And be proud of it girl! If your like me, there's nothing that I hate more than knowing bikini season is on it's way. Hell, forget bikini...forget tankini...how bout a tent? That's honestly what I would like to wear but we all know you gotta step up to the plate and put on the bathing suit. This is the problem that lead me on a journey to discover a wonderful secret...Do you want to know what it is?
Before I go into that, I need to let you all know who I am and what I'm about, and I'll try not to bore you with all the details. Short and sweet; I'm a wife & mother, an ex-horror movie scream queen, an inventor, a business owner, a make-up junkie, a fashionista, a writer, a romantic-comedy enthusiast and above all this, I am a woman with some body issues. If you are the "one in a million" woman out there that doesn't have body issues, please tell us your secret...but if you are like me, keep reading.
Let's travel back to 1989, my grandma took me shopping for my first dance. While trying on some awesome 80's dresses (puffy sleeves and all) my grandma popped into the dressing room to say something that would haunt me for the rest of my life. She looked down at my hips and said "if I only had a knife" while running her hands up and down my thighs. Now I need to mention, I did NOT have your everyday, wear a shawl, bake you cookies, tell you stories kinda grandma. I had the high-heels & low-cut dress wearing, sex pot of a grandma. Hard to imagine? Yeah, tell me about it. Ok, so needless to say, what she said to me that day was just the start of my body issues. Thanks Grandma...hey wait, isn't that a man's job to make you feel insecure about your body? lol, sorry.. keep reading.
Fast forward 18 years and two kids later, I'm now 35 and I believe it took me until this year to actually be comfortable in my own skin...stretchmarks, saggy boobs and all. That's ok, because of my body issues, I had an epiphany and created something extradorinary. I call it Lypo-Pallooza. Now before you start thinking I just want you to buy some of this unbelievably wonderful product and this is just another crappy advertisment, keep reading.
I'm not going to go into all the details about how I came up with this idea because it's a very long story. I'll save that for another blog and time. In a nutshell, it was one of those things that just wakes you up in the middle of the night. Something told me to create an all natural cellulite treatment. I quickly went to work, doing research, learning all about cellulite and why women have it. I lived, breathed, and slept cellulite, and so did everyone in my family. My husband believes he knows more about cellulite than any man should, well that's what he says anyway. I believe the more men knew about cellulite, the happier women would be.
Biggest cellulite myth: You have cellulite because you are overweight. That is simply not true! Some of the skinniest women in world have cellulite. The truth: trapped toxins and excess fluids get trapped in the fat cells and exaggerates the dimples in cellulite.You know, that orange peel effect.
Myth #2: Only exercise will get rid of cellulite. Some truth, but mostly b.s., and here's why. The root cause of cellulite is weak connective tissue caused by genetics or poor lifestyle choices (smoking & drinking, too much partying, etc.). I want you to know that there are things that you can do to help the appearance of cellulite.
My blog is going to cover cellulite,weight-loss tips, sex, beauty and fashion....basically all the things women have on their minds. I want this to be an audience participation blog....If you have questions, please ask them. If I don't know the answers, I will do my best to find the answers or get an expert to answer them for me. I hope this is the beginning to a beautiful bloggin' friendship!
Thanks for reading!
