Review: Your Silhouette UK

Hey readers! I know it's been a few weeks since i last posted something, sorry about that but my dissertation draft has been handed in so I'm taking this chance to update you on a new trend that is slowly taking the UK by storm!
WAIST CINCHERS / WAIST TRAINING!! 

I know that we over here in the UK are a bit cautious about this new trend, so I'm going to give you the benefits of using this tool as an in aid in your weight loss journey and some information on the company i used to get mine!

Firstly, i would like to say that waist training and waist cinching are two very different things although the connection has been made the same, the two are very different. Waist training is normally with a bone corset and you string it up at the back rather than a cincher which uses latex, compression and two or three rows of hooks to slowly inch you down. Corsets are linked with the negative outcomes, such as a shift in organs and really tiny 10 inch waists. Whereas cinchers are a natural way to reduce the inches in your waist and smooth your torso.

Find The Lupita Nyong'o in You

Lupita Amondi Nyong'o, the beautiful Kenyan award winning actress who won The Oscars 2014 best supporting actress for 12 Years A Slave. She has recently been noticed and mentioned as a positive role model for women and little girls everywhere.

I wanted to really open up about myself, and the way Lupita has made me feel about myself, my skin tone, my hair and other little things and how I feel we should unite and feed the younger females in our generation to come.

When i was growing up in the 90's/00's, if I'm honest with you, i was never really happy about my skin tone, having a very fair skinned mother being dark seemed like a curse, darker than the 'popular' girls in school i felt like an automatic victim, my physical appearance not being pretty enough, not having the perfect smile, not having the perfect skin, not having perfect eyesight and having to wear glasses, my hair being so bushy and thick not having a nice hair texture etc (hence relaxing it around college), basically anything i could moan about, i did.
