Have you been hitting the holiday cookies a little too hard this year? If you’ve still got a LBD (little black dress) to squeeze into this holiday season, don’t worry!

Step one-lay off the cookies, duh!

Step two-suck it in!

Have you ever considered shapewear? It’s nothing short of a miracle. We swear by it here at Bliss HQ. Not a day goes by that someone isn’t raving about how their pushup panty gives their tush a push in the right direction or how their tummy is being trimmed and slimmed with a silhouette-smoothing superhero.

We mortals aren’t the only ones who swear by shapewear. Celebritys are notorious for wearing shapewear. I’m not going to mention any names, but check out this video to learn more about your shapewear options, how they work, and where to get ‘em (psssst! this is a no-brainer: blissworld.com). FYI-there has been such a high demand for the Lytess products since this video that we are out of stock on many items. They will be coming in shortly! In the meantime, check out these other shapewear options! Happy Slimming!

The ‘blissing’ link

“Why another beauty blog?” you ask. There are plenty of beauty blogs, but no ‘spa-thority’ voice on the internet. Bliss is a spa and skincare company. We use our products in our treatments, so we know they work because we use them on hundreds of lovelies like you every day. When you buy a Bliss product you’re bringing home a piece of our spa (sans the expert technician).

‘Bliss’ and Tell

We believe that secrets don’t make friends. We want to ‘bliss’ and tell so you can look ‘spa’-velous everyday from the inside out.

What to expect when the ‘spa-thorities’ get on the soapbox

We’d love to update this blog daily Mon-Fri. If we go ‘bliss’-ing in action, don’t be alarmed-we’re just working on updating our expert ‘spa’-mmentary so you get the full beauty brief. Without further ado, I would love to tell you a little about myself…..

Meet the Author

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Karen Glidden and I’m the web content coordinator for Bliss. I will be the primary author of Bliss n Tell. For all your beautification needs, please refer to blissworld.com

My background is not beauty related at all. I graduated from Boston University and worked at Starbucks for many years climbing their corporate ladder. Pre-Bliss, my idea of a milky cleanser was the residue left on my face after making cappuccinos all day. I’ve been with Bliss for just over a year now and have been converted into a product worshipper. I’m the MacGyver of skincare. I love inventing new uses to beauty products. You’ll find me putting toner on my legs to help with dry skin, wearing my glamour gloves on the subway to smooth my hands, and using skincare in my hair to tame flyaways. Oh, did I mention that I’m totally frugal. Yes, this little Bliss girl is a ‘recessionista’ for sure.

My skin type is normal. I’m not particularly breakout prone unless it’s stress related or hormonal. I’m not too oily, but sometimes dry all over depending on the weather. I’ve got an even skin tone and not too many fine lines, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation. I have some sun damage from years of sun-worshipping sans SPF, my greatest skincare regret in life. My biggest skin concern are fine lines/wrinkles around my eyes and laugh lines around my mouth. Oh, and some uh….cellulite on my bum/thighs. Yes, I am human (you can stop pointing and laughing now, thanks!).

My Favorite Bliss Product: I can’t choose just one. It’s a tie between Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask and A Tan For All Seasons

Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask is my five minute beauty fix for just about everything (breakouts, dull/tired skin, dryness). A Tan For All Seasons is my best friend. It’s a stink-free tan in a can. I cannot live without a sun-kissed glow all year (without the UV damage, of course!)
