Sleep Me Skinny!
Our Bloggers - Deenie - Beauty Cents

Pain is gain, I get it.  I used to be a dancer; I know the kind of dedication to a healthy diet, strict work-out regimen and the ridiculous repetition of grand battements it takes to craft a lean and toned body.  However, this doesn’t mean that we couldn’t all use a little help from our friends.  And by friends I mean Bliss.  And by Bliss I mean their Fat Girl products.  And by Fat Girl products I mean that pain is not so much gain but something more like sleep equals skinny...

Okay, so it’s not quite that simple.  There is no getting around the fact that a healthy, fit body is only acquired through the correct balance of diet and exercise, according to your body type.  No lotion, spa treatment, or abdominal machine in the world can accomplish what a healthy lifestyle can.  And while I love to indulge in a pizza and ice cream from time to time (and generally just love to eat), I find it imperative for our hearts and our hips to be concerned about the things we put into our bodies, especially if your schedule keeps you away from the gym.  Moderation is key.  But in saying so, I must be honest in admitting that almost every woman I know would like to loose a few lbs.  I speak for myself and a host of other women when I echo the phrase, “If I could just loose 5 lbs…10 lbs…20 lbs…”  It’s a daunting cycle that will continue to circulate on our “To Do” lists for…probably several years.  But, in the meantime, we could all use some encouragement (finally, back to the sleep and skinny part!).

Since my move to New York, Bliss Spa has become my favorite spa on the planet in regard to overall consistency, pampering, and indulgence  Beauty is truly an “experience” at Bliss (and lucky for you Bliss Spa is open at 8 locations across the country, one in London, and coming soon to Doha and Hong Kong!)   You’ll hear much more about Bliss Spa from me in the future (waxes, facials, brownies!), but Bliss’s out-of-spa beauty products which often emulate the services they provide are equally impressive (hurry up and get to the skinny!).  Okay, alright, so Bliss began their Fat Girl line with Fat Girl Slim, a “circulation stimulating slimming cream with caffeine encapsulated in QuSomes™ for all over body shaping,” and the Love Handler, a lotion that unleashes “extended release caffeine to help whittle the appearance of wiggly waists and pudgy tummies.”  I’ve been using the Love Handler the past few weeks in preparation for a beach trip, and must admit that it has complemented my sit-up routine quite nicely.  Designed to downsize thighs, tummies, and tookases (as my grandmother used to call it) by using caffeine, the product seems to have actually firmed some of my flab!  These creams are to be applied twice a day, ideally, and massaged into the skin for 20 to 30 seconds.  After applying the Love Handler I can actually feel the lotion tingling on my tummy.

So, what’s better than a peppermint scented, cellulite ridding body cream?   I'll tell you-  lavender scented, over-night, cellulite ridding body cream!  Fat Girl Sleep was released to the public just a few days ago.  Formulated with Bliss's “encapsulated slenderiZZZe complex that releases dimple diminishers and soothing lavender for up to 6 hours,” Fat Girl Sleep is the ultimate tooth-fairy…or um…anti-cellulite fairy.  Often lavender fragrances can be overpowering or sharp, but the Fat Girl Sleep lavender is actually very soft and delicate.  Your partners would like to thank you for ditching your Vicks Vapor Rub for a sweet lavender, but they are too busy drifting into a dreamy slumber.  We all know that our bodies recover from the day when we sleep at night- mentally, emotionally, and physically.  Fat Girl Sleep is here to give us that extra “boost” for our buns so our mornings can be successfully bright eyed and tight thighed.  Sweet dreams!
