Soma Intimates is a favorite brand of mine, from PJ’s to loungewear. The bras are the BEST, the pajamas are the SOFTEST and the loungewear is the COZIEST! I couldn’t rave on enough about Soma, plus we reached 100k followers on Instagram this week. Are you interested in how we did it? It wasn’t easy!!
100k AN INSTAGRAM MILESTONE
Are you on Instagram? If not the you are missing out! It was April 23, 2014 when I posted my first photo and then I was addicted. I was never a fan of Facebook so I was so happy to find a platform that I loved. So fast forward to this week, we just hit 100k followers and believe me when I say it was not easy. So why are 100 thousand followers important and how did we get there.
WHY ARE IG FOLLOWERS IMPORTANT
If you are wanting to build just about any kind of business then getting your product or message to people is key. Brands and PR firms scour the IG platform looking for influencers that have an engaged following that can help them or their client grow their businesses. So, 99% of my work and income comes from promoting products that my demographic is best known for and that would be fashion for the midlife woman, anti-aging, travel, health, wellness and more. In a nutshell, the more people following me the more I influence with my message for the brand I am working for.
HOW I GREW 100K INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS
Patience of steel and lot’s of frustrations for sure…. When I started Instagram almost 7 years ago, it was fairly easy to get new followers, but over the last 2 or 3 years, Instagram created an algorithm that changed everything. I can honestly say that I have tried several different ways to grow my numbers but the best is the old fashion way. Since I am so busy, I don’t have time to work my Instagram for several hours a day so I pay someone to do some of it for me. There are services that will work for you but they really don’t understand my age demographic. These services also have the ability to give you followers for a price but that really doesn’t work either because Instagram can detect bogus followers and they will eventually remove them. It is like a vicious circle and a big waste of money! I will say that I have had success growing my numbers by doing giveaways and they work pretty good. I always gain followers but will lose about half after the giveaway is over, so I guess it works ok.
So, in summary, it is a huge milestone to reach 100k followers on Instagram. I love my peeps who come to my page every day and say the nicest things.There are also less bullies on Instagram than Facebook for sure. If I was still able to travel, I could go just about anywhere in the world and meet up with an Instagram friend. It is my work place and it is my social space which has been so nice to have during this pandemic! Come on over and let’s meet up on Instagram. XO, SheShe
Why I Love Soma Intimates
Now we all know of some brands that are not made for REAL women! What we see and get is not the reality of what a real woman looks like, or is like. Whether skinny or voluptuous, Soma has it all and is inclusive to every figure and age. The fit is amazing and I must mention the quality of the fabrics. I have had some of my Soma bras for YEARS and they are still going strong. Sizing includes every woman – as the sizes are A-I. Yes, you read that right.
Soma Bras
These bras are hands down my favorite, you can even do your sizing online. One of the best ones I have found is the wireless bras. They give great support, are comfortable, and provide a nice seamless look. Perfect for those t-shirts that you do not want to show your bra with! Speaking of t-shirt bras, Soma has a line perfect for t-shirts called “Enbliss“. To see all bras perfect and practically invisible click here.
Panties
Soma’s panties give great coverage without looking like “grandma” panties. They come feminine and romantic with lace and cute designs! Soma makes great panties and I love the ones with the vanishing edge. I normally wear a thong style panty, but with the vanishing edge, I get the same results as the thong….no VPL (no visible panty line).
Soma Cool Nights |Pajamas + Robes
Soma Intimates has developed a line of sleepwear called Cool Nights. The technology of their fabrics are breathable and keeps you cool and dry. This is so important to me and most women that are going through menopause or are post-menopausal. This sleepwear also retains its shape and silky drape, even after countless washings.
I am a very hot-blooded creature so I cannot wear heavy clothing to bed at night but when I have a guest in the house I want to make sure that when I go out to the coffee bar I am properly covered without getting dressed for the day. Cool Nights Collections, including robes can take you from the bedroom, the bathroom, the living room, the laundry room, and even that girl’s trip with just a few pieces. Click here to shop a variety of Cool Night styles.
Lounge + Activewear
One of the best things about their lounge/activewear is that it is super versatile! I take mine from lounging at home and turn it into travel wear or run errands in it! This wrap is a necessity (matching pant here)and how cute is this dress with a…BUILT-IN BRA?!

SHESHE’S TIDBITS
Norman and I are back home and getting in the ole’ routine once again. I love my low key weekends and that is exactly what it is…..just chilling. This week is uncertain because we are waiting for COVID tests for my assistant and her little girl. If one or the other or both have the virus, then SheShe Show will have to make some major adjustments, because Francesca is my photographer! She can work remotely but it will be about 2 weeks before she can get over to help me shoot content for our brands. We are hopeful that all is negative.
