How To Build A Solid Foundation

Posted on 04. Sep, 2009 by Nikki C.

Finding The Right Clothes That Fit Is Only Half The Battle

What do I mean by this question? Some women feel if they spend a lot of money on their clothes and their appearance, they have done all they need to do. This is farthest from the truth in my book.  When you find the perfect dress, you can’t stop there.  You need to make sure the inside looks and feels as good as the outside.

The image and appearance of your clothes and how they look on you can only be as good as the foundation pieces that give them support from underneath. In other words, your undergarments sets the stage and secures the foundation for the outward appearance. 

Recommendation

• If you are having problems with flabby arms or jiggly arms, try a product called Tresleek’ formerly known as Flabuless. This is similar to a Spanx for your arms. This is perfect for tightening the look of the arm. It holds it in place and give you a very polish clean look.    Go Here

 Most women and men have some problem areas on their bodies they are not extremely pleased with 100%.  For instance, as a plus size woman, I have developed a larger tummy, that I do not care for.   I just discovered something wonderful, and I am adding it to my product line and business model.  It is called “Body Magic” by Ardyss Iinternational.  Body Magic and several of the other 23 products from Ardyss International Inc. can change not only your image, but change your life.

1. For instance, the emphasis “Body Magic” Garment.   This garment is unbelievable.  If you have problem areas such as your stomach, or love handles, or no defining waist. Then this product is definetly for you.  This product will do several things, but mainly…..
2. Lifts and Holds buttocks up in position
3. Helps to firm and control your abdomen
4. It helps to lift and hold your lower stomach in position

The bottom line is this product will give you the results of  liposuction without the dreadful surgery.

3 Characteristics of an Hour Glass Figure

Posted on 22. Aug, 2009 by Nikki C.

Marilyn Monroe, we all know who she is and more importantly we all can recognize her audacious and voluptuous plus size hourglass figure! Marilyn’s sultry looks and  classic figure became one the most discussed topics of all times! She was a true hourglass body shape, and most importantly she was a plus size woman!

The hourglass figure, also known as the 8-Frame Shape is a well known and widely desired shape among Hollywood stars.  When a woman has an hourglass figure, learning how to dress and accessorize her body to emphasize and enhance her natural curves is essential! 

Characteristics of an hour glass figure: 

1. A woman with an hour glass figure is that she is normally very curvy and the body is perfectly balanced, top to bottom. There is no mistaking, an hourglass shape is all woman when it comes to her curves! 

2. An hourglass figure has a full bust, and a small waist (usually 10 inches smaller than the bust or hip measurements) regardless of weight. 

3. A woman with an hourglass figure is fortunate enough to gain weight evenly all over her body. 

A woman with an hourglass figure is usually the easiest to shop for.  

I believe knowing your correct body shape will make things much easier when it comes to shopping and styling for you.

“Knowing The Secret Behind A Beautiful Plus Size Woman Curves”

Posted on 23. May, 2009 by Nikki C.

As I work with many plus size women, it never ceases to amaze me how making very small changes impacts plus size women lives.  As I have stated before, Image is not only about fashion and makeup, it is really about alot more than that. Honestly, it starts within, and then it moves outward.  Take a look at the testimonial or experience of one of my favorite clients. WOW! what a difference knowing the basics can make in your life and your image. Read Below!

I endured one of the most delightful girlie field trips ever. Nikki invited me to get a bra fitting. I’d never really heard of one, and explained to Nikki that I can get a measurement at my local clothing store. Why, you would’ve thought I was from some other country by the look she gave me….lol. She informed me that I should make arrangements to come with her and get a REAL bra fitting. Since, I’d lost weight I was willing to find out what my true bra size was anyway. Along with four other women I was taken to a well known store and introduced to the “Certified Bra Fitter”. I was taken in a dressing room, measured for and brought back the bra of my size. When she told me that I was a 40DDD, my mouth hit the floor. Nevertheless, she explained to me that a lot of women aren’t told their accurate size. When I tried the bra on, I couldn’t believe how much my middle area seemed to have faded away. Along with that, my breasts were no longer sagging, and they stood to attention. I would advise everyone that hasn’t ever been given a fitting by a Certified person to find Nikki and have for her to schedule you an appointment to receive one. It will change the total appearance of your look.

Posted on 03. May, 2009 by Nikki C.

It is amazing how many women would love to look taller and thinner. On the other hand, there are so many women hate their height. As a somewhat tall women myself, I absolutely love my height. However, there are times and situations when I intimidated people around me. Oh well, I guess it happens, but there is nothing I can do it about this point.

If you are one of those women that would love to change your height and your weight, try this on for size.
