #womanrun #safetyplans #independentlingeriestores #livelifelocally #attitudeofgratitude
The women behind penicillin As the story goes, Dr. Alexander Fleming arrived back from a holiday to find a mold called Penicillium notatum had contaminated his Petri dishes. His discovery would lead to an antibiotic that would change medicine. But that isn’t the whole story. Without a number of women, penicillin would not have become the world’s first antibiotic we all know. In March 1942, Anne Miller was near death. She was suffering from a streptococcal infection after a miscarrage. With dangerous temperature spiking over 107, nothing was working. Obtaining the obscure and experimental drug, Miller’s doctors injected her. Her hospital chart, now in the Smithsonian institute, details her overnight recovery and helped to prove the worth of this new drug. She would be the first patient to survive due to Penicillin. Creating enough Penicillin to be used as a drug was a challenge early in its development.  The breakthrough came in 1943 when a bacteriologist named Mary Hunt found a fungus on a cantaloupe. Hunt’s job as a lab assistant was to search for new strains that would reproduce more quickly.  She purchased the cantaloupe at a local market for the “pretty golden mold” she found on it. Her discovery, and the work of the lab she worked for, made it possible to have enough penicillin to save lives during the D-Day invasion of WWII. In 1945, Dorothy Hodgkin and her colleagues, including biochemist Barbara Low, solved the structure of penicillin, demonstrating, contrary to scientific opinion at the time, that it contains a β-lactam ring. In his Nobel Banquet speech, Fleming himself commented on how often “fortune intervened” in the discovery of penicillin. With the work of many individuals, including many women, this life saving drug would not have been discovered, reproduced or saving lives today. #womeninstem #womeninscience #womenchangingtheworld #derrieredesoie #wcwderrieredesoie #womeninhistory #womenyoushouldknow

Happy #internationalwomensday2020 !
