Basically, they were going to give me two free Yummie Tummies and asked me to talk about my experience with them.

I agreed.  Mainly because I love Cat and will do anything she asks of me.

And also because this thing is supposed to cure muffin top.

Now, what the hell is a Yummie Tummie?

Yummie Tummie is a brand of “shapewear” similar to Spanx.  It’s designed to suck you in a little and, mainly, smooth everything out.  You know, the lumps and rolls and bumps that show up under clingy clothing and make the world forget you used to have a waistline separate from your hips.

Although there are a few different incarnations of the Yummie Tummie, it’s most common form is a tank top that is designed to be worn under your clothing.

Yummie Tummie White Tank Top

(That being said, Bossy managed to wear her black Yummie Tummie as a shirt all weekend long.  But that woman is a beautiful freak of nature.  So there’s that.)

The two things I was most concerned with were:

Would it work?

and

Could I breathe in it?

Notice I did not say “would it be comfortable?”.  I assumed it would not be.  Anything designed to suck in your fat is probably going to feel like it is sucking in your fat. But I have scars on my feet from uncomfortably hot shoes, so I am less concerned with comfort than I am with my body’s real and actual need for oxygen.

And yet, it was comfortable.

Really and truly and actually comfortable.

I could more than breathe – I could MOVE.  And the only difference between this and a normal tank top I would layer underneath my clothes was that I felt slightly more supported.  But in a good way, not a hold on to the bed post while someone tightens your corset way.

In fact, it was so comfortable that I actually slept in my Yummie Tummies on more than one occassion.  (Not on purpose, obviously.   But on “fuck I am too tired to take off ALL my clothes”.)

But did it work?

I give you, Exhibit A:

Followed immediately by, Exhibit B:

In a word:

Hell.  Yes.

I have a belly.  A pooch, if you will.  A paunch, some may call it.

I wear belts and structured shirts and all kinds of things in a desperate attempt to fake a waistline.

People constantly tell me that I am “little” because I am “short”, but I am also far more lumpy than I would like to be.  Especially between my rib cage and my hip bones.

Although this did nothing to shrink my ass, I was impressed by how well it smoothed everything out without causing massive overflow lumps above and below the smoothing panels.  I didn’t feel thinner so much as sleeker.

And feeling sleeker is sexy, damn it.

I give the Yummie Tummie two emphatic thumbs up.

Where can you get your own Yummie Tummie?

You can save 30% buying from the Yummie Tummie site directly.  Use discount code BLOGHER30 at checkout.

You can buy Yummie Tummie on Amazon – but you won’t get the discount, obviously.

(There are a few other stores that sell Yummie Tummie online, but they seemed to be priced higher than the site itself.)

I didn’t get to pick it out myself, so I’ve been anxiously waiting to see what I was getting and whether or not it would actually match anything I own.

Feast your eyes on these beauties:

Sorrelli Earrings in Peachy Keen

Sorrelli pendant in Peachy Keen

I am so excited that I am getting pieces from the Peachy Keen line.  Namely because it will go with damn near everything, and I have spent the last week looking for something brownish to go with the shirt I’m wearing Saturday, to no avail.  I’m also thinking I might be wearing this jewelry with a black cocktail dress on Friday night – but I’m not sure.  I’ll be bringing back up.

I’ve never worn Sorrelli, because quite frankly – I am too cheap.  But I’ve lusted after a friend‘s collection from afar.  I’m anxious to see it close up so that I can determine if it’s worth all that cash.

In other words – this isn’t a review!

I’ve never worn Sorrelli.  I’ve only looked at it on someone else and thought it was very, very pretty.  And told her over and over again it was pretty.  Until she finally got sick of listening to me and asked someone to please, for the love of God, send that lady a necklace.

Anyway.

If you already know and love Sorrelli jewelry, they are having a Summer Sale right now (until Friday)and offering 15% off of orders of $100.  Because you pretty much spend that much at least if you go to their web site.

AND…

You can get an extra 5% off all orders from today until Sunday by using the code BLOGHER5.

(If you spend $100 between now and Friday, you can combine offers and save 20%.  Woo hoo!)

Tell them some chic on the Internet sent you.
