Want SPANX-like Slimming Shape Wear but don’t want to pay the big $$$? Here’s HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SPANX – a homemade solution… #PostBackByPopularDemand

2ndSpanx

1) Buy a pair of (strong) control top nylons. They don’t need to be the expensive kind and they can be old and raggedy LOL!
2) Use a pair of scissors to cut the legs off. If the legs start to run, use some hairspray or clear nail polish to ‘seal’ it.
3) There you have it! You’ve made yourself some Spanx in the comfort of your own home and without spending a fortune. Now you won’t have any panty lines and your tummy will be flat(ter).

Just remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL… RIGHT NOW! With or without this slimming underwear!

Spanx are great because they make you look trimmer BUT be aware that if you go for shapewear that’s too tight, you may cause acid reflux or an upset stomach. The point is for us to LOVE OURSELVES MORE NOT LESS. These homemade Spanx are not an excuse for you judge yourself, they are a reason for you to celebrate and to pat yourself on the back for being clever & resourceful enough to make your own shapewear!

Many of you have written me through the Facebook messaging system on http://www.facebook.com/Lifestylista and you asked me to get you amazing Lifestylista shapewear that’s geared specifically towards women of color (sometimes bigger thighs, behinds etc)… I’m working on it.

In the meantime, make your own!
love,

4 ESSENTIAL SLIMMING STYLE TIPS FOR CURVY LADIES…

By

1) ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE!

Use patterns and colors and accessories to draw the eye towards the parts of yourself you love the most!
So if you want to draw the eye away from your tummy and thighs wear DARK COLORS but if you want to accentuate your bust or your waist wear LIGHT COLORS e.g. a light top or a light belt to highlight those areas.

And big accessories can make you look smaller e.g. big bag, big necklace, big earrings, big bangles…  I’m not saying wear them all at once!!!  Just choose one element to highlight (e.g. the big necklace) and go for that!

2) BUY (OR MAKE) YOUR OWN SLIMMING UNDERWEAR
See my article on how to make your own Spanx… www.TheLifestylista.com (Health & Weight Loss section)

3) STRIPES GIRL!  AND LINES THAT TAKE YOUR EYES UP / DOWN
Horizontal stripes draw the eye width-ways rather than length-ways and so they make us look bigger than we actually are.
Verticals do the opposite…  Optical illusion: longer & leaner.  Add a bit of cleavage too if you’d like.  A V-neck lengthens you and a Polo neck squashes you 🙂

4) YOU DON’T NEED TO HIDE YOURSELF IN HUGE CURTAINS OF FABRIC…
YOU’RE A GODDESS!
I’m not saying go for tight-tight lycra pum pum shorts, I’m just saying that you are beautiful and you don’t need to hide!
Don’t wear ‘sack’ one size fits all dresses or big baggy T-shirts.  Make sure there’s a bit of shape to it, a bit of ‘fitted-ness’, especially if you have a bigger tummy.
You’re fine to wear a Tunic top, Empire waisted top etc. something nice and flowy at the top as long as you’re wearing something tighter at the bottom to balance it e.g. a cute, dark pair of boot cut jeans.
See my article on how to choose flattering jeans… www.TheLifestylista.com (Beauty & Style section).
and
Go for well cut clothes in fabrics that aren’t too flimsy.  So YES to garbadine and linen and NO to thin polyester!

I’m here rooting for you girl.  You are beautiful right now so be your most fabulous!  Bring it 🙂
love
