CELLULITE, THE GOOD NEWS!



Cellulite is a term used to describe the dimpled appearance of skin caused by fat deposits that are just below the surface of the skin. It generally appears on skin in the tummy, bum, arms, around the knees and thighs, and it usually occurs after puberty. It is the cause of many woman of all sizes HATING their bodies and having low Self Esteem that is only worsened in the horrid (summer) beach days.


I have also discovered that is not only unappealing but it is unhealthy to have cellulite. The cellulite traps toxins that are like poisons to our body and can lead to a range of other health issues.

What causes cellulite? The causes of cellulite are not well understood, but there are several theories that have been put forth as explanations. Among these are:
Hormonal factors, Genetics, Diet, Lifestyle factors, etc.

We all know to stay away from Fat, Salt, Smoking.
We also know to Drink more water, Exercise, Eat healthy foods, Don't cross our legs.

There are however some factors that are slightly more difficult to get a handle of such as; Hormones & Poor circulation that are major contributors to the dreaded cellulite.


THE GOOD NEWS
So, I'm writing about a new little magic I have discovered called LUMOLOGIE!

I first came across this by accident when I found a brochure that someone must have dropped......With my wedding coming up I was very keen to try anything.

After doing some research and reading the positive feedback this treatment had received it didn't take much convincing for me, and I booked my first appointment.

I arrived the next day and the therapist explained to me how the treatment worked and asks me "which part of your body worries you"........Ummm, how could I tell her it was EVERYWHERE! I suspected that the more areas that worried me just converted to more sessions I would require. She laughed and said that It was recommended to do this treatment 2 times per week initially and then drop back to once a week. At $100 per treatment I thought, lets see how it goes first shall we!

She covered me with this special gel that is meant to loosen everything up so that the suction it more effective. This was cold to start and then becomes very hot and feels quite nice. It gets the circulation going and you can actually see the areas where cellulite is more problematic as it goes very red.

Now I'm not going to lie to you, the one thing she didn't tell me was how painful it was going to be. I was literally in tears. I cannot even find a word to describe the feeling as she vacuumed across my skin. The treatment went for about 45min and I went from crying to laughing and back again for the whole session (apparently quite normal).....

At the end the result was unbelievable........My bum was perky just as the Brazilian therapist. She explained that I would be frequenting the ladies room as the previously retained fluid would be released. She sold me some cream to keep my circulation going and I was off. Over the next couple of days I lost 5KG of fluid and I felt/looked amazing. It evened out my saddle bags and my legs appeared very toned.

Unfortunately with the cost of a wedding I was unable to keep up the treatments.....And alas, i'm back to normal.

Yes there was pain, lots of pain and the cost at $100 a pop is not for the average girl, I would however recommend this treatment to anyone who wants a quick fix solution or a boost to the self esteem. LUMOLOGIE gets my backing 100%.............Just don't expect a relaxing beauty treatment.

Here is the place that did mine http://www.lumologie.com.au/

Lots of Love,

COTTON CROPS....NOT THE ONLY THING GROWING, APPARENTLY SO IS THE PRICE

Due to different climate effects it's been a bad year for cotton-producing regions in India, China and Pakistan and the price of cotton has skyrocketed. Flooding and overly cold weather has meant that the cotton growers are not able to keep up with the demands and this will result in the price of all our favourite cotton products going up.

These higher prices will only effect the new stock so product in stores now has not yet been impacted......This means, you guessed it, buy up NOW.


Some of the items that will be effected are:


  • Jeans

  • Shirts/Tees

  • Bed Linen

  • Towels

  • Socks

  • Underwear

The good news is that if you have shares in cotton, your stocks about to go up!

DOES MY BUM LOOK BIG IN THESE

Throughout time women have had an obsession with their figures. Even though the desired body shape seems to be forever changing, the one thing that doesn't change is the number of women that are not happy with the way they look. Plastic surgery is on the rise and although it is great that people now have an access to feel good about their appearance it also comes with a large array of risks.



Two of the main body parts that concern us are our bums and our boobs.


Now we can't help you with your boobs and thank god they designed push up bra's (I sure need them) but what we can help you with is how your bum looks in your jeans.


Eighth Sin Denim Art have tested dozens of shapes and we think our jeans have the best cuts to give the most flattering shape for your bum.

Now the important thing in choosing a pair of jeans is to correctly match the style to your body type.

A few things to keep in mind when selecting your pair of jeans;

  • Slim leg jeans draw attention to the bum and can make the booty look bigger than it is.
  • Bootleg will give a slimmer look and are great for the shorter figure as they give the appearance of a longer leg.
  • Embellishment on the pockets or booty can give a bit of boom to the backside so this is great for the flatter bum.
  • Darker denim is always more slimming.
  • When buying your jeans you should go with the size that may feel a little small when you first put them on....Remember jeans will stretch as you wear them and you don't want to be yanking them up every 5 minutes as this will not only be annoying but doesn't do much for the beautiful behind.
