Honest Mum in SPANX

Loving the SPANX Jean’ish Leggings & Win a Pair Worth £89

August 29, 2017

Honest Mum in SPANX

For those who’ve followed me forever (nearly 7 years in blog land is a million IRL, right?) I ‘huge heart eyes emoji’ love SPANX madly. I rock the black Skorts on shoots/telly under my dresses, and I have some epic nude ones which go right up to my chest that I wore after having my first child Oliver (and ever since) I adore. They suck me in and make me feel and look 108764593 x more toned (and after 2 c-sections and a #mumtum forevs) I’m endlessly grateful for them.

Now I’m sure you’ve heard of/own a pair of SPANX yourself but have you heard of SPANX Jean’ish Leggings? If not, stop everything right now, and give them your attention.

Made to look like jeans and feel like leggings, these beauties hold you in comfortably and give you a sass pot of a silhouette. The built in Slim-X shaping panel with light whiskering and sanding gives a visually slimming appearance and the jeggings are designed to hit at your natural waist for great coverage and no muffin top! NO MUFFIN TOP. Whoop!

I usually wear a UK 10 in Topshop and the UK 8-10 fit perfectly, the 10-12 were loose (you want them to hold you in too so I’d advise slightly smaller than your usual jeans).

Genius huh?! Now if Spanx could make swimwear and something to make my arms toned, I’ll be the happiest girl on earth!

These beauties retail at £89, come in black, white and denim and are available  from Harrods and online at Luxury Legs.

    I’d love to win as I have a very awkward to dress apple shape and struggle to get jeans to fit. Leggings and jeggings are my faves and these ones have the added benefit of smoothing out some of my lumps and bumps too!

Wow! I did not know this. Research from Yale found Wow! I did not know this. Research from Yale found that pregnancy adds 2 years to your biological age but just 3 months postpartum, that can be reversed by up to 8 years!!! The findings suggest that the intense metabolic and physiological demands of pregnancy act as a temporary stressor on the body, which then recovers, and in some cases, surpasses its previous, younger state. #pregnancy #postpartum #research #study #fyp

My close friend @drjulietmcgrattan writes about th My close friend @drjulietmcgrattan writes about this in her new book!! …Only 3 per cent of those with polycystic ovary syndrome reach perimenopause by the age of 46, which may allow them to conceive when older. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is notorious for disrupting hormones and fertility, but it may have some surprising benefits after the age of 40. Ageing seems to naturally reshape the affected ovaries, often making periods more regular, delaying perimenopause and increasing fertility.

“Over the years, we’ve had so many women with PCOS telling us how they thought they would never be able to get pregnant without ART [assisted reproductive technology] and then they were so surprised because it happened in their 40s,” says Terhi Piltonen at Oulu University Hospital in Finland. “We call these children who they never thought they would have ‘evening stars’.”

Piltonen and her colleagues studied how PCOS influences the menopausal transition using data from 1849 women who were born in Finland in 1966 and had had regular health checks ever since as part of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort study.

Life lately has been… a lot. Between work, the kid Life lately has been… a lot. Between work, the kids, running a business, my TV commitments and generally trying to keep all the plates spinning — I sometimes get to the end of the day and realise I’ve spent all of it looking after everyone else, and doing absolutely nothing when it comes to looking after myself.

And when life gets that hectic, I really notice it. In my energy. In my skin. I’m tired and it shows in my face. 

And the thing is, I’ve been doing some reading into this. 

And it turns out, a huge part of what we’re seeing as we get into our forties — the fine lines, the skin that’s lost a bit of its bounce, the hair that isn’t as thick as it once was— it’s not just tiredness. It’s collagen loss! 

The answer? Elevate! 

And I want to be honest with you, because that’s kind of the whole point of everything I do here. In just 2 months my skin is glowing, my hair is thicker and longer and my nails are stronger. Yay! 
And unlike a lot of what’s out there, it actually contains the right ingredients in doses that are clinically effective — which I think is the difference.

Now @elavatesuperfoods are actually celebrating a massive milestone, because they just hit 15,000 5 star reviews on Trustpilot — and to celebrate, they’re offering an exclusive discount for the next 24 hours only. So if you click the link in my bio today, the discount will automatically be applied on the price. 

So if you’ve been thinking about giving collagen a go, this is your sign!
Your skin, your hair, your nails — they will thank you for it.
Go and try it. And let me know how you get on. ❤️ #skincare #collagen #over40 #beauty #elavate
