I don’t care how much you work out, most women over 40 need a little help around the middle.

I just started wearing shapewear recently. I work out 4-5 times a week, my BMI is 22, and my doctor told me my weight is “perfect,” but I still have what my sisters and I lovely refer to as the “fat roll” or “Buddha Belly.” We’ve all got it. I appreciate a little something that minimizes my belly so I can tuck in my shirt without worries.

Just a thought, but that Facebook app sounds like the most pointless thing ever. Just un-tag the picture your self and, if the picture is really bad, ask your friend yourself to remove the picture. If the picture is that bad and your friend has an ounce of professionalism and/or decency, I’m sure they’d take the picture down.

As someone who wears shapewear from time to time, I don’t think it hurts my motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since I’m a pear shape, no amount of exercising is going to give me narrow hips and thin thighs. Many women have the same issue with their tummies.

That article on shapewear just confirmed to me that I shouldn’t try that stuff…. sounds horribly uncomfortable and really not worth it! Plus I’d think that there would be more motivation to keep the weight off if I didn’t have any Spanx to save me…

Here is my idea for storing scarves: I save paper towel, tp, or aluminum foil rolls (various sizes for various width scarves) and wrap one scarf around each. They sit nicely on a shelf and there are no creases from folding or wrinkles from stuffing in a drawer.

Can you post a picture of the business card necklace thing? I’m intrigued.

I love the idea of using the business cards for necklaces! I have a “tree” that I put some necklaces on, but the silver ones always tarnish if left out in the air. so I just drape them over my jewelry box in my dresser drawer, but inevitably they become a tangled mess. Thanks Corporette for yet another great idea!

Palm Pilot? No blackberry or iPhone?
I find the iPhone to be my most relevant business accessory, personally.
