5 Ways To Get Ready for Spring

March 26, 2013 By The Fashionable Housewife Leave a Comment

Spring is officially here, even though I still see about 2 feet of snow in my yard, I’m holding out hope that I will see Robin’s soon! I’m itching to break out the pastels and floral prints. Meanwhile, here are 5 ways to get ready for Spring!

Get Clean!
with
Target, Oral-B, Listerine

Got spring fever? Dial knows just how you feel and they want you to feel like you can escape without even having to leave your own home! Dial’s new Coconut Water Body Wash and Skin Therapy Body Wash with Himalayan Salt. Dial brings the super popular and ultra-hydrating powers of coconut water right into your own bathroom! You’ll be ready to face your busy day with a essence of the tropics. These new Body Washes pair perfectly with their new 7-Day Moisturizing Lotion that I’m already totally in love with!

Clean your mouth out with Listerine Mouthwash, Listerine Whitening Toothpaste and an Oral-B Power Toothbrush. You’ll blast the winter layers right off your teeth and your mouth will feel as fresh as spring smells. Delightful!

Don’t forget your pores! Unclog those holes with Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips and Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser for a clean start that you’ll be able to see AND feel.

Get Bikini Ready
with
Bliss, Mama Mio, Delfin Spa

If you have around 20 pounds to lose, you might think it’s impossible to lose that weight before summer… Guess what? IT’S NOT! I lost 18 pounds in 8 weeks on the Dukan Diet and a total of 20 pounds total so I am now down to the weight I was when I got married almost 10 years ago! I’ve had two children and I gained 50+ pounds with both my pregnancies. I thought I would never lose the weight, but I DID! All thanks to The Dukan Diet!

If you don’t need to lose weight (Good for you!) you still want to firm and tone your skin before slipping into that new swimsuit. Products like Bliss FatGirlSlim coupled with the cellulite-fighting power of the Bliss Lean Machine will get those gams ready for the beach. I also love the Mama Mio Bikini Confidence Travel Kit and the Bootcamp for Butts Kit is amazing!

Every woman should own a pair of Anti Cellulite Shorts! One of the fastest ways to lose a few pounds (along with diet and exercise!) is Anti Cellulite Shorts. They help to increase your body’s core temperature which makes you sweat, dumping excess water retention. It also helps to increase the rate at which you burn calories, making your exercise routine more effective. A must-have for every girl!

Check out our article Get Fit Quick Just Like A Celebrity and How To Get Back In Shape After Holidays Binging for more tips on losing weight quickly and find out how you can Lose 2 Jean Sizes in 2 Weeks with Zaggora Hot Pants.

If you are desperate for fast results, consider i-Lipo Laser Liposuction Treatment. It costs about $250-$500 per session and you will visibly lose INCHES within an hour. Check out my before and after photos from just one session!

Get Fit Quick Just Like A Celebrity

February 27, 2013 By The Fashionable Housewife Leave a Comment

Post-Oscars, are you wondering how you can get a perky chest like Catherine Zeta Jones, a waist like Jennifer Lawrence, and legs like Kelly Rowland? We got some tips for you that will help you get fit quick just like a celebrity!

Mama Mio has some awesome products such as Boob Tube, Get Waisted and Lucky Legs. I have personally tried and LOVE all three of those products and can attest to their awesomeness. Boob Tube helps tighten and tone saggy breasts (Use in conjunction with Skin Tight for an at-home boob job!), while Get Waisted has caffeine and other natural ingredients that help stimulate your body to tone the area. Lucky Legs is a must for the summer months when you need to bare those gams.

mama mio products

Here is what Mama Mio has to say about these products…

· Boob Tube: Go from saggy and crepey to firm, sexy and supple. Boob Tube is amazing because the quality of your skin changes so quickly.

· Get Waisted: Dramatically increases the destruction of fat leading to a tighter, less wobbly tummy

· Lucky Legs: A mini-spa treatment that glides on to instantly cool and ease weary limbs from knees to tippy toes. Leaves a super-subtle sparkly-shimmer on your shins and a spring in your step.

These Mama Mio Products range in price from $19.50 – $56.00 and can be purchased at http://www.mamamio.com

I recommend using Get Waisted in conjunction with Delfin Spa Bio Ceramic Anti Cellulite Capris!!

You’re thinking… “Seriously? Anti-Cellulite Capris?” Yeah, I’m not kidding around. These things have become a essential part of my life and I can’t imagine living without them. I’m literally wearing a pair of them, right now.

What are Anti Cellulite Shorts, you say? Let me tell you all about these little miracles…

They are fitted shorts (or capris) that feel a lot like a wetsuit (that you would wear when scuba diving). These babies are not your average workout wear that wicks away moisture… Quite the opposite! These help to increase your body’s core temperature which makes you sweat like mad and rid excess water retention. It also helps to increase the rate at which you burn calories, increases your metabolism and makes your exercise routine more effective. Um, is that the Hallelujah chorus I hear? Yeah, I thought so.

I have personally tried and can wholeheartedly recommend Delfin Spa Bio Ceramic Anti Cellulite Shorts which retail for around $39.99 and come in sizes Extra Small to Extra Large. They can be purchased on Amazon.com for $39.99, Drugstore.com for $35.09 or Delfinspa.com for $39.99.

Bio Ceramic Anti-Cellulite Shorts Make Inches Disappear, quite literally. It says to wear them for 2 weeks to lose up to 2 pant sizes! No, that was NOT a typo! I was elated when I tried them out this past summer and lost a whole pants after just THREE DAYS of wearing them. Read more about Delfin Spa Pants >>

Another item you might take into consideration as bikini-season approaches…

There is a new product on the market that promises to not only reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost energy, but it will also rev up your sex drive and make you look and feel DECADES younger! Um, yeah, sign me up for that boat!

Here is the latest news on the Anti-Aging product that is sweeping the nation…

A recent article on favorite celebrity gossip site Radar Online listed “The 10 Most Flawless Faces Of Awards Season,” highlighting the creamy complexions of beauties like Ann Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, and Helen Hunt. Then the always-hip site revealed a little secret to its readers: “But you don’t have to be a celebrity to look younger and achieve flawless skin.” Rather than touting a new skin cream or cosmetic, however, it joined the ranks of media moguls like The Today Show, Good Morning America, Fox News, CNN, and The Dr. Oz Show, who’ve all been running features on human growth hormone (hGH) therapy. hGH therapy is rapidly becoming the hottest new “it” treatment among Hollywood A-Listers due to its touted ability to reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost energy, rev up sex drive, and make you look and feel decades — not years, but DECADES — younger.

With all the attention SeroVital-hgh has been getting, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. It’s currently available at select Ulta stores, and will be available on a limited basis at prestige retailers across the U.S. If you can’t wait, try ordering it directly from the manufacturer at www.SeroVital.com or 1-800-544-2671. Use promo code SERO18 at checkout and get free shipping.*

And last but not least, if you need to lose weight, we HIGHLY recommend The Dukan Diet! I lost 18 pounds in 8 weeks on The Dukan Diet and finally got my pre-baby body back!
