5 Ways To Slim Down For Summer: Anti Cellulite Products, Weight Loss Footwear and More!

slim_downSummer is almost here and it’s time to start thinking about losing those extra 5 pounds. Whether it was a combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners that did you in, or whether it’s because you can’t resist those donuts at work, we’ve a got 5 super tips that will help you slim down quick so you can look great in that new bikini!

I’ve tested over a dozen different products in the last 2 years, trying to get rid of those extra 5 pounds… which turned into an extra 25 pounds… But thanks to the Sensa Weight Loss Program, I was able to lose 20 pounds in 6 months! Now I’m still working on those stubborn-as-hell last 5 pounds. In my quest for a slimmer figure, I’ve found 5 incredible products that will help you look your best in 30 days.

bootcampfortummi1. Bootcamp for Tummies

This kit has everything you need for a toned tummy in 30 days with the perfect combination of advance skincare and exercise. Rest assured, this is the real deal. If you commit for 30 days, you will see results. In one month, your stomach will be tighter, flatter, smoother and more defined. Your posture will be improved, your back stronger, your skin softer – more toned, firmer and touchable.

You get 2 fabulous products and 1 exercise program that transforms your body in 30 days. So you can say goodbye to your leftover Christmas-dinner belly pooch and say hello to your new bikini body!

Price: $135.00

Where: mamamio.com



2. FitFlop Electra Sandalsicon

Fit Flop has made it possible to look great and be in shape. The developers at FitFlop have developed mid sole technology which is proven to build leg and thigh muscles while you walk. Who could resist-looking great and getting in a quick workout? Try a pair of FitFlops and you are sure to be hooked. I especially like the glammed up version with sequins! The black Electra icon is sold out almost everywhere, but you can still find them at The Shoe Boxicon. (Read our review!)

Price: $30.00+

Where: Zappos.com



iconicon3. Bliss fatgirlscrubicon

Scrub your thighs thin with Bliss fatgirlscrubicon. This fabulous scrub promotes circulation through exfoliation and massage while helping to reduce accumulation of stagnant fluids that contribute to lumps and bumps. Just massage this into your thighs everytime you shower and it will slough off dead skin cells that may be blocking the penetration of slimming solutions applied after like bliss the love handler, bliss fatgirlslim and bliss fatgirlsleep – all products I use myself and recommend!

Price: $38

Where: Blissworld.com

Discounts: Free shipping and tote with your order of $50 or more at Bliss! Click here to activate discount.



nude-smoothing-body-refiner4. Nude Skincare Smoothing Body Refiner

Fit back into your skinny jeans by using Nude Skincare Smoothing Body Refiner for 30 days. I used it on my thighs for 2 months and it dramatically improved the appearance of my skin AND actually reduced the overall size of my thighs by 1 inch on each thigh. This incredible body shaping formula not only smoothed out the cellulite and toned my skin, but literally made my thighs smaller. This is one product that absolutely lives up to it’s promises. The difference was amazing and very noticeable. I highly recommend it.

Price: $70.00

I didn’t think a blanket could change my life bu I didn’t think a blanket could change my life but… it did. 

I’m so glad I decided to give @mybearaby a try. It’s not just another weighted blanket. It’s a lifestyle. The moment I unrolled it, I knew this blanket was different. 

Not only is it 100% organic cotton, it is award winning and has proven positive results. 85% of people reported better sleep after using the Bearaby weighted blanket and I can confirm this is true. 

From the first night with it, I immediately noticed that I fall asleep much faster - no more staring at the ceiling wondering when I’m going to fall asleep. I also noticed I sleep much more deeply and don’t wake up nearly as often which really surprised me. 

Not only that, I feel HAPPY when I wake up instead of that sinking dread feeling I normally have 🥴 Who knew a blanket could fix so many things?!

If you’re a stressed out, anxious mom like myself, do yourself a favor and get this blanket. Will it fix all your problems? No. It won’t do the dishes or fold your laundry. But it will help you sleep better and that will help everything else in life feel a lot lighter. ☺️

Highly recommend these sneakers!!!! Super comfortable, only $50 a pair, and Prime shipping from Amazon. You can’t go wrong.

Me? I just shake up a @gopureboost powder in my water tumbler and pretend I’ve got my life together. 😆

No sugar. No sucralose. No artificial flavors. No yuck. Just clean energy that doesn’t make you jittery or wanting to take a nap with your toddler at 2pm.

Best of all? It’s only 25 calories, 2 grams of carbs, and totally fits into keto, gluten-free, paleo, and vegan lifestyles.

This is basically mom fuel disguised as a wellness drink. You’re welcome.

I finally found a way to keep his name close to me I finally found a way to keep his name close to me every day. 💛 🐢 🌊 

This simple ring from Mint & Lily holds the name of my stillborn son—delicate, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. It’s a small way I get to remember Dylan, honor him, and carry his memory with me in the quiet moments of motherhood.

Custom jewelry like this makes space for the unseen stories so many of us carry. 💔❤️‍🩹

If you’ve ever wanted to wear your child’s name—whether they’re in your arms or in Heaven—this is a beautiful way to do it.

💍 You can customize your own name ring with @mintandlily and wear your love right on your hand.☺️

(My other ring is his birthstone)💚

Good news: You don’t have to leave your house to do it. 🥳

Bonus: weighted vests makes every effort you put in even more effective. ✌🏻 

The @flexispot_official treadmill lets you get your steps in while answering emails, scrolling, listening to a podcast, or pretending to be productive. Trust me, your future self (and your legs) will thank you. 

Who else needs one of these?!
