Days After Baby, Celebs Look Amazing?

Bouncing Back from Baby!

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow gave birth to son Moses on April 8, 2006.

Her weight loss since has been a combination of dieting and working out. But, she also got a little help from her wardrobe.

She attributed her slim look at an L.A. gala to "Spanx," a slimming undergarment.

Celebrity Support-Bringing Back The Girdle!

Who says the media only reports bad news??

Especially celebrity news!

Here's a piece from ABC News about the comeback (and update) of the "girdle". I don't even like to use the "g" word because today's shapewear is far beyond anything Grandma wore.

Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry and Salma Hyek definitely don't bring images of Grandma to mind.

And, this also goes to show that the benefits of today's shapewear go beyond appearance. The article states that "It just helps them feel better-", when asked why even super models like Tyra Banks wear Spanx.

This is a great, quick-to-read article. Check it out here.

Fashionably Yours,

Sandra

O Magazine Feature

Cass & Company
The Luxury Shapewear Company

Featured in the November issue of Oprah Magazine!

When it comes to high-tech, silicone valley has nothing on Susan Ledyard, founder and designer of Cass & Company.

Shapewear has undergone an evolutionary process from the old fashioned girdle to the sophisticated shaping tops of today. Partly due to advances in the machinery used in making the fabrics garments, and partly due to understanding the beauty of the natural curves of a woman's figure. Susan understands both.

One look at Cass & Company shapewear, and the thought that goes into the garment is evident. The art of the design is to accentuate a woman's natural curves. Shapewear that is improperly designed will make you look, and feel, like a 10 pound sausage stuffed into a 5 pound casing. Not flattering at all!

Cass & Company utilizes very special knitting machines that actually creates various features in the garment as it knits. For example, the "love handle" area is knitted with an opposing knit that magically eliminates the roll. Several other features are knit into the shaper that address areas of concern. And, it's all done seamlessly. The result is a slimmer, smoother, sexier figure!

Amazing Non-Surgical Face Lift!

"Cosmetic Breakthrough: The Science Behind the 10 Minute Non-Surgical Face Lift"

Firm, smooth, wrinkle-relaxed skin.(No needles. No waiting. No kidding.)

LiftFusion™ is the alternative to doctor-administered anti-wrinkle injections.

Until now, eliminating lines and wrinkles effectively has required painful, costly and regular injections of muscle inhibitors like Botox® and fillers like Restylane®. Technologically advanced LiftFusion™ formula, with breakthrough Micro-Injected M-Tox™ nanospheres, delivers visibly transformational results without the discomfort, side effects and unnatural loss of facial expressiveness associated with many syringe-administered anti-wrinkle products.

• Wrinkles result from facial expressions along with the loss of key skin components: collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Micro-Injected M-Tox™, a proprietary blend of anti-wrinkle ingredients, absorbs and activates on contact to transform skin's appearance into firm, smooth, virtually wrinkle-free skin:
  
• Proprietary micro-injected muscle inhibitors absorb on contact for visibly relaxed fine lines and wrinkles.
  
• Hyaluronic acid-filling spheres capture and instantly swell with the body's water, plumping to fill and smooth even deep wrinkles, smoothing and lifting to restore skin's youthful firmness.
  
• Blend of proteins boost collagen production to tone, firm and promote resilient skin.The result? Fine lines and even deep wrinkles are virtually reduced, vertical and horizontal forehead furrows, frown lines, crow's feet and nasolabial lines are softened, and skin tone and texture is dramatically transformed, as skin becomes smoother and more firm.

Unlike syringe-injected formulas, M-Tox™ results are noticeably effective, but completely reversible within a day.
