LOOKING GOOD

Battle the bulge

July 28, 2007

BY CARI VAUGHN

Here are four quick fixes to look slimmer without stepping into the gym.

Wear

• Give your thighs and buttocks a boost by sporting MBTs Physiological Footwear. These taller sneaks cushion feet, challenge lower extremities and reduce stress on knee and hip joints. To boot, they improve posture. They can be resoled. $245 at six area Foot Solutions locations. Check www.footsolutions.com.

• Tone with FitFlops. They're designed to trim thighs, calves and gluts via a multi-density sole. $45 at www.blissworld.com.

Sleep

L'Or?al's latest Sublime Slim products are designed to firm your body while it is at rest, when cell renewal occurs. Try Sublime Slim Night to reduce an overall fatty orange peel look. Try the Sublime Slim Patches if you have specific areas that need extensive help. For optimal results, the patch needs to stay put for a solid eight hours. Find L'Or?al's Sublime line at area drug and mass merchant stores.

Drink

Try Borba's skin balance firming water. With yerba mate and green tea extracts, the fluid increases cell metabolism to reduce stored fat, leading to smoother skin appearance. With no calories, no carbohydrates, no sodium and no aspartame, one bottle in the morning and another in the evening are recommended. $2.50 per bottle or opt for the one week supply at $35. Available at www.sephora.com.

Slather

Whittle your waist and tone your tummy with Bliss's new Love Handler gel. Thanks to caffeine and cooling mint oil, you'll see less abdominal bloating and cellulite. $36 at Nordstrom, 2850 W. Big Beaver Road, Troy, 248.816.5100.
