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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Charla Krupp's new revised and paperback version of "HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD" is now available. You can purchase it on www.LIPOINABOX.com or www.UNDEROLOGY.com. This new addition is great! It gives us tips to keep us in style, fashion forward at any age. Charla also makes a great point about it keep us in the market to compete with anyone for jobs, etc.
It is no surprise that 3 of LIPO IN A BOX products are featured in this book again. Our always popular #46822, HighWaist Brief with legs. This is the item that was featured on Oprah in 2007 and 2008. Charla also mentions our popular SMART CUPS that have been very popular on QVC. SMART Cups are designed for modesty and shaping. They are a nipple concealment product designed for everyday, not just for special occasion wear. The third product mentioned in "HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD" is LIPO IN A BOX Capri length bodysuit. When you want help with support and jiggle from head to toe...this is it, style #46301. You can choose between with and underwire or without.
A couple products from UNDEROLOGY will help you "NOT LOOK OLD", as well. Our NEW "FABULOUS 40" is a tinted peptide moisturizer with SPF 40 sun protection. This is a great product to consider especially in spring and summer. It is getting fabulous reviews already.
The second product from UNDEROLOGY Smart Skin Care for aging I will mention is PEPTIAGE...full of incredible antiaging ingredients. Six peptides to help fight the signs of aging and reverse them. Check out these two product at our new website www.UNDEROLOGY.com.

Check out our NEW look at www.UNDEROLOGY.com. The new site features our NEW Shimmer & Shape line from LIPO IN A BOX.

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.

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!

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.
