Tricks to look your best in summer fabrics

Hi Girls,

Recently, I had to re-do a 15-year-old breast augmentation that had implants.  At 38 I decided I wanted new breasts and a tummy tuck; back then I had no idea the breasts had a life span and so last month I went in to re-do them unwillingly.  However, they came out fantastic.

Help me: I have a jersey knit top I just bought that I ‘want’ to wear bra-less to finally feel the glorious effects of a set of new breasts.  Problem is my nipples protrude and since I have never had this problem before as I rarely ever went bra-less what do I do????

Is there a ‘celebrity’ thing that they do to fix this problem?  I know I used to use the duck tape method but that doesn’t work for all things especially with a jersey type material.

Thanks,
N.S.

Hi there N.S,

Many women have this problem even if they have not had their breasts enhanced and it can be a tricky problem for sure!  Anytime you want to wear a thin or fabric that clings, you want to make sure you are not showing off any bumps or lumps.

Here are a few tips that we suggest to help with “smoothing” things out!

Shapewear  

Wearing a lightweight cammy like this one from Yummy Tummy is a great solution to keeping things looking youthful! (Nordstroms)

Say “yes” to the breasts! 

Those protruding nipples will be history when you apply these easy to use nipple covers (Bring it Up)

Ah Natural…! 

If you want to go with out a bra but your boobs are not what they used to be, try using these clear tapes. They do work! .(Bring it up)

My secret relaxing tool…

Having surgery can be a scary waiting game, find out how I got help...

A few months ago I (JoJami) had an elective procedure done, nothing major but I was very nervous about having surery because it was my first time going under anesthesia.

Once I actually booked the procedure, the waiting game was terrible. The worst part was at night…all the thinking and doubting (monkey mind!) was so strong that it was disrupting my sleep.

Well, I definitely did not want to feel so much stress, so I did a litte research and read about a tool that claimed to be able to reduce this type of anxiety and there was no medicine involved!

I found that there were these special CDs from Dr. Ginandes (only $69), and so I purchased them. Once they arrived I tried them out right away. The first night, I popped the CD’s in my computer (later I downloaded them to my i-pod) and once I started listening I began to feel peaceful and soon drifted off to sleep! I kept this up every night and I can tell you, I was so glad to have them!

Then, when the big day came, I took my CDs with me to calm my nerves while in the waiting room. I was so thankful to be able to bring the CDs along – it was wonderful to be able to feel peaceful and calm during that time!

Afterwards, I listed to the final session at home, hoping for faster healing. The best part was, that I used the tapes to relax me and did not have to take any of the pain medicine. Moreover,  I healed very quickly and was back to work in no time at all!

So  looking back, I am now so happy I had surgery and that, and the CDs made the whole experience so much better.  I think that anyone considering any type of surgery or even dental work, should at least try them. These CD’s are such a great holistic tool, to use, and definitely much better than any type of stress medication!

If anyone else has used these or any other similar tool, please comment below.  And by the way, you can find this program (only $69) at: The Hypnosis Network.

For full disclosure, because of my success with the program I have become friendly with the folks at the company.  If you have been a reader of this site, you know we do promote a few products and get compensated.  If this bothers you, simply Google it and  we will get no compensation.

As you know, we stand behind the products we share with you, and I was so thrilled with the effects of  listening to these tapes, that I highly recommend them.

Jane Fonda’s Cosmetic Surgery confession

Never say never!

Just when Jane Fonda said she would never get cosmetic surgery again, she sneaked in and did it. ..I guess it’s that new boyfriend she has!

You don’t see a lot of difference at first, until you look down at her neck. She looks pretty good!

You know our stand on all of this; it’s such a personal thing. There’s no right or wrong. It’s all up to how you  feel. We know some of you may disagree and that’s why we throw this post in. It makes for lively conversation.

We’d love to hear your views and experiences, pro and con. What do you think of Jane’s decision to have more cosmetic surgery at 72?

Is there anything wrong with wanting to be a “Glamorous Grandma”, as Jane calls it?

Full lips make you look younger

There’s a new study that says full lips make you look younger.

Makes sense…Just think of babies with their plump, round plump lips. Softer bigger lips are more youthful….but only to a point!

Your lips have got to match your face!

The problem is many women see their lips thinning and rush out and get lip fillers only to end up with “trout pout”…you know, those crazy lips that make you look like you’ve been sucking on a sour lemon and had an allergic reaction! Totally bizarre, unnatural and not youthful or attractive at all.

Just look at Nicole Kidman.
Daryl Hannah
Melanie Griffith
Cher

The list goes on… Can fillers like this ever work? Are we being unfair and just highlighting the bad cases?

If you’ve ever had your lips enhanced, let us know how they worked out. Did it work for you? Would you do it again?

Our feeling is, what’s so wrong with thinner lips? Just like, what’s wrong with smaller breasts? They’re beautiful and elegant. If you keep your lips moisturized and soft, use pretty lip glosses and soft lipstick shades, they’ll look beautiful.

This frenzy around having to have humongous breasts and lips the size of overinflated party balloons is actually gross. It’s bound to pass in a few years, and then we’ll all be looking back and laughing at how trashy and cartoon-ish women looked.

Bigger is not always better. Subtlety and elegance is the key to looking fabulous in Chapter 2 of life.

Meg Ryan’s director says cosmetic surgery o.k. by her

meg-ryan-picture-1The cosmetic surgery debate continues…..

There’s a good article over at Entertainment & Showbiz.com that says filmmaker Cheryl Hines, who directed Meg Ryan in “Serious Moonlight”, says she has no problem with older Hollywood stars getting cosmetic surgery. “If it makes you happy, do it. I don’t care. Whatever works,”  says Hines.

Now we’re putting that question to you……

How do you feel about cosmetic surgery?

Are you for it, or against it, and why?

Do you plan to have any cosmetic surgery in the future,  and if you already have, did it change your life in any way?

Do you think Meg has had any cosmetic surgery, and how do you think she looks?

Do you think all this talk about cosmetic surgery is nobody’s business?

We’d love to hear from you!
