HYDRATION, HYDRATION, HYDRATION…HYDROXtreme!

Hydration is the first step toward achieving skin that appears youthful, smooth and vibrant. HYDROXtreme Cream from Underology Skin Care line combines the highest concentration of Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane. These two effective hydrating components are bound together with a technology that is based on the “Hydraconcept”, a moisturizing and restructuring efficacy achieved by the harmonization of the skin’s hydrous flow.
This technology improves water reserves and limits water loss. The outcome is more balanced, smoothed and hydrated skin that is better equipped to combat harmful effects of the environment that your skin is exposed to daily.
Hyaluronic Acid plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication and cellular function. It acts as a water pump for the skin, holding 1000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid increases smoothness, softens and decreases wrinkles. It is an excellent hydrator scientifically proven to stimulate new cell growth.
Squalane is derived from the extract of the insaponifiable part of olive oil and is an unsaturated oil having the molecular structure similar to vitamin A. Squalane is a natural component of human skin when we are children and through adolescence. As we enter our twenties the amount rapidly decreases contributing to the aging process. Squalane not only moisturizes the skin but provides a barrier to prevent moisture loss. Squalane is proven as a powerful moisturizer and helps to decrease dryness and smooth away dry, flaky skin.
HYDROXtreme by Underology Skin Care provides powerful benefit with a short ingredient list. (1oz $48)

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

We have available tasteful laminated bookmarks with warning signs of domestic violence and some encouraging words and facts for women. If you have a women's group, business, Sunday School class, or any format to distribute these bookmarks contact my office at info@lipoinabox.com or 1.866.547.6269 and we will be happy to send them to you.

I believe, as a survivor myself, that education and awareness is the key to stopping the cycle of abuse in our families today. Let's get this cause "OUT OF THE CLOSET" and make everyone aware of the warning signs. Let's let the ones experiencing this terror be it women, men, children or the elderly that they are not alone and do not deserve abuse.

ONE in THREE women experience an abusive relationship in their lifetime. Relationship abuse, like breast cancer, knows no boundaries. Women, men and children from all walks of life are affected.


Check out the October issue of YOGA Magazine. You will find some great editorial about UNDEROLOGY Skin Care and hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic Acid...everyone's talking about it in skin care! But what is it?

It is a naturally-occurring substance found throughout the body. It plays an important rold in tissue hydration, lubrication and cellular function. It acts as a water pump for the skin, holding 1000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid increases smoothness, softens and diminishes appearance of wrinkle depth by hydrating and stimulating new cell growth. Visualize the difference of a raisin and a grape - hydration plays a big part in the difference.

Two products by UNDEROLOGY Skin Care contain high levels of hyaluronic acid; HYDROXtreme Cream and HYDRO1000 Serum. What makes UNDEROLOGY different than other skin care products with hyaluronic? A short ingredients list. Which means more hyaluronic acid to hydrate, plump up the skin, soften and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and the opportunity to experience visibly more vibrant skin faster.

The complete line of products by UNDEROLOGY are known for their short ingredients list and high levels of active ingredients which are NOT diluted with lots of fillers. The mission of the brand, founded by Connie Elder, is to porvide products with the highest quality, clean ingredients, which everyone deserves - for a price equivalent to department store brands.

Our NEWEST Underology Skin Care product was just released this week...RESVERATROL-PEPTIDE Firming and Line Formula!
Resveratrol is what all the buzz is about in anti-aging.

Below are the details of What, Who and Why of our NEW product containing RESVERATROL:

What is it: Resveratrol-Peptide Formula is the latest innovation for the reduction of wrinkles. This formula combines the natural anti-oxidant properties of Resveratrol (one of the strongest activators of Sirtuin) with six of the most potent peptides currently available to address the effects of aging on the skin.

Who is it for: All skin types, especially for those who want to prevent the formation of new expression lines and to reduce the appearance of current lines and improve skin texture.

Why is it different: Combining these two innovative components into one formula with concentrated levels of each, which are not diluted with fillers, allows one to experience the benefits of both in one formula.

Resveratrol (Found in Red Wine and derived from the skin of grapes, is considered one of the latest and most effective anti-aging ingredients. Containing powerful anti-oxidant properties, it effectively flushes out toxins from your body, resulting in a healthier more youthful look.)

Peptides (Have been shown to gently help inhibit muscle contractions that form expression lines. In addition, peptides help contribute to the production of new collagen, which can result in a more youthful appearance of the skin.)

INGREDIENTS: Purified Water, Resveratrol, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba Oil), Apricot Kernel Oil, Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid, Laureth-7, C13-14
Isoparaffin, Polyacrylamide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Pentapeptide-18,
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Acetyl Glutamyl
Heptapeptide-1, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7,

Are you tired of all of the buzz about skin care?? Buying the latest, greatest and still experiencing absolutely no difference in your skin??

UNDEROLOGY SMART Skin Care is REALLY different! What makes it different? I'm glad you ask...

Our ingredients list is short. Have you ever looked at the ingredient list of most skin care products? How can there be enough of any ingredient to affect a change in your skin... if there are so many ingredients? Oh, and most of them are not key ingredients...then why are they there, and why are there so many 'NON-KEY' ingredients, diluting the good stuff???

UNDEROLOGY SMART Skin Care uses high levels of innovative active ingredients that are NOT diluted with multiples of fillers and perservatives.

What difference will this make? Just think...if you have more of the GOOD STUFF that really works (key/active ingredients), then it only makes sense that you will see results and faster.

My mission with the new UNDEROLOGY SMART Skincare line is to provide products with the highest quality ingredients which women deserve, for a price equivalent to what women spend for department store brands.

"Smart Cups" by Lipo in a Box were featured on QVC as a "Summer Surprise" special and as a "My Favorite" by Jacque Gonzales, QVC host.
If you are looking for modesty and shaping in all your everyday fashions, this may be just what you have been looking for.
www.QVC.com QVC item number is A6011
or
www.lipoinabox.com

I continue to run across women who are looking for ways to prevent nipples from showing through their clothes and bras. As you know, there are many products on the market today for backless dresses etc., but what about for everyday wear, when you don't want to use tape and have sticky nipples.
Have you heard about "Smart Cups" by Lipo in a Box? This is the answer. To all women who know about this product... We need to spread the word to our fellow sisters who are still in search!

What are Smart Cups, you may ask...they are simply a dense bra insert, not bulky, which provide nipple concealment and shaping. No, they are not thick like a padded bra, no they are not stiff and only fit one shape bust, no they are not silicone and make you icky feeling. They are thin, lightweight, formed like the shape of a woman's bust yet flexible. You can wear them in bras, bodysuits, camis, shelve cami's when you aren't wearing a bra, swimwear, halter tops, and the list goes on.
Don't be afaid of these if you are larger busted. They do NOT add bulk. They make it easy for you to buy any bra (even those with no padding) and still feel confident you are not tell everyone it's cold!

These clever little 'Smart Cups' come 2 set per package, 2 nude or 1 nude and 1 black set. The are sized either B/C or D/DD.

Check out the customer reviews on this product on QVC. There are 235 reviews with a 91% approval rating. Need I say more?

This is what Catherine Schuller says about LIPO IN A BOX and Underology....

Lipo in a Box is my favorite undergarment ever. Not only does it smoothe, shape and streamline my bulges and blips under my clothing, but it gives me confidence in the most comfortable way possible. How can something so functional be something I actually want to wear? When I don't have it on, I feel like something is missing. It hugs me and supports me and makes me feel connected to my inner strength. Wearing Lipo in a Box borders on an almost spirtiual experience!

The skin products in Underology are all divine. It's hard to single out any one that is my favorite because every product in the entire line works together to produce amazing results. Everyone thinks I am at least 15 years younger than my actual chronological age and that cannot be a bad thing! If I had to single out something I would say perhaps the eye cream, no.... maybe the lip balm, no wait...maybe the cleansing foam, no, I think I'd have to say the PM Performance Cream with that tingle that reminds me of how "it's working." See what I mean??? The whole line is the BEST!!!

Testimonial about UNDEROLOGY Skin Care.....

Connie,

I don't know where to begin, I am so happy with all the Underology products I have been using! Let's start with the Glycolic Exfoliator, when I first started using this, a guy that I worked with said to me, "have you done something different? you just seem to be glowing" I thought that was pretty interesting that a guy noticed. I have had many compliments since. Several girlfriends have asked what in the world to use on your face for it to look so flawless? I absolutely love the Peptiage also, the results have been awesome, my forehead and around my eyes have hardly any fine lines, this makes me very happy! I love, love, love the Microderm Abrasion kit for skin that feels smooth as a baby's behind! I use it often, especially if I have an event I am headed to. In fact, I just went to my 20 year class reunion and everyone told me how young I still look! I also use the Eye Give Up everyday love it as well. The Hydro1000 in tandem with the Extreme Moisture is just the right level of moisture for me. My skin never feels or looks oily, just healthy and bright. I also want to thank you for the Fabulous 40, I have two sons that play travel baseball and I am sitting out in the sun every weekend for hours and hours at a time and I never ever get burnt! It is awesome, I use it on my 6 year old daughter as well. She loves it becasue she feels like she is getting to wear make up since it is tinted and it doesn't sting and irritate her face like most sunscreens do. Oh, I can't for get the Foaming Cleanser, how could washing your face get any easier? Thanks for your attention the the fine products you offer!

Latest product introduced by LIPO IN A BOX is the Tank Bodysuit. This NEW style of LIPO IN A BOX was just release on July 2, 2009.
The Tank Bodysuit is available in a full coverage bottom, style #46100 or a thong bottom, style #46115. Both styles are available in Nude or Black, sizes XS-2X.

There is enough support in the bust area, even though this style has no underwire, that most can wear it without a bra. If you choose to wear a bra with the tank bodysuit, the straps will cover it sufficiently. If you are choosing the option of 'no bra' you may want to use SMART CUPS by LIPO IN A BOX to provide extra nipple concealment and shaping.

Check it out and "WHITTLE YOUR MIDDLE" with the lastest addition to the LIPO IN A BOX family of shapewear products.

I was proud to be among the over 300 women who during tough economical times made generous contribution to the successful 'Burn the Mortgage' campaign on the YWCA Weaver Domestic Violenc Shelter. When women work together they can accomplish amazing results. With leaders in place like Pat Shea, Sigourney Cheek and Nicky Weaver goals were not only set, but met!

Sigourney Cheek and Nicky Weaver led a very successful 12-month fundraising campaign, raising over $2 million to eliminate the debt on the YWCA Weaver Domestic Violence Shelter. The facility is the largest domestic violence shelter in the state of Tennessee. Nationally acclaimed photographer, Dean Dixon, snapped the photo which includes many of the over 300 generous donors and will be featured on two area billboards. The billboards can be seen on the Church Street Viaduct - outbound and near the Hwy 100/Harding split - outbound.

Relationships have ups and downs, but there are certain types of behavior in any relationship that are unacceptable and abusive. If you think that your partner is abusive or you suspect that someone you know is in an abusive relationship, call the YWCA Crisis & Information Line, it is free and confidential, 24 hours a day. (615) 242-1199 or (800) 334-4628.

LIPO IN A BOX and UNDEROLOGY continually support the YWCA Nashville and the National Hotline for Domestic Violence 1(800)799-SAFE.

Tonight, LIPO IN A BOX was the "HOT PICK" on QVC's PM Style with Lisa Robertson. A great product that will 'Whittle Your Middle' was featured. Shaping Camisole by LIPO IN A BOX (QVC Style #A2220) which is offered with or without an underwire was the item featured. QVC calls the style without an underwire the 'soft cup' option.

This camisole is unique in that you can wear it as your bra and not need to wear a bra underneath. The underwire style acts as your bra and cami in one, helping to eliminate any bra lines under fine gauge fabrics or light colored fabrics. The straps are adjustable just like a bra. There is extra support and control woven into the cami under and beside the bust area to shape yet not mash you flat, like some sports bras. You will also find a firmer compression in the waist area which will 'Whittle Your Middle' and give you a toned look in your clothes. This product is COMPLETELY seamless! No show through and no ones knows you are wearing it if they put their arm around you. You just feel smooth and toned, no muffin top!

If you want to wear your own bra with the camisole the style without an underwire (soft cup) is the best choice.

You can find this style on www.QVC.com or www.LIPOINABOX.com

Kim and I just returned from the ASMBS Convention in Dallas for Bariatric Surgery. What a great group of people! Everyone was excited to see us since last year we were unable to attend (first time in 4 year) because of being featured on Oprah, March 2008.

We were thrilled to share with support group leaders and facilitators about our NEW styles of LIPO IN A BOX Shapewear and many NEW products from our UNDEROLOGY Skin Care line. Attendees were able to preview several NEW styles that will release in a couple weeks...check www.LIPOINABOX.com to see them soon. Most everyone who stopped by our booth ask us to send literature for their patients. We provide support groups and physicians offices with brochures about LIPO IN A BOX and UNDEROLOGY products. The physicians offices put this material in new patient packages. Support groups are using the material as a fun topic for a support group meeting on image or fashion, etc.

LIPO IN A BOX shapewear is being worn by many patients once they start losing weight after lap band procedures. LIPO IN A BOX is patented with a varied compression to provide comfort and control in one garment. Wearing LIPO IN A BOX helps with loose skin as one loses weight and provides a smooth, toned look in your clothes. Many patients tell us they exercise in our garments so the loose skin doesn't pull while they are active. Patients also comment they have less chaffing when they exercise in LIPO IN A BOX. We learn so much from interacting with the bariatric community.

UNDEROLOGY Skin Care product are also great for a bariatric patient. Our high levels of active ingredients that have not been diluted with lots of fillers will provide hydration and moisture to skin that is usually dehydrated and dry. A little goes a long way with UNDEROLOGY Skin Care due to the concentrated level of active ingredients.

This morning I presented our NEW Long Tank from LIPO IN A BOX on QVC's Fashion Friday Show. It was a SELL OUT! Everyone loved this practical style and the versatility of this garment.
The NEW Long Tank is our original fabric with firm control. It provides substantial support in the bust area to lift and support the bust without mashing like a sports bra. The straps are wide and if you wear your bra with it, the straps will hide your bra straps. Because of the bust support, you can go without a bra and just wear our SMART Cups for a bit of additional shaping and nipple concealment.
This Long Tank style offer excellent control in the midriff area and is long enough to cover the lower tummy area too! This will become one of your favs with color choices of nude, black and charcoal.
You can go on www.QVC.com for other styles or get on the waitlist for this item or check out www.UNDEROLOGY.com for availability.

On Saturady, May 2, 2009, www.Underology.com and www.LIPO IN A BOX.com sponsored the first annual, "A Day at the Derby", an exciting and successful funraising event. The Derby was history making with a lot of talk around Mine That Bird winning the race. I am sure many of you are still talking about it.
"A Day at the Derby" was held at the Crow's Nest in Nashville, Tennessee. What a great venue for a Derby party! There was a silent action, raffle, Kentucky style dinner and of course a "Hat Contest".
With approximately 250 guest enjoying the event it was a great success benefiting the organization PARENTS REACHING OUT.
PARENTS REACHING OUT was founded in 1983 by Derenda Hodge. It is the only agency in Middle Tennessee which provides peer counseling to mothers experiencing high-risk pregancies and to parents of premature or critically ill newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to parents of children in pediatric critical care (PCCU). This organization serves Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, Centennial Medical Center and Baptist Hospital.

Underology Fabulous 40 Review
I never leave the house without sunblock on and sometimes I feel weighted down from facial cream, sunblock and then foundation on top of that. Since having the opportunity to try the New Underology Fabulous 40 Tinted SPF Peptide Moisturizer, I no longer feel like my face weighs a ton.

In our house we can very quickly, without warning go from outside play to having an outing. Eventhough I am a mom, I always want to look and feel my best. Fabulous 40 allows me to feel my best by not only protecting my skin from UV rays, but also adding that moisturizer and a touch of tint. Just enough tint to give my skin a great color. I wear this product daily and love it more and more with each passing day!

Fabulous 40 is an aloe based tinted moisturizer formulated with the latest nano-technology and biotechnology to deliver UVA and UVB protection at a very high level. An added bonus is the wrinkle fighting and antioxidant benefits from Green Tea and Lipoic Acids.

Underology also has another amazing new product out perfect for the upcoming summer months This product is called 29 & Holding (you have to love that name). But this is a spray on sunscreen containing Micronized Titanium Dioxide to provide maximum spray-on protection against the sun’s harmful UVA/UVB rays. www.UNDEROLOGY.com

Happy Spring!!! Finally spring is here. Along with spring comes many types of special events; weddings, showers, reunions and many more! Sometimes the attire for special events makes us a bit anxious depending on our lifestyle, wardrobe, weight, age, etc. If you have an event coming up and need some special attention to make you feel great about how you look in that fabulous outfit help is available at www.connieelder.com or www.lipoinabox.com. If you thought you couldn't find a strapless bra that would really work, we have one, MARILYN, the Ultimate Strapless Bra.

Foundations, underwear, shapewear, undies, the right bra; all the items we wear underneath are what make us look so good when we attend special events. Most of all you need underwear that makes you feel comfortable, confident and secure. My goal is "not to think about my underwear when attending a special event". Special events are for enjoying those around you and having a good time.
"Undercover HELP"

Yes...it is that bitter sweet time of the year! What do I mean? Well, warm weather also means swimsuit weather. How many of us girls really enjoy shopping for swimsuits? I don't know any that REALLY enjoy it. We are way to critical of ourselves.
I was reading a recent issue of MORE magazine that featured several great styles of swimsuits for those of us over 40. MORE did a great job of showing a variety of styles for different bodytypes and taste.
As someone who likes a bit of control in my swimsuit and certainly prefers a one piece I am always confused when they add layers in order to achieve a slimmer look. It doesn't really make sense to me to add several layers of control fabric to make you look slimmer in your swimsuit. Doesn't that add bulk and make you hot? I always believed the one layer (if it were the right fabric) should be able to do the job. Try and find a control suit with only one layer of fabric.

Remember our good friend Spandex? We all know it has served us well in many capacities. It is now doing the job in a swimsuit with 52% spandex. YES...I said 52% SPANDEX! The SMARTsuit is a fashionable new swimsuit that has 52% spandex in a one layer, one piece SMARTsuit. It is made from SMART fabric! Does the job, feels good, without all those added layers of fabric. Check it out at www.lipoinabox.com . One style was just launched on QVC in late April and there are 2 styles on the website. Check out the matching pareo, it covers a multitude of sins and looks great while it does it's job.

Enjoy your time in the sun with family and friends, but don't forget the sunscreen! Happy Summer to all!

Have you ever thought about how important foundations are in our lives. Think about it...whether it is the foundation our house is built on, the foundation our morals are developed from, our undergarment foundations or our skincare regime that creates the proper canvas to apply the foundation we use for our makeup. They are all vitally important!

In thinking about how important foundations are I realized "I am in the FOUNDATION businesss". I don't plan on rushing out and getting in the home construction business, but there are lots of products that can be used to provide foundations in our lives as women.

I want to share with you about a great cosmetic foundation that I have found. It's like a dream...everything you want in one foundation; coverage, not too much coverage, stays on, doesn't wear off easily, waterproof (great as warmer weather and more outdoor activities are a part of our day), lightweight, doesn't look heavy, excellent color choices no matter what shade your skintone, looks like you aren't wearing makeup. If you want to know more go to www.danreadcosmetics.com . You will find out more information about this excellent foundation on the website. It is the "best kept secret" as cosmetic foundations go in my opinion.

I have found if you use skincare product that have high quality active ingredients and are not full of fillers and preservatives (www.connieelder.com ) and find a great foundation like Dan Read "Silver Screen Series" foundation (www.danreadcosmetics.com ) you can use any eyeshadows, lipsticks, and other color products and look great! I know there are difference and we all have our preferences, but if you get the basics, the "foundation" right, all the other comes together and looks good! Cover Girl, Bare Essentials, Laura Geller, Chanel and Smashbox all go on well and look great on a proper foundation.

It's the same story with clothing. If you are wear the proper foundations (www.lipoinabox.com ) to include shapewear and bras (www.connieelder.com ) it doesn't matter where you buy your clothes they will look great! Whether you shop at Target,Macy's, QVC or Nordstroms, if your foundation undergarments are right for you and your body type, your clothes will make you look your best and you will walk out of the house feeling confident.

Happy Easter to all!

Are you paying attention to all the buzz about bras lately? It is amazing how much is being said in the press about bras. Oprah had a show 'just on bras' and now everyone is trying to finally encourage us to fit ourselves in the proper bra size.

I bet it would be amazing to discover how many ladies have not considered a different size bra in... let's say 10 years. If you think about it, we all should consider a possible change if...we have gained or lost 10 or more pounds, had a baby, not measured in a few years or if our bust just isn't were it is supposed to be.

Let's do ourselves a favor and get out the ol' measuring tape. If you are looking for some guidance on how to measure and what to calculate, go to www.connieelder.com and you will find some fit tips for bras. You will find this helpful and may just find yourself in a new size bra. That would be a GREAT excuse for shopping!

Wearing the correct bra size can also be one of the fastest ways to looking slimmer, trimmer and feeling thinner. Couple that with a new shaper or body suit (found on www.lipoinabox.com) and you'll be ready to go out this weekend and do the town looking your best!

As I was traveling yesterday through a couple airports one thing was very obvious. Most of us women who are over 35 could look so much better in our clothes if we wear the proper foundations, yes, better undergarments.
Of course I know when traveling comfort is of the most concern. You may have delayed flights, get stuck in a bad seating arrangement and just want to be comfortable. Still, an airport is such a great people watching place. In this case, I was doing my version of "What not to wear", my own mini series from the airport. It was a fun game I played to pass the time.

What I found was that many women who are 15lbs or more overweight can look as good and many times better, if they were wearing the proper "girdle", foundation garment, underwear... than the women who are at their ideal weight who don't wear the proper undies. I must say it wasn't just about undies, yet that was a big part. Much of it was just the type of clothing ladies choose and not necessarily a good choice for their bodytype.

Now I understand why there are so many articles and TV shows to address such faux pas. I personally had on my LIPO IN A BOX bodysuit with legs, Chico's jean with 2% spandex and was comfy and had no visible pantylines.

Safe travels to all!
P/S Check out the bodysuits at www.lipoinabox.com

Today I am wearing the most comfortable bra known to women...oh, my.. it is great! This bra is called Brigitte. It fits like nothing else I have ever worn. I believe every women wants a comfortable bra that fits, gives support, is pretty and wears well. This one does it all. You can find it on the website for Connie Elder International www.connieelder.com. This bra line is called The SMART bra. They have just arrived and Brigitte is the newest to the line.

For bodysuits or shapewear to compliment the Brigitte bra check out the highwaisted girdle products from LIPO IN A BOX. You can find body suits that do not have an underwire so you can wear your own bra with it. It's a new concept in bodysuits. The other option is the highwaisted styles that come all the way up and meet your bra. All of these create a great sleek look in your clothes. Check them out at www.lipoinabox.com. The bodysuit is back! What a great piece of underwear and it's seamless!

I have been doing a bit of shapewear shopping, yes checking out how Grandma's Girdle as evolved. It is amazing how many new style are still no more comfortable than the ones of the past. I am still confident that the girdle of choice for me is Lipo in a Box. If you have a thick middle, hips that need a bit of Christmas carved off or just a tigher tummy the LIPO IN A BOX styles still work best for all these percieved figure flaws.
