A Tutorial on Spanx
(or how to stuff your muffin top into a lycra tube)
~:: Frugalista ::~
Do you wear Spanx? Are you afraid of their snugness? Do you think it’s futile and your muffin top will just spill over the elastic anyway? Well, I wear Spanx. I wear them any chance I get. I love the fortress of beige elastic that pulls my squishy pizza dough of a belly to a New York thin crust instead of a Chicago deep dish. I love the fact that they have a style that goes all the way up to my armpits so there’s no chance that my muffin top can escape.

Your Body Style is Great

It becomes like the chorus of a catchy song. Put-downs so common we don’t even think about muttering them out loud. “I need to lose these saddle bags.” “I hate my belly.” “My butt is too big.” We need to STOP. It’s time we embraced ourselves, because we are so much more than a shape. We are awesome and we deserve better.

The First Day
~:: Djibouti Jones ::~
The first day in Djibouti was, um, difficult. I thought Lucy would be the one to have a meltdown, but I was wrong. It was me. And in Djibouti, the term ‘meltdown’ takes on a whole new meaning.
The heat index was 140F.
The ‘F’ can stand for whatever you think I was thinking as I lay on the mattress in a pool of sweat, thoughts of my two children in Kenya running through my mind. Why, oh why, had I left them there and come home to this?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in a few short weeks, we will be seeing pink everywhere. Breast Cancer does not wait for October to affect families though, and two years ago, I had my big “wake up” call when cancer affected my family. I now will always be vigilant about taking care of myself and encouraging my female friends and family members to do the same. Today, I would love to give you a glimpse of my story.
