SHOPPING TIPS – how the pro’s do it!
The great myth about shopping is that ALL women love it! This is for the most part, completely untrue! Yes there are the 5% of wealthy skinny bitches who can think of nothing better than hitting the shops for a nua guna deasa! But most women hate shopping for themselves.
What MOST women love shopping for is food or gifts, also on the list of things most women love shopping for is shoes and handbag! The reason being you can’t really lose or gain weight on your wrist or ankles!
MOST WOMEN FIND SHOPPING FOR THEMSELVES VERY STRESSFUL
And that is why people like me have the job that I have! I am here to take the pain out of dressing rooms and put the fun into shop floor…so here is my quick guide to getting the best from your shopping experience.
1. Be honest about your size.
This is the most difficult part. But accept your size right now and start here, waiting till you get down to a 12 or 14 is setting yourself up for a fall and you will just stay in you big baggy clothes or your safety black or worse still your track suit!
2. Diagnose you body shape.

Hourglass: your hips and shoulders are equidistant
