THE BENEFITS OF ELASTIC WAIST BELTS

by: MisS VictoriA DaviD

 

They are not just an accessory and I have several of them in different designs as well as in sizes. Yes, in different sizes...hmmmm! Don't be too lewd my dear as they are just elastic waist belts.

I love wearing dresses more than jeans and heels more than flats. How about you, my dear bellissima?

I have a variety of belts and most of them are the stretchy ones. This type of belt is normally worn by women which will encircle the waist and cinch the outfit together. In the old days, women used a waist cincher/nipper to contour the waist and tummy. It gives a chic shaping effects worn beneath a tight long silky gown.

Techinically, the stretchy material of waist belts countours to your specific body type while the metal buckles provide a freely secure fit. Aside from that, the elasticity of the belts offers you instant body slimming confidence as the flexibility smoothens and shapens your physical structure.

Personally speaking, the use of an elastic waist belt is to accentuate, add definition and break a plain style of a dress. That is why, it gives an ultimate finishing touch before you will hit the town with your glamorous, regal dress. Yes, I have been using elastic waist belts for those reasons. They also act as a corset or waist cincher but are visible from the outside. So, don't waste your time and collect as many elastic waist belts as possible if you would like to maintain the curvaceousness of your body like myself.

Practically speaking, if you can't find the right length of belt for yourself, maybe you are quite slim, then don't worry as there is a convenient procedure on how to make it shorter or tighter. Yes, tighter but still able to make you breathe!

THE D.I.Y (DO-IT-YOURSELF) Procedure

1. Measure the waist of your body and measure the entire length of the waist belt.
2. If you have a fixed idea (inches) of the length you would like to omit, just find the centre of the whole length of the waist belt.
3. Mark it with a straight line and then, fold it inwardly. Then sew it carefully with matching thread (by hand or machine).
4. After securely sewing it, don't cut the excess material and just need to compress it.
5. When it has been equally flattened, sew it carefully on both edges (up & down) of the elastic material of the waist belt.
6. Voila, your personalised elastic waist belt is now ready to use with the help of your delicate hands.

Making yourself beautiful and maintaining the curvaceousness of your body don't necessarily mean going for expensive medical treatments or taking easy to access pills. On the contrary, there are natural techniques/approaches which only need your patience, dedication and a creative mind.

SAY CAMEMBERT!

When I was growing-up, I thought cheese had one shape and taste only. What a foolish child I was to have assumed that milk-based food products like cheese did not have wide-ranging flavours, textures, and forms too. This was during my school years or before the internet was launched in the world. Sad to say, my intuition really misguided me so much!

For the past weeks, I have been trying to regain my sexy weight as I added 5 klgs. or so after eating too much last Christmas and New Year's Eve. I was not just enjoying but also indulging myself, it was a case of 'eat as much as you can'.

I tried hard to get my weight back or even to lose a few klgs. of that chubbiness. It wasn't that difficult to lose weight but delicious meals are very tempting and hard to avoid. So, instead of gaining more weight or starve myself to death I decided to accustom myself to only eat at lunchtimes with fibre rich fruits like apples, bananas, oranges and pears. My fruit diet helped a lot and as a matter of fact, I just regained my weight without experiencing nausea etc.

Last week, I put on hold for awhile my fruit-diet regime and try buns with slices of Camembert cheese. I thought I would have it for a few days only, but my new luncheon is more than a week old now! Perhaps the soft and flavoursome spiced buns with juicy orange soaked sultanas and raisins as well as the scrumptious full fat soft cheese made from pasteurised cow's milk were the reasons why my choosy taste buds are so delighted.

My fruit-diet and my new luncheon have huge differences, in particular, health benefits. Bu on the other hand, I have found and tasted the cheese I prefer most while I'm on Earth.

It may be fattening as they say but I know it won't affect me as I can control the amount I eat. Hmmmmmmmm...I'm a little 'devil' sometimes.
