Succumbing To Spanx (Finally!)

{Source}

 

Hi darlings! Hope you guys had a great weekend!

 

Mine was pretty nice, actually. My parents are in town, and even though we didn't do anything particularly exciting -mostly due to the bad weather and my folks trying to get over the jet lag- we certainly enjoyed each other's company.

 

One of the highlights of the weekend was that my mum and I finally succumbed to Spanx's 'hidden' charm -literally!- and bought ourselves a pair of shapers.

 

Those bad boys definitely do their job. I believe one of the keys of this product is to wear it with the right outfit, so that it leverages its power and you look 'red carpet' ready. There's a reason why every single celeb wears it under those tight night gowns.

 

But what I have to admit it impressed me the most, is the vision and drive of the woman behind the empire: Sara Blakely. I read her story and it inspires me SO much. Sometimes it's not a matter of inveting something -my mother and grandmother have worn shapewear in Spain for decades....- but reinventing! Spanx fiber and new designs up the ante on shapers as those products are mostly comfortable and effective.

 

Have you guys tried Spanx yet? Do you have any billion-dollar idea you want to share here? Have an awesome week!
