A Giveaway You Don’t Want to Miss + Friday Favorites

So about a month ago, I started a series called “Friday Favorites.”  Then as I do with ALL series, I dropped off the face of the planet after 2 weeks. But I’m resolved to keep on truckin’ with this one- it’s just fun!

First up, THIS DRESS. Sorry I just yelled at you, but how completely comfortable-looking, and adorable is this? I’m thinking that one in every color would be perfect for a fall transition piece!

And now to my very favorite of the week- ItWorks wraps! Through a friend of a friend, Lindsay, I was able to try out four of the wraps over a several- week period. I truly had NO idea what to expect. A miracle would have been nice, but I knew better than that. 😉

I’ve carried over 40 pounds of babies in this tummy so to say it’s stretched out a bit is an understatement. 🙂

So here’s what I discovered: Each time I did the wrap according to directions*, it took one inch off the measurement right at my belly button. ONE INCH for a couple hours or so’s time. (The directions suggest 45 minutes at least, I usually did about 2 hours. More is better, right?)

Also, the skin on my stomach is much smoother and it even seems some of my stretch marks have faded a bit.

Tips: Drink LOTS of water while the wrap is on, that day, and the next few days. Basically, drink lots of water all the time! Also, wrap the SaranWrap around your body several times over the wrap to keep it in place. And keep still as long as possible. I tried vaccuming, etc while it was on- not a good idea!)

So if you’re looking to shave off 4 pounds in a few hours (wouldn’t that be nice!), this isn’t for you. But if you’re thisclose to fitting in a dress, an ItWorks wrap could be your answer!

*I didn’t realize how important showering before apply the wrap was, so I just cleaned off my abdominal area the first time. However, taking a warm shower beforehand opens your pores and allows the ingredients of the wrap to absorb better.
