Super Seamless – Goodbye VPL!

Last week, I went over to Victoria’s Secret. (Remember? After an unhealthy addiction to La Perla, we re-discovered Victoria’s Secret during these belt-tightening times!) I restocked my lingerie drawer with an assortment of reasonably priced bras and underwear. I found some panties that seemed to be made with one piece of fabric (therefore only one seam total on the backside). I liked! They were pretty, slightly on the delicate side, but there was this awesome shade of lavender that I just had to get. No matching bra, but I figured I could wear them when I work out (with a workout top). Well, I put them on yesterday, and I had to immediately return to VS. More, I said, more, more, more!

27 Days/Nights of December Gift-Giving: Cozy & Warm

The theme of this years gifts – are items high on luxury and beauty but low on cost. VIB’s list for the recession. Women are giving beings. Just because 2009 is a lean year does not mean that we have to hide out, trying not to run into our nearest and dearest. Don’t cut your gift list. Just cut your costs… Here are a few of our favorite things – whiskers on kittens were out of stock this year! As you now know VIB loves fitness, wellness, beauty, luxury, reading and taking care of ones self. Here are some gift ideas that encompass all things Venus.

27 Days/Nights of December Gift-Giving: Bottoms Up!

If there’s one thing I know women are concerned about pretty much across the board, it’s how their butts look… “Do I look fat in these jeans/shorts/skirt/pants?” Have you ever said that out loud? I try never to. It’s a hard question to answer – your poor spouse/partner needs to have all modes of communication spot on perfect – immediate reaction, body language, eye contact, actual words, degree of smile, you know what I mean? – in order to reach the right response. Pressure! In any event, we’ve picked a couple of brands/styles that so many women seem to adore (because they look good in them), so we thought we’d share them with you.

27 Days/Nights of December Gift-Giving: Naughty & Nice!

We spoke about lightening up in marriage. So here are a few choices to really help you lighten up, what you wear, that is… We enjoy giving our children new pajamas on Christmas Eve. I have a tradition that I would like to share with you. Each Christmas Eve, after my son opens his new pajamas and has gone to bed, I give my husband a little box with a big satin ribbon on it and inside it are my new “pajamas.” Everyone gets a gift! Try it. You may be a little chilly at first but I promise you will love this tradition.

The theme of this year’s gifts are items high on luxury and beauty but low on cost. If I am to be truthful I am (was) a lingerie snob. Since this is definitely not a La Perla year, we went shopping and decided to test out some Victoria’s Secret pieces. They have come a long, long way, and we found a few pieces just perfect for this holiday season. Some of them naughty but most are nice!

What’s Your Style?

On our Venus Style page, it’s about finding your individual style. Ultimately, fashion is more about your personal style than it is about trends. It’s about feeling good and maximizing confidence at every curve.

Style – We Just LOVE It!

At VIB, we help you get in balance! When you manage your hormones, your PMS, your sleep and your nutrition, you just make better choices all around – and spend less! So let’s figure out where you can spend more and where you can skimp! And what are the wonderful current pieces that flatter and fit and let YOUR style shine through?

Comfort = Confidence??

I don’t know about you, but when I hear “comfort clothes,” I often think white nurse’s shoes, big baggy jeans soft from overuse, and elastic waist bands. Well, I am not suggesting that you wear any of these as a fashion statement, either together or separately. But let’s think about how comfort figures into confidence.
