 Taylor Swift does it, Marilyn and Liz did it and you should too!

Sexy red lips are timeless and sexy, find the right shade for you and release your inner sex kitten!

• Start with Mac Prep + Prime over the entire lip.
• Line lips with YSL Lip Line #10
• Using a lipstick brush, apply YSL in the colour that suits you best, I love YSL Rouge Pur Couture in #1 Le Rouge - blood red  and #19 Fuchsia 
• Line lips a second time - you shouldn't see the line - blend into the lips with a brush if needed
• If you want a little more "POW" reapply lipstick  one more time using the lip brush or directly from the tube

Taylor Swift even sings about her red lips “You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye. And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like.” —“Style"

You know you have a unique invention.  You've created a prototype and you wonder, should I bother with a patent?  The answer is yes.  Here are 5 simple steps to patenting your product.

1. Do your homework, research the CIPO and USPTO sites to ensure your product is unique

2. If you can't afford to hire an attorney, you can do it yourself.  (I did...it takes time and dedication, but you can do it!)

3. Don't let anyone but your "circle of trust" know about your invention.

4. Find a mentor who has done this before and don't be afraid to ask for advice. Most people are happy to help out, they've been there before and know how you feel.

5. Once you have filed your paperwork, be sure to pay your fees and respond to all correspondence with CIPO and USPTO on time.

Anytime you need assistance, contact the patent office they are super helpful and from my experience very pleasant too!

Good Luck, you'll be happy you took the first step to patenting your invention!

What you wear under that dress can make or break your look.  Bumps and bulges or pantyline...nobody wants to see a photo of themselves at an important event and wonder, why didn't someone tell me you could see my bra strap or pantyline?

Whether you're off to the  office or out for a night on the town, wearing the right underpinning is key!

Why not try shopping and ordering your Shapewear and bra online?   You can peruse the internet in search for the perfect underthings.  It's super fun when the parcel arrives at your door!  Best of all...you try it on in the privacy of your own home, in lighting that makes you look good and in a mirror of your choosing.  If you've already got the outfit and are looking for the right underpinning, you have it there...right down to the shoes!

Grab your tablet, phone or computer and shop till your hearts content!

Just a bit too much cleavage for business or family function.

Add a 9to5 Cami Bra and voila! Perfection!!

Tis the season to dress up and head out to the family (or office) festive party or after-work dinner – and everyone needs a game changer to, well…change things up! Hmm....what to wear? We all have that “outfit” that’s not quite right for a family party or post-work office function, but you love it! Well love it enough to wear it with the confidence it deserves! You can totally wear and rock that outfit with one simple addition (hint: it’s not jewelryJ).

While recently browsing my own wardrobe I had a dilemma of my own, then I found the answer. My passion for my 9to5 Cami Bra was re-ignited! Black angora sweater dress, too low for a family function, DVF wrap dress...also too revealing, cream blouse...too much cleavage. Here I am, many years after creating the 9to5 Cami Bra and it’s still a game changer for my wardrobe.

If I didn’t have my 9to5 Cami Bra, I would have had a serious fashion conundrum! Armed with my 9to5 Cami Bra and Cami Shape I was self-assured that I could wear anything in my closet and know that I'm dressed appropriately for my family gathering!

Don’t be afraid to try mixing the 9to5 Cami Bra and/or shaper into your existing apparel selection. Buy one in each color, put on some lipstick and feel totally confident that nothing is where it shouldn’t be.

P.S.

You can throw a jacket or blouse on the next day (with the other color) and totally pull together a great office look. It’s the gift (to yourself) that keeps on giving.
