Each of us is created with our own unique physical beauty. Sometimes lack of embracing our bodies causes us to take sometimes extreme measures in wanting the 'perfect body'. I believe that we should aspire to be holistic. In other words take a few minutes for yourself daily. Have a proper diet and excercise regime ( simply walking, sharing with friends or meditation). Be beautiful in you and as Dr. Zuess says be the best you that you can be. :)

Just a few tips I found #realsimple on getting the right fit for your body type: Which type are you?

Knowing your body type makes it easier for you to wear what is most appropriate and flattering to your body. Most women fall into four categories ;Circle (thick around the middle), Triangle (larger at the bottom), Hourglass (curvy but evenly proportioned) and Rectangle ( straight up and down).

I will continue next on the most appropriate pieces you should wear for your bodytype.

Celebrate you! :)

The importance of foundation garments...

Foundation garments of many types are used to change one’s shape so that clothing worn over them show off the figure to its best advantage. They can range from the highly restrictive corset to simple brassieres, girdles or support garments like the popular Spanx.

Foundation garments, which may be alternately called shapewear, have undergone many changes throughout the centuries, but they all provide a body foundation, upon which clothing is built. They’re by no means miracle workers. If you wear a size 14, a girdle will not have you wearing a size 2 no matter how much you might like it to achieve that affect. But some foundation garments can pull in the waist slightly, make the thigh or buttocks appear lifted or smoother, and of course lift the breasts, making them appear supported, and smaller or bigger.

Beauty...

"Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart and most importantly, a beautiful soul." - Anonymous

Our vision is to assist women in embracing their true and unique 

beauty (fearfully and wonderfully made) and not to conform to 

society's portrayal of what beauty is. Today's society is primarily 

focused on artificial aesthetics and this can often negatively 

influence women to conform. This can also be the root cause of many 

complexes and self-esteem issues that women may develop. The House of 

Finesse believes in holistically empowering women to believe in their 

own self-worth and the dynamism of being a woman of substance.
