BARE NECESSITIES

♫♫♫ Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life ♫♫♫

Round is a shape & it's a shape that I love too. Got no Coca-Cola body, but with my kind of confidence, I know I'll get a nod. We will have assets if we keep our asses moving & liabilities if we stop thinking of ways on how to improve our self-confidence. So come on, I'll show you the perfect way to dare to bare wherever we are. And the first step is to make sure the our bare necessities is always reliable & in the best shape possible!

Online shopping has been our best bet right now. However, we worry about how'd we look in an outfit we weren't able to fit due to the pandemic. Thank God I've discovered shapewears, body shapers & booty sculptors to make sure I'll never be caught in a fashion disaster. No need to worry now how tight your top, pants & skirt is as you'll smoothly fit in it. Just wear your bodysuit & you'll never have to worry about front & back bulges anymore. With DuraFits shapewears, it always fits!

So how am I able to wear this tight body hugging bandeau tube dress you may ask?Simple! I wore my favorite Lycra High Waist Tummy Control Booty Sculptor to look instantly flawless & AHHHH-mazing! Now, I've got nothing to hide & my great figure to show.  I've got my instant tummy tuck & trimmed thighs alright! What an illusion, a lovely dream to be in the best shape ever.

Check out where I got my closet filled with Durafits full body shaper life savers no matter how tight my outfit is. Now, there's no need for cover ups & cardigans anymore as there are no visible panty lines nor bulging fats here & there. Believe it or not, this dress looks 10x better on me because of my body shaper. Yes, I've got no problemo now & it's all thanks to my favorite online shopping store for shapewears, shorts, bodysuits & panties---Durafits. Now, you know my secret to looking fab in any OOTD I flaunt.

The Lycra shapewear is made of synthetic elastane fiber that can amazingly stretch 6x of its length. This assures me that the shapewear is of good quality and can stand the test of time. I can even wear it when I get pregnant & even when I've got a postpartum body. Best of all, it returns to its original state so you can use it again and again no matter what shape or state you are in. I also love the silicon strip as it guarantees a stay-put fit whatever I do & wherever I go. Feels like I'm not wearing any shapewear as it's so soft, smooth, "light as tights" & blends with my body movements. So cool!

The Holiday Season is here & of course we want to dress to impress! Yes, it's time to paint the town red alright with my favorite sexy back lace dress. You've guessed it right. DuraFits Shaper Shorts gave me this oh-so-sexy & seductive look. Finally, I'm closer to my Red Carpet dream as I've confidently worn my statement piece flawlessly without hesitations & irritations on lines & bulges.

Since my outfit is very revealing with its sexy back appeal, I had to wear my Seamless Above Knee Shaping Shorts from DuraFits as it had to be as nude as possible so I can wear my low back dress without my inners & lingerie seen. I just love how my look sizzles--conservative front & party at the back. Just dare to bare & you'll catch people stare. A little bit of skin goes a long way when done the right way. Femme Fatale.

The shaper shorts is so seamless & comfortable to wear that I can even wear it while sleeping. This is a thigh shaper with an attached bodice that cinches your waist instantly. With this garment and inner wear alone, your physique will dramatically improve & you'll say: 'Damn, I look better. Why didn't I wear a shaper shorts before?!" Yes, this will conceal irritating panty lines too.

Time to put some blush on 'cause I know I can turn you 'On'. Yes, I'm always ready to go when I know I'm in a good shape. Shapewear has been revolutionary to a woman's world as the slimming & stretchy undergarments helped us go a dress size down. I just love the push-up & toner effect. You'll definitely be flattered with the effect. So if you need a guide in determining the best type of shapewear to get, check out this Shapewear Guide by Marla Singer.

So for my 'Blush On' Look above, I sported my Sculpting Short-Mid Thigh Shapewear so I can boast of a leaner physique. This gives me an automatic butt lift and a smaller thigh effect. I love this Barbie look on me. The fabric is so breathable even if there is double layer on the abdomen area. DuraFits did a good job for the seamless construction of this everyday wear. It definitely helped compress my stomach, hip & thigh fats.

Oh, I'm just a 5'1 petite girl, but I do look taller and thinner with my heels & shapewear right?! Hopefully, I've made a bold & stylish statement for you to try out DuraFits shapewear too. Trust me, dressing up has never been this effortless and a size smaller. Make your grand entrance a walk to remember! Be scene-zoned & not seen-zoned.

If you love my OOTDs, blame it on the shapewear I wear because it makes me look so much more attractive. Don't worry shapewears, like sexy lingerie, are great investments because it gives us a confidence boost that no one else can when it comes the outfit you need, want & insist to wear. No outfit is tight enough where a shapewear can't do a magic trick & come to the rescue.

Love at First Sushi Bite with The Good Palate!

You're the one for me,

 You're my ecstasy,

You're the one I need

Get down, get down,

 And stop singing now,

As the sushi bake I ordered is here now!

        

This is not a sponsored post nor am I asked to write about The Good Palate. I just wanted to share my mouthwatering & AHHH-mazingly delicious Sushi Bake Aburi experience.

To keep me sane during this pandemic, I turn on Food Panda & Grab deliveries alike to satisfy my cravings. Of course, I'm also open to discovering new home cooks & home bakers as every dish is made with love & dedication too. For me, a taste of good food always convinces me that life can still be flavorful & delicious. It keeps my mood in check alright! So I decided to indulge on The Good Palate's Yakiniku Wagyu Beef Cubes in Uni Truffle Cream 'cause I miss Japan's succulent wagyu beef & uni. I crazily miss eating sushi & sashimi, but the pandemic has restricted me to as sanitation is very critical right now. So the best & safest bet I can get close to eating sushi is Sushi Bake Aburi! And lo & behold, I wasn't disappointed when I ordered from The Good Palate. Cravings satisfied. 100%!

Look at how generous the Uni & Truffle are. The creamy consistency of the Uni Truffle Cream is purely addicting and I can say that I can taste the real thing. I just love the fusion & burst of flavors popping in my mouth. It's a taste that I want to linger on in my mouth forever. As every bite was very rich, hearty & filling, my heart & tummy was in content. I couldn't ask for more, It was just a taste of satisfaction indeed. The wagyu was perfectly cooked---juicy, rich & tender! And the Japanese rice is fragrant & perfectly sticky just the way it had to be. Every bite makes me fall in love with the maker of this dish as the entree is a masterpiece in itself. It's definitely a must try especially for those who love Sushi Bakes & Aburis.

The tray I ordered was a large size (8×8) and it costed Php1600 which came with 3 Nori. You may think it looks small, but trust me, it's very rich, hearty & flavorful that you'll end up seeing a smile on your face once your cravings for good food have been satisfied. This is good enough for 3-4pax depending on your appetite level and if this is to be served for lunch or just for snack.

Some other Sushi Bake delights by the Good Palate that I'd love to try too are the following:

I hope my post made you a little bit hungry as I'm craving for another type of Sushi Bake Aburi dish right now as I write this. Hmm...Baked Wagyu with Beef Strip Mushroom Gratin or the Truffle Scallop Aburi will definitely be next in my list. Now, there's no need to fly to Japan just to get a decent Wagyu & Sushi quick fix as The Good Palate is already just a call away. Oh, it's Love at First Sushi Bite with the Good Palate.
