Good luck to all at the Oscars tonight. We can't wait to see you grace the red carpet (especially those that are wearing Slimpressions body shapers). Don't worry. Your secret is safe with us! Break a leg!



Like the rest of the world, we feel for the people of Haiti in the wake of yesterday's devastating earthquake. As you may know, we at Slimpressions shapewear are passionate about supporting Food for the Poor Inc and we have been working towards building a village in Haiti. We applaud Food for the Poor for their commitment to those in need and their ability to stretch every dollar.
We ask you to join us in support of the poorest of the poor in this desolate country, now more than ever. Please consider donating to Food for the Poor at this time at http://www.foodforthepoor.org/lahatte or other worthy non-profit organizations to assist Haitians in need.
On behalf of all of us at Slimpressions shapewear, may you be abundantly blessed for your support of those in need.
Jen and I are often asked how we got into the shapewear business. Candidly, our leap into the body shaper industry was inspired by my own personal need. One cold winter morning, I was dropping my little ones off at preschool. I waved across the parking lot a friend who was about ten feet or so from me. When I stopped waving, however, something strange happened. Although my hand stopped waving, my arm flab did not! The embarrassing part was not the fact that I had arm flab. The embarrassing part was that I could see in my friend’s face that SHE SAW that I had arm flab.
Long before Jen and I founded Slimpressions® shapewear, we knew we were blessed. We live in a country full of abundance. It’s easy to take for granted all of the many blessings so many of us have…..a warm, safe place to live, access to food and clean water, educational opportunities, religious freedom and the ability to pursue our dreams. In addition, Jen and I are surrounded by truly amazing people in our lives including our husbands, children, extended family, friends and the entire Slimpressions shapewear team. We are truly blessed women.
Jen and I learned of Food for the Poor several years ago at church and we immediately fell in love with the good work this organization does. Food for the Poor is committed to helping the poorest of the poor in the world. They run an extremely lean operation. Only a few cents from every dollar go towards overhead expenses. The rest is used to help those in need.
Jen and I are very proud of the fact that we’ve been able to house two families, provide livestock, school supplies, food, medicine and materials to help people to earn a livelihood in the Caribbean. We’re well on our way toward our next goal as well. We’re working hard to build a village in Haiti. Our project consists of 15 houses, 15 sanitation areas and a community center in a very desolate area of Haiti. You can feel good knowing that a portion of your purchase of Slimpressions® body shapers go towards helping those less fortunate. For more information about Food for the Poor and the village we’ve adopted, please visit their website.
Thank you so much for your support of Slimpressions shapewear and Food for the Poor.
