I've been overweight & I've been underweight. But in the last 10 years, after prayer, counseling & simply maturing, I got it right: balanced eating; balanced exercising. But I'd be amiss if I didn't say I still have occasional "frumpy" days. Here's my 5 secrets when I do:1. Spanx. Period. Get 1 pair or 2 or 3, HERE.
2. High-heels. The taller I look, the less wide I feel.
3. Tan. I don't know why, but when I feel frumpy, getting rid of my pasty-white-chalky epidermis seems to help.
4. Big 80s hair. Yep. You read that right. It's no secret that I have a rather large cranium. So if I am feeling large & have a large head, why would I walk around w/ flat hair pressed up against it? It only amplifies things. When I ask my stylist for big 80s hair its cuz the bigger the hair, the smaller I feel under it.
5. Layers. When you layer clothing it makes "frumpy" feel intentional.
OK. So there you have it. 5 non-expert slendHerizing secrets from Her here,

Right on! Especially when you have a huge pump in front..."frumpy" days are pretty much a daily. Heeled shoes, bigger hair, and dark colors help me feel not so round. Now I could really use a tan....icing on the cake ;) thanks for the "skinny"!
Oops last post by Jackie :)
I had a girl at work make the cutest comment..."I might not be that good looking but I have a great personality" she truly looked like female version of Alfred Hithcock !! ...but that personality was wonderfuland you just loved being in her presence!! Its important to be healthy and balanced with the outside but the beauty on the inside is truly what shines !!! A beautiful person of the heart !! :)
When have I ever seen you 'frumpy'? Um, never!
when i see the slightest outgrowth of ugly gray roots i reach for my stock of "clairol root touch up " and go to town fixing my own hair. within a few minutes i feel like a new person.
this way i can extend my professional color and save mucho moneys.

I agree with all 5 and practice all 5 randomly on different days. There's not a day goes by that I don't pull out at least one! (being from Indiana my tan however is from a spray - sadly).
def with you on the high-heels! great girl advice HP. thanks
Dude - I got the tanned thing down but I love the big hair/head.
I am enroute to a huge afro right now and I swear on the days I blow it out big - my face looks slimmer. Hilarious!
I am 5'8 3/4 and even two inch or kitty heels help slim a sista.
AND - I bought the eliptical and try to do 15 minutes every other day until I can do more.... it's somethin'
Thanks for the post...
Nice
