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!

10 years on and it will have no doubt doubled! A 2 10 years on and it will have no doubt doubled! A 2016 study by Sainsbury’s Bank suggested that it is indeed more expensive to raise a girl than a boy. The report, based on a survey of over 2,000 parents, found that parents spent several hundred pounds more annually on daughters from birth through to their teenage years. 
Key Findings from the 2016 Report
Ages 0-5: Raising a girl cost around £300 a year more than a boy.
Ages 6-13: The cost difference increased to approximately £400 a year more for girls.
Ages 14-18: The gap nearly doubled during the teenage years, with parents spending almost £600 a year more on daughters than sons. 
Reasons for the Cost Difference
The primary driver identified in the research was clothing. 
Girls’ apparel tended to be more expensive than boys’.
As girls got older, they developed an interest in accessories like shoes, hats, and bags, which further increased expenses. 
Other studies have echoed these findings, noting that the costs for essentials like food and transport were largely the same, but fashion and personal care items widened the spending gap. #girl #research #data #didyouknow #fyp
Why is life so exhausting?! #memes #relstable #mot Why is life so exhausting?! #memes #relstable #motherhood #juggling #viral Reminder of what we’re up against as moms: Societal Expectations & The “Ideal Mother” Myth: A major contributor to maternal overwhelm is the pressure from the “intensive mothering” ideology, which suggests mothers should dedicate all their time and energy to their children and be constantly “on”. This unattainable ideal leads to feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and self-pressure.
The Mental Load: Mothers disproportionately carry the “mental load,” which includes the invisible work of anticipating needs, planning, and making decisions for the family, in addition to physical and emotional labor. This is often unacknowledged and can be a significant source of chronic stress and decision fatigue.
Lack of Support and Isolation: Compared to previous generations or hunter-gatherer societies where child-rearing was a communal effort, modern mothers often raise children in isolation, far from extended family support networks. This lack of a “village” exacerbates feelings of loneliness and makes it harder to cope with demands.
Work-Family Conflict: Working mothers, in particular, face challenges balancing career demands with family needs, often resulting in “double shifts” (paid work followed by unpaid domestic and care work). The high cost and lack of affordable, flexible childcare options force many to sacrifice their careers.
Physical and Emotional Exhaustion: The chronic stress and sleep deprivation can lead to physical symptoms (headaches, pain) and emotional issues, including irritability, mood swings, emotional distancing from children, and even thoughts of escape or self-harm in severe burnout cases.
Advice Overwhelm: New mothers, in particular, report increased stress from an overload of often contradictory advice from friends, family, and social media influencers, making them doubt their own parenting abilities.
