The "Skinny" Solution

Julie, Brittani, & Me
Brittani, all wrapped up and getting soaked in the "skinny" solution

She had to work out for an hour all wrapped up like this...kuddos to you, Brit!

And the results are in...time to get measured!

Well we girls had a really good time in the big Atl. this past weekend. Amongst the activities was a pit-stop by the famous Slender Tone. This is a really neat place that performs all sorts of spa-type procedures but among the most popular are their various slenderizing wraps that have been featured on Tyra Banks, Oprah, Rachel Ray, The View, and many newspapers and news shows throughout the country. These wraps are very famous and they claim that you will loose inches because the solution that they soak you in actually gets absorbed by your body and shrinks your fat cells. Hummm...I've been needing something like this for years! Ha ha.

Brittani decided that she would get the slenderizing wrap procedure done after our friend, Yanna, had it done last year. It turned out good for Yanna, so Brittani decided to give it a go. Julie and I just tagged along for moral support...and to scope out this almost too good to be true procedure. I will say that I was skeptical, but I will also say that the end product was rewarding for Brittani...she lost a total of 13 inches! The inches are guaranteed to stay off for up to three months so long as you don't go and eat McDonald's everyday! There is no special workout regimen that you need to follow either...you just need to be cautious of how many calories that you take in.

The procedure itself takes about two hours (this includes getting wrapped, getting saturated with a special solution, exercising for one hour, and getting all cleaned up). Julie and I had fun watching Brittani get doused in the solution and it was fun seeing her all wrapped up like a mummy, too! Good thing Brittani was our Guinea pig...ha ha. Once Brittani got soaked in the solution, she had to workout for one hour so, Julie and I did some window shopping.

Afterwards, we all headed to a really upscale shopping center to browse and to have lunch at Jason's Deli. During lunch, we were all just talking about the wrap and Julie said the funniest thing to Brittani...she said so very seriously, "You look rough". Brittani and I busted out laughing because it was just too comical. You would have had to be there to understand why this was so funny but I will try to explain it. Here goes...well, first, Brittani wasn't wearing any makeup because you cannot wear makeup when having the wrap done and second, the procedure really relaxes you and sort of makes you look like you just woke up for several hours afterwards. So, Julie did not mean "rough" in a bad way, but rather in just a very tired/wiped out sort of way...but still, it was all too funny!! And Brittani's shocked facial expression said what she thought, "Well, thanks a lot!" Hee Hee Hee! Thanks for a fun trip girls, it was a blast!
