Hey Awesome ones, Heather here. Finally, finally the warmer weather is upon us. And you know
what? It's been such a long past year hasn't it been? But I started looking at some of
my warmer weather clothes and I don't know about you but I gained a few pounds. I've
got to kind of re adjust things and style them up differently hide my little belly here.
You're probably thinking the same thing. Also what about some of those lower neck lines.
Maybe you're thinking to yourself can can I really pull that off or maybe you're just
here because you're wondering what the heck Heather has to show me with these 7 hacks
or tips for styling. But I just want to get right into it with you. Lets start with hack
or tip number one. Alright the white shirt. Please do not wear it like this. I'm not even
going to call this a hack because I've shown this to you before. But basically...I'm just
going to look in the mirror here to make sure I do this right. I'm going to lift up the
cami a little bit here and then what I'm going to do is take both ends, you've seen me do
this before. And just sort of tie a knot in the front and that's going to hide my tummy
a little bit. It's also going to bring me a little shape here. There we go. And then
just tuck the rest kind of around. Now what about the sleeves? This is a hack for you.
A lot of you are just kind of rolling up your sleeves you know kind of nambi pambi and that's
it. Well I'm going to show you a little hack here. All you have to do is roll them up to
your ank...er elbows. I almost said your elbows... er ankles...ugh. Anyways and then were going
to roll them up again can you see how much neater that is? And also there isn't a chance
for it to be falling down all the time. And it's just a little hack there. Now the other
hack that I wanted to show you, I don't know about you but if I wear a white cotton shirt
in the summer I'm usuallly going to be way to hot. So do you notice that this material
it's a sheer material. And I don't really like to show my arms a lot, you know the bare
arms. So a lot of times...this is going to help you with the SPF as well, I like to wear
something a little more sheer like this top and I just have a camisole underneath it.
So if you're going to get yourself a white top...yes I'm going to have links for this
underneath. Get yourself one that's a little bit more breathable, something like this one.
Oh and by the way I've got a bonus hack for you. Let me just reach it over here. It's
wearing a cami under a low neck top. So do you remember...did you use to...this is really
sheer material... and did you use to safety pin all the time so you wouldn't have one
of those exposes or whatever. Well you know what, don't do that anymore because with material
like this you're bound to really wreck it. So what I do is I just...I got my microphone
on here, but underneath I've got a comisole. So if it does go a little lower than I want
to I've got the camisole to protect me. So and oh by the way I'm going to have links
below for you on a lot of the camisoles I'm talking about, the shirts, all the rest of
the hacks most of them I'm going to have for you. All you have to do is look below and
I'll have the links there for you. But next thing I want to talk about which happens a
lot in the summer time is stinky feet. Alright running shoes...running shoes are so popular
right now. We've all got to get our running shoes but if you're walking around in running
shoes with no socks, after a little while they're going to be totally yuk. So what you're
going to see in here is I have the Dr. Scholl's inserts. And I'll talk about those in just
a second. A lot of you are probably thinking well I don't want to use those I want to use
the little a sockettes. You know the little socketts like these ones here. Well I don't
know about you but everytime I put...I got big feet I guess, but everytime I put these
on they slip off my toes and I have to stop every few minutes and just say...wait up Bill.
I've got to adjust my feet and my sockettes. To me that's no good. So what I would suggest
you do if you've got that problem like I do is just put in the little Dr. Scholl's inserts
and I'm going to show you what I got. They're like this and basically you just, there is
a sizing for them. You just cut around whether you're a size 8 or 10 like me or even 6 and
then they just fit into your shoes. It's a lot cheaper than buying new shoes because
your old shoes are stinky. And also they also have them in a sport. Dr. Scholl's also has
them in sport. Which is good little odor eaters. And they also have gels in them. And also...excuse
me for stretchy all this time but I just bought this new pair of shoes and again I tried these
out, total fail. But for shoes, brand new shoes like these nice flats you can put the
Dr. Scholl's in them. Nobody will ever know you're wearing the Dr. Scholl's inserts. And
they also give a little bit more comfort to the bottom of the shoe as well especially
with these flat shoes when we're walking on cement and all that sort of thing, but I just
find that they're a wonderful hack and all of my shoes that I wear with bare feet they're
getting them in them and I don't have to buy as many shoes. And while we're talking about
shoes lets talk about the agony of defeat. Do you remember that commerical? Anyways ok
I gotta talk about those sneakers that I just bought. I wore them the other day and I thought
to myself they're sneakers, I'm not going to get any blisters. Well my feet have never
hurt so bad and I had so many blisters. I had blisters on top of my big toe of course
I had the ankle blisters and I didn't even use my favourite hack and that is wear the
bandaides before you wear the shoes. And it's so great because there is nothing worse than
wearing a pair of shoes and then like an hour into where ever you're going you can just
barely walk. So lets take a look at some of the bandages that I have. First of all you
can buy them in these little circles. These ones happen to be latex free too. And those
are great for just you know on back on the ankles always rubbing there...so above your
big toe where it seems to be bad. I'll just show you a pair of shoes hear as everything
falls down. Where I really got a bad blister was right here. So that's another place you
might want to go ahead and put a bandage. Now the other thing about this assorted package
I have here is inside it is a bandage. I don't know if you can see this but I'll try to show
it to you with my hand. Can you see that ok? It's clear on all these sides here. So this
is a great bandage as it sticks to me, but this is a great bandage to wear when you're
wearing a new pair of flip flops or a new pair of sandals that are like flip flops.
You know between the big toe and the second toe how just like that kills you. Well with
this bandage you won't be able to tell you have it on because it's invisible on some
of the sides. It'll really help you from again the agony of the feet. Alright so another
thing lets talk about high heals because I'm talking about sneakers and low no heal shoes
but for high heals one of the things I have a problem with is the pain that I get with
the ball of the foot. And what these are are little just little inserts that you put in
at the front of the shoe. Basically you're putting them right around here in the top
of the shoe. And then when you're...lets say you're walking on cement as your foot is just
moving down it's got a nice little gel pad there and that really helps as well. So I
have links for these underneath but also most drug stores have got a whole section to help
you with your feet. So I've talked earlier how I've gained a little bit of weight in
my tummy and I've been styling up my clothes and I thought I'd share that with you because
for my fourth hack I have a little bit of styling to hide your tummy and the way it
actually creates some ruching. So lets take a look. Alright for this hack I have an oversized
white tee and I tied the knot in front like I like but i don't know. Maybe it's just to
much going on with the know and everything. So let me just show you another hack here
and you can see how just wearing the t-shirt like this it's got no shape. It doesn't do
anything for me if I hopefully can do this I'm actually going to tie going to do a little
bit of ruching here. I'm actually going to tie a knot...in the back and it's just a little
knot that I'm going to tie here. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to tuck it into
the top of my jeans. So there we go. Alright so know what I've created some very beautiful
ruching. And doesn't that look nice with this? So for my next hack you know how much I love
my stretchy pull on high waisted jeans from Lee. Again I'll have the link below. But what
a lot of you have been telling me is that the more you pull on your jeans the wider
it gets in the waist. I really haven't found a problem with my pants getting really really
loose. But I want to address it because if it's a real problem I gotta have a hack or
a fix for it. This is hack number 6. And all I do is get a thinner stretchy belt you know
how much I love my stretchy belts. And excuse me I'm going to show my shapewear a little
bit here. But there's the high waist band that you have and all I'm going to do is to
put a stretchy belt a thinner one this time just around like this. Do it as tight as I
want. And then if I want to if I don't want to show the belt if it's actually showing
there I can pull it around to the back. We could really easily do that. Now I've got
the extra kind of tightening here and yet...dat dat daaa...you can't even tell that I'm wearing
the belt. And I also...I got these from Amazon as well. I love the white pants again with
the higher pull on waistband. There is no fly there's no bulk. And all you need for
this one is a white stretchy belt. So lets talk about swimwear for the next styling hack.
And I know. You're saying to yourself I can just fast forward pass this one. But you know
you might be saying to yourself I don't want to wear a swimsuit anymore. But I'm saying
that your just, you're missing out on so much. You've got maybe another forty plus years
and you're not going to go swimming anymore? You're not going to go to that pool party
and you're not going to go up to that friends cottage? I'm just saying that's wrong. There's
so much body shamming out there and I know I hear it and I use to be a model I was a
skinny model and I was belimic so that's not a place I want to be anymore. And ya I'm talking
about hiding our tummies but that 's just to give you confidence. I really think you
should go swimming again you should start enjoying that and the next hack is going to
help you out. so here you go I've got this cute little dress and underneath is my two
piece bathing suit. Those are the straps for the two piece bathing suit. Now lets just
say that you're at a pool party you've got your towel over there your beach towel and
you also have a little dress like this. And this is just a pull-on dress. So what you
do is you get out of the water you towel off a little bit and you just put this on. And
you're ready to keep on mingling and enjoying the rest of the party. Now this kind of dress
it comes in all different kinds of colors. And it's also great if you want to go travelling
and you want to pack super super light because this little dress act as your cover-up but
also it acts as a dress to go out at night. And what you can do is I got another little
bonus hack here is I just I don't know if you can see that but I just have safety pins
for those evening where I'm going out after a day at the beach. Just to keep it up keep
it in place and even at that party you can run off to the washroom and do that if you
want. But don't stop swimming. Here's a great help to help you go to the pool and the cottages.
So lets talk for a moment in this wonderful community that we have here about confidence.
I don't know about you, let me know in the comments, but the older I get the less I care
about what other people think. And hey if you're just deciding I want to do a big face
tattoo it may not be the right thing to do but if you decide to wear a two piece bathing
suit and go swimming, well go for it. If you want to grow out your silver hair and you
want to wear it long, I say go for that and I think its just so important. And you know
what? Here's a picture of me with that two piece swim suit on. And I just gotta tell
you I felt good. I feel just happy to be swimming and my husband likes it too. Anyway you know
it's all about...I'm just hoping that I'm helping you here. I'm just...let me know in
the comments if maybe if you're going to try going swimming this year and maybe you are
going to say yes to some of the cottages. Because it's all about just feeling good.
