the beauty beat

let me just come out and say it, ladies...cellulite sucks...real bad. i originally bought this book at a used bookstore in san francisco for an illustration project. but recently i've been feeling like taking care of my body (go figure) and so i took a more serious look at cellulite: those lumps, bumps and bulges you couldn't lose before. now i am a proud nicole ronsard follower.

why wouldn't i take the advice of a gorgeous french woman?

the diet is pretty strict. i think it's funny that snails and caviar are among the "must be strictly avoided" list. what would i do without my daily caviar break? damn it. sure this book is a little out of date, but there are great simple exercises and even some general yoga poses.

(i should really invest in a cute leotard)

the illustrations are cute & charming and very informative

...but they do make me giggle.

...especially this one. ummm...really?! what?
