We can all use a little help, especially holding that tummy in. Legg’s makes
those fabulous body smoothers. There is a trick to wearing them however – lucky
you, I’m going to divulge! You know that unsightly bulge that happens when the
spandex ends and you begin? I know how to fix it! Take the scissors to the
super control mid thigh brief, and cut off the waistband. Yes I said, CUT IT
OFF. Cut it off relatively close to the top. Voila! No more bulge, not to
mention the horror of trying to actually get that waistband up over your waist.
This creates a much smoother line. I learned this trick from an old beauty
pageant contestant years ago. The Legg’s briefs are inexpensive enough that you
can do this. I’m still wearing a pair I cut up two weeks ago.
A good haircut
So many overweight women insist on having super long hair. I know why we do
it; at least we have one thing to be vain about. Haven’t we all heard that men
love long hair? Well, they do, but not when it’s ratty and split endy. Look in
the mirror (again) and ask yourself if your current hairstyle really suits you.
Check out your ends? Is your hair longer than mid back? Get it cut! Most women
look good with shoulder length or slightly below. That is long enough for most
women (and men!). Keep your crowning glory in good shape with frequent trims
and remember what my hairdresser says, “Santa won’t visit you if you have
roots!”
