Beauty School Wednesday by Jackie Silver, author of Aging Backwards: Secrets of Staying Young and Beauty Editor for Clear Channel's Mix 100.7 Nancy & Chris Mornings in Tampa Bay

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - Slimpressions is a line of everyday slim shaper designed to slim a woman's arms, back and midriff.  Slimpressions' garments create an illusion of weight reduction boosting confidence while sculpting the top half of a woman's body.  The company's three styles are all comfortable and minimize roll ups. Each style comes in four different colors. Slimpressions shapewear is available online at retailers like herroom.com as well as in boutiques across the country and in Canada. You can see before/after pictures at their Web site.

I recently met a couple of fabulous women at the Pink Conference. (Pink is a national magazine for women and a great networking tool) Jennifer Daniels and Amy Pedersen have created a slimming garment called Slimpressions. This Marietta duo have come up with something that is comfy and affordable. It slims your arms, back and midsection and it doesn’t roll. It also keeps you warm on this cold winter days. Check it out at Slimpressions.com

Efficiency is totally your middle name. Or it would be, at least, if your parents hadn't already put "Dolores" on the birth certificate.

As such, you have little patience for wasting time – whether in the office or out.

Which is why we think you'll love the latest batch of slimming shapewear garments, which deliver instant figure-boosting results without dieting or the painful burden of sweating it out on a treadmill while trying to read the Judge Judy closed-captioning subtitles at the gym.

Don't think of it as cheating. Just think of it as a handy shortcut to improving your (ahem) bottom line.

Slimpressions: "Reconfigure your figure" with goodies like the bust-lifting, tummy-smoothing Skinny Mini camisole, and the Haves and Have Nots tops, which tackle flabby arms, droopy boobs and bulging bellies.

The Curve NY show introduced me to a new product designed to tackle that pesky arm flab. Not only do the consumer tested Slimpressions shapewear tame arm flab, but also smooth out the the back and midriff. Available in three silhouettes (The Haves, The Have-Nots, and the Skinny Minis), you can meet your individual needs to “reconfigure your figure. ”Both the Haves and the Have-Nots feature a ribbed midriff for all around support as well as gentle compression on the arms preventing that unsightly underarm flappage. Additionally, both of the body shapers feature a long torso ideal for tucking or layering. However, the Have-Nots scoops under the breasts for women who do not prefer the extra compression. The Skinny Minis provide the same upper body control as the Haves collection, but allows your arms to be free. 

The machine washable (!) Slimpressions are available in Black, Brown, White, and Nude and in sizes 1, 2, and 3 which correspond with pant sizes. Why pant sizes? The torso of Slimpressions body slimmer is long enough to cover your entire midriff so is sized to match that area of your body
