3 Steps to Resiliency in the Face of Adversity

Have you ever felt like giving up? We have. Everyone has.

Sometimes we feel we’re not in the place we want to be in life, or our heart’s been broken, or we didn’t get the job we wanted. And so we start to feel down, frustrated, resentful, or like we’re not enough.

It’s normal to feel this way. It’s human.

But the secret to a better life lies in not staying in that place.

Of course it’s not always easy, right? If it were easy, we’d feel down for 3 seconds then we’d be back up again. And God knows some of us have been with a little gray cloud over our head for days or even weeks at a time.

So, how do you bounce back?
How do you stand back up, roll up your sleeves, look straight ahead and start marching again?

Shavon Moses, a Shapermint Gal, nicely summarizes what we should do in the face of adversity.

Meet Jenny: Staying Body Positive In the Face of Size Discrimination

We spend hours of our days scrolling through images of what women’s bodies are (according to ads for weight loss products and exercise programs) ‘supposed’ to look like. These messages have a deep impact upon the way we see ourselves and the way the world treats us--especially if our bodies don’t match those of most Instagram models.

Shapermint Gal Jenny knows first-hand how society sometimes dismisses, ignores and rejects people for not being skinny.

One time she went for an audition at a cycling studio, and found herself surrounded by people of all shapes and sizes. But, she says “I was one of the bigger people in the room.”

When it was time for her audition, Jenny kept pace with the other cyclers, but she could tell her size made a negative impression.

“I could have cycled with the best of them, and I was cycling just as good as they were, but I knew it was my body that led them to not pick me,” Jenny says.

When she got the news that she hadn’t been chosen for the commercial, they told her she wasn’t the right “look” they were going for.

“You get the undertone,” Jenny says. “You get what that means. It means they were going to pick the thinner version of what we want people to see. So yeah, that was upsetting. Because you say to yourself, ‘Oh my gosh, I really wanted that.’”

It can be a tough hill to climb, knowing that your best isn’t good enough simply because people are judging your body. But Jenny has learned how to keep going, despite the haters.

“Feeling pretty doesn't mean how you look on the outside,” Jenny says. “I think it also means how you are on the inside. And I love my personality. My friends love my personality. I love that I'm able to laugh and I love that I'm able to have a good time.”

Watch Jenny’s short video to see how she overcomes the size discrimination perpetuated by the beauty industry.

Remembering to Take Care of You Through Motherhood

When you’re a new mom, you can forget about yourself. Every waking moment, you are focused on one thing: keeping a tiny human being alive and happy. Everything else––even your own well-being––seems like an afterthought.

And then the negativity spiral kicks in: toxic messages we’ve learned from social media, magazines, and TV about our appearance and our abilities can creep in, making us feel trapped, alone or defeated. We feel guilty for gaining weight or being too tired to exercise. We worry about keeping up with our careers while being the parents our kids need.

Shapermint Gal Schanita knows your pain. When she gave birth to her first child, it was just her and her baby.

“My husband actually didn't come to the states until five months after my son was born.” Schanita told us. “So it was all mommy. I got two-minute showers squeezed in every day. And with breastfeeding being a 24 hour job, it was just like...hair, skin, everything, me..out the window.”

When she looked in the mirror, the negative messages she had learned from well-meaning but critical teachers and parents told her she wasn’t doing enough.

“Reprimanding yourself...keeps you from moving forward,” she says. “Because it's taking the headspace that you need to dedicate to actually moving forward.”

How to feel pretty while standing up to toxic beauty standards

Do you ever find yourself watching some sort of beauty commercial and all of sudden end up comparing yourself? It’s normal, and it happens to more women than you think - including us!

These commercials inject an idealistic view of beauty, so much so that when watching these commercials sometimes we think whether we’re fit, smart, or happy enough. They make us much more aware of a “perfection” that doesn’t actually exist.

And today, Shapermint Gal Lesley shares with us how she’s naturally more aware of her appearance because of constant exposure to ads, and how she deals with it.

A Thank You to Our Veterans

The whole country is uniting to honor our veterans. These brave souls have dedicated a portion of their life to serve their country and immense sacrifices for their families. A simple “thank you” can make each veteran feel seen. At Shapermint, we’re committed to spreading love, especially for our powerful ladies!

That’s why we’re here shining a spotlight.

Women Making a Difference

Women have been making a difference in the US military since before the 19th century. During the revolutionary war, women had to disguise themselves as men to serve.

The most famous case is Deborah Sampson, who was discovered to be a woman after she was wounded for the third time. Her acts of valor made a difference for Dr. Mary Walker, who didn’t have to disguise herself to serve. She became the first woman to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for casualty care she provided to civil war soldiers.

If it weren’t for Deborah Sampson and other women like her, Dr. Mary Walker wouldn’t have served and written a legislation that created a permanent nurse corps. This made a difference to more than 33,000 Army and Navy nurses who saved countless lives during World War I.

Today, there are over 2 million female veterans serving in the United States and Puerto Rico. 

We know female veterans are proud to hold that title! They're making a difference in more lives than we can imagine - and we say thank you.

If you know a veteran, show your gratitude and appreciation. They’ve gone through immense sacrifice, commitment and dedication to serve us and our country.

Our veterans have earned the respect, the recognition, and honor for their strength, tenacity, and resilience. Let’s celebrate them!

What Can You Do to Honor Veterans?

We strive to support our women, in all of their roles through life, and being a veteran is no different. Below are some ways to support our ladies, honoring them as the powerhouses they are.

1. Volunteer: Some female based organizations that accept volunteers include:

• Grace After Fire
• Foundation for Women Warriors
• Operation Reinvent
• Service Women’s Action Network
• She Served

2. Use your skills: Think about a way you can honor a vet. Are you an attorney? Offer your services pro bono. Are you a great cook? Volunteer to whip up some dishes for people who served and could use a home cooked meal. 

3. Donate: We can help our veterans by supporting charities and organizations that not only support them while they’re in active duty, but also help them transition smoothly back into a civilian life. In fact, this is the way we have chosen to support our female veterans and their families.

As a thank you, we’re slashing our prices up to 50% OFF and for every product purchased on Shapermint.com from November, 8th to November 12th, 2018 we will donate a portion of our proceeds to support our veterans.

There are many ways to honor them, it all starts with a feeling of gratitude and a simple, “Thank You”.

Empower Yourself and Follow Your Dreams––Without Apology

Everywhere women look ––on TV, in ads, in social media––there are reminders of how far we are from achieving perfection.

As women, we’ve been taught that the only way we’ll succeed or be happy in a perfection-obsessed world is to play the roles assigned to us, and give Oscar-worthy performances. We’re told not to make waves--to please others by looking the way they want us to look and act the way they want us to act.

• Be smart, but not so smart you’ll intimidate people. 
• Be athletic, but don’t get too muscular.
• Lose weight, but don’t obsess over your diet. 
• Negotiate for better pay, but don’t be too assertive. 

Is it any surprise many of us go through the world second-guessing our every move? 
We’re so worried about the disapproval of others that we dim ourselves when we’re meant to shine. 

To heck with that!!!
Lady, your life doesn’t belong to anyone other than you. You’re the one calling the shots, so why not empower yourself with the confidence to ignore what others say and pursue your passion?

Read the transcription on our blog! 

As you’ll discover in the following video from Shapermint Gal Khara Campbell, empowering yourself isn’t about appealing to the expectations of others--it’s about being yourself and following your dreams without apology.

Self Love Even When You’re Off Track

If a dear friend were to tell you that she hasn’t been eating healthy or hasn’t been exercising as much as she should, would you try to make her feel bad about herself by shaming her or putting her down?

Hopefully not!

So why do we do these things to ourselves?

One of the best--and surprisingly difficult--things we can do for ourselves is to find compassion and self-love, even during the rough times.

#ShapermintGal Kire has discovered some simple ways to cultivate a sense of self love that has little to do with sticking with a diet or exercise regimen and everything to do with honoring the person you’re meant to be.

Check out her video below to find out how little changes can make a big difference in your ability to give yourself the love you so deeply deserve.

Check the rest on our blogpost!

Don’t Be Afraid to Stand Up for Yourself - Be Yourself

We’ve all had that friend that’s says “You should stand up for yourself”, or maybe you’re that friend. Either way, what does it actually mean? Does it mean fighting back and acting tough? Does it mean you should always share your truth?

As we grow wiser, the way we stand up for ourselves starts flourishing from our own values. Those values may change over time. But whatever they are, they’re all valid because they come from your own value systems.

Destinee Stewart – Shapermint Gal- shares her thoughts about standing up for yourself, being yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin.

With Age Comes Wisdom and More Confidence

The majority of us have come across a picture of ourselves from our early twenties and thought “I wish I looked like this again”. And it’s normal. We miss our complexion, our energy, or our bodies. But like the title says, with age comes wisdom, and Kemmi – a Shapermint Gal – has shared some with us that’ll have us feeling happier with ourselves now more than ever.

As we age, we become more confident in not only our looks, but also with ourselves. We learn through life experiences, trials and lessons learned that empowerment and self love comes from within us first. The little things that used to bother us just don’t anymore and we’ve chosen to focus our energy where it matters. We’ve built ourselves up and we plan to stay there.

Check out the video below for something we all need to hear every once in a while. Or if you prefer to read, the transcript is below the video.

The Skirt

We all know some of the costumes for us ladies are a tad on the short side (which is totally cool) - but to stay feeling confident and worry-free about the wind blowing a bit too hard and showing that cute bum to the entire neighborhood, pair your outfit with the Empetua All Day Every Day High-Waisted Shaper Shorts for a medium hemline or the Co’Coon BIOCrystals High-Waisted Shaping Boyshort for the shorter skirts.

Lions and Tigers and...Tights? Oh my!

Have a wildcard costume that doesn’t cover your legs but want an extra something to pair with your look? We recommend wearing tights. They’re multifunctional - they keep your legs warm but can also boost the look of your costume. Dressed up as an animal of any kind? Try the Co’Coon Opaque Wild Print Tights. Also, try the Co’Coon High-Waisted Paris Tights - they are perfect for adding an extra “oomph” to your already fab look.

Breast Cancer Awareness with Shapermint

October is a month filled with celebrations of pumpkins, funny costumes and festive fall activities but for some, it’s a reminder of something much more serious - it’s also Breast Cancer Awareness month. It’s a time when people, organizations and companies come together to bring awareness about the disease, raise funds for a much needed cure, celebrate survivors and remember those who have passed.

The biggest key in fighting the disease is awareness and early detection. We’ve put together some quick tips on how to self-check so you can be in the know.

The best form of detection is through yearly screenings by your doctor - mammograms can detect irregularities and lumps that can’t be seen or felt but you don’t have to wait for an entire year - you can get started at home by performing monthly regular self-breast exams. A great place to check is in the shower or while you’re laying down. We’ve made a quick and easy chart for you to reference. Print it out, save the image, repost and share with your girlfriends and loved ones. Encourage them to perform the checks regularly and if it helps to get the job done, host a girl’s night with wine, snacks and a private room (a simple bathroom will do!).

When performing your self-exam, be sure to cover the entire breast area and armpit. Pressure should be light, medium and firm. Also squeeze the nipples to check for discharge and lumps.

What to Look For

• Any swelling of the breast (all or part)
• Skin irritation or dimpling  (like the peel of an orange)
• Pain in the nipple or breast
• Nipples retracting/turning inwards
• Nipple or breast skin redness, scaliness, or thickening
• Discharge other than breast milk from the nipple

A Quick Guide To Choosing The Best Shapewear for Your Body Type

Shapewear has gotten a bad rap. Some have compared them to torture devices that squeeze your innards in the name of beauty. Then there’s the problem of having to constantly and discreetly adjust bits that are rolling down or sliding up. If you’ve had any of these bad run-ins with shapewear, it’s because it didn’t do its job, which is to help you feel comfortable and in control.

What if we told you that the squeezing, rolling, muffin-topping discomfort you’ve experienced is because the piece of shapewear you’ve chosen is either the wrong size (easy to fix) or it’s the wrong piece for your body type (also an easy fix)?

Just like no two bodies are alike, not every piece of shapewear is intended for every shape. This guide will help you discover the perfect match the next time you’re looking for shapewear to help you feel comfy and body confident.

1) What outcome do you want?

First thing’s first: what are you going for? The level of control, aka compression of your shapewear will determine the outcome, so make sure it matches your goals.

LIGHT CONTROL (MEDIUM) - Do you have some bulges you want to smooth out so you can wear clothes more comfortably? Light control, everyday shapewear pieces will smooth trouble spots so you can rock your look all day long.

FIRM CONTROL (MEDIUM-HIGH) - Are you looking to accentuate your curves? Firm control shapewear is made with supple, stretchy fabrics that move with your body while adding subtle contours to your shape. You should get hours of comfort from firm control pieces.

EXTRA-FIRM CONTROL (HIGH) - Have a special occasion where you want to look breathtaking (while still being able to breathe)? Extra-firm control pieces are perfect for formal, structured clothing like wedding dresses, prom gowns, evening gowns and cocktail dresses. You should feel toned and sturdy without feeling constricted.

No matter how firm the control of your shapewear is, you should never feel like an overstuffed sausage. If your breathing or movement is restricted, try a size or two up.

2) What area do you want to boost?

Shapewear is like real estate: it’s all about location, location, location. But not everyone wants or needs beachfront property (or tiny waists...or bangin’ booties) to be happy. So what spots of your body are sources of discomfort that you want to turn into a happy place?

FULL BODY Some of us have hang-ups in more than one spot. If you want an all-over sleeker physique, try a full body piece like a bodysuit. Just make sure the piece has an easily accessible opening for bathroom breaks!!

TORSO Bra bulges and muffin tops no more: if you feel self-conscious about extra fluff on your belly, waist or back, boost your self esteem with a shaping cami.

BOTTOM Have extra bulk you’d like to slim down, or a flat little bum that could use a boost? From smoothing panties to butt-lifting bike shorts, you have all kinds of options to help you feel better about your thighs, legs and buns.

3) What’s your body shape?

So, what's your perfect shapewear? read it on our blog and chose the one for you!
