Bikini vs. One Piece: A Seasonal Stress
With bikini season right around the corner, many of you are scrambling to the gym, trying to eat better and getting ready to step out on the beach right?
But this year it seems as though the one piece is making more of an comeback than in recent years. Even though the bikini seems to dominate stores in the US, according to a new survey done by Couponcodes4u.com, most women prefer a one piece.
Is this a fashion choice or a result of the weight issue in our country? The survey suggests that 57% of women chose a one piece because it was more appropriate for their body shape, while 9% that chose it because they liked the style.
No matter which suit you prefer, bathing suit shopping can be a stressful process. A five things I suggest to reduce it:
- Slather on the self tanner- everyone looks better than, especially in those dressing room mirrors.
- Wait until you feel confident -do your cardio the entire week before you go to boost your confidence.
- Groom your lady parts – whether you wax or shave, you will look better, lighter and more confident trying on those suits.
- Do it before lunch – don’t eat a big meal and then shop for a bathing suit. That post meal pooch will be a confidence crusher.
- Bring a friend – a second opinion is always a good idea. Make sure she’s a truth teller!
