Shopping

1. ACCENT: Tried it several times and the results were great at first but not really amazing and for the price and pain (did I mention PAIN?), it’s not the panacea promised in the ads. If you’ve got a mild case, it would probably be good, but for moderate or severe, it helps, but does not eliminate.

2. Bliss Fat Girl Slim: Love the cute name, the creamy texture and the “hope in a jar” feel. However, it does not compare to the following cream (sorry, it’s true for me anway!) and it’s pricey. It’s a great moisturizer (especially the night-time version), but I probably would not re-purchase.

3. Oligo DX Cellulite Reducing Gel: Love it, will keep buying it. I really do see a difference in my cellulite (smoother, more toned, less bumpy) by using this consistently.

4. Celluthin: Great reviews on Amazon.com led me to believe this was IT…the miracle master! Not quite. I used it several times (after dry brushing) and then I wished I’d saved my money and stayed with the one I was seeing results with (the Oligo).

5. Bliss stimilator: Love this little thing! It’s just a white, nubbly rubber disc, but it really helps. I use it in the shower for about a minute on trouble areas and I look smoother all day.

6. Pycnogenol: My new secret weapon. Dr. Murad and others tout antioxidants as the enemy of cellulite. I tried this one and for me, it really helps. I eat a pretty high antiox diet, but adding this supplement a few times a week seems to really work.

7. 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michaels): God, I hate to admit it, but this thing works. She is no sweet little thing: She’ll bust your butt! It’s only 20 minutes but you’ll sweat. I actually enjoy it and really enjoy the results (when I do it consistently). Why does everything have to come down to diet and exercise? Oh well…
