Our Newest Must Have Style: Yummie Tummie Teddie

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Must have Yummie Tummie Teddie!

Must have Yummie Tummie Teddie!

Hi Yummie Friends –

How many of you may have had a loved one buy you revealing lingerie to make you “feel sexy”? It’s a sweet gesture, except there’s nothing forgiving or comfortable about most negligees, whether you’re a newlywed, or about to celebrate a significant birthday (29 again!), or a mom of two like me.

Intimate situations are a time when you want to feel your best. Once again, I’ve taken inspiration from real life and created the item my girlfriends and I all want: the one-piece Yummie Tummie Teddie, with underwire lace cups, and a snap-crotch, lace, boy short. And of course the Yummie Tummie Teddie has our exclusive shaping mid-section to give you that perfectly comfortable and smooth hour-glass shape.

Just as important as making you look good, I believe that shapewear also has to help you feel your best. The Yummie Tummie Teddie will give you that extra confidence, and let your beauty shine through, in every situation.

Whether you wear it in the bedroom, under a suit in the boardroom, or with a little black dress to a holiday party, the Yummie Tummie Teddie gives you more options than ever. It’s our newest must-have piece!

Stay Yummie!

Heather




Tyra Banks Picks Yummie Tummie

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

We were thrilled to be selected by Tyra Banks as a featured “figure fixer”!

Above is the clip where a model, Parisse, shows her Yummie Tummie before and after. She looks terrific, but the best part is seeing how happy and confident Parisse feels in her Yummie Tummie. She’s smoking hot because she feels so great!

Tyra is one of our favorites because she is all about focusing on the positive, encouraging women to celebrate themselves instead of obsessing about real or imagined flaws.

Thank you, Tyra, for sending that important message to women! We love you!




Back to School? Back to You!

The new Skinny Tank!

The new Skinny Tank!

Featuring the Skinny Tank!

Years of school trained us think of September as the time to start a project. Every fall I like to take a day to regroup and make plans. I call it Back to You time!

One of my regular Back to You projects is switching over my closet for the new season. It helps me figure out what I have, and decide what I want to add to update my wardrobe.

I always find a forgotten treasure in there, and it always reminds me of my mantra “Yummie Tummie is a passport to your own wardrobe!” The slimming support helps make every outfit look and feel better. And the new fall line gives you more Yummie Tummie choices than ever!

One of my favorite new items from this collection is the Skinny Tank. Made with our new proprietary stretch cotton fabric, it hugs your curves with the Yummie combination of comfort and control you’ve come to love.

I’m so excited to have you try this new style and fabric that we made it the Featured Item of the Month. Use coupon code SKINNYTANK and get 20% off a Skinny Tank between now and September 30th!
Stay yummie!

BlogHer ’09 Celebrity Sightings

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

A wonderful team of thirty Yummie Tummie brand ambassadors attended the BlogHer conference in Chicago over the weekend of July 24 through 26th. In addition to spreading the word about Yummie Tummie to 1,000 very interested women bloggers, they had a chance to meet up with three special celebrities and present them with Yummie Gift Bags of stylish shapewear.

First Yummie Tummie brand ambassadors presented a RIPT Fusion to the hilarious and stylish Carson Kressley, of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and “How to Look Good Naked” fame. He quickly proved that he did look good, at least half-naked, when he tried on his RIPT Fusion right in front of his many adoring fans.

He also remembered meeting Yummie Tummie designer Heather Thomson, and explained to the crowd how the RIPT would smooth and shape him. He was a great sport!

Next the Yummie Tummie brand ambassadors presented a gift bag to the lovely and gracious Paula Deen. Paula was quite intrigued by Yummie Tummie, and agreed that muffin tops are for eating, not for wearing.

The third and final Yummie Tummie celebrity gift bag was for fashion icon, Tim Gunn. He was the epitome of charm and good manners, sending his best Heather, whom he’d recently met, and sharing his excitement about trying the RIPT Fusion himself.

The brand ambassadors did tell Tim about Carson trying it on immediately, in front of everyone, but the classy Mr. Gunn gestured to his impeccable suit and said, “I’m not sure that would work right now!”

BlogHer was a great opportunity to hear from many Yummie Tummie fans, and create some new ones, like Carson, Paula and Tim!




Hot Weather Style Rules

The Boyfriend Tank in juicy raspberry!

Raspberry Boyfriend Tank!

Hot weather is here, with weekends filled up with cookouts, softball games and beach parties. It’s also when I start reminding the ladies in my life about a big rule of style: “casual” doesn’t mean you can toss all fashion sensibility into the garbage!

It’s easy to be comfortable and have great style. Just follow these Casual Party Dos and Don’ts!

Do:

  • Embrace color – try out a bold orange hair accessory, or a flirty raspberry pink Yummie Tummie Boyfriend Tank to show off sexy shoulders.
  • Go for a comfortable shoe – have fun with a flat, metallic sandal, or try the Fit Flop which were featured on Oprah’s favorite things with Yummie Tummie
  • Choose simple jewelry, like a charm – I love Good Charma! — on a leather cord or silver chain
  • Keep your makeup light – use SPF, tinted moisturizer, not heavy foundation, swipe on some waterproof mascara, and a pretty, sheer lip gloss. You’ll be done, but not too done. (more…)



When Should You Go Long?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

After my last newsletter about choosing the right size Yummie Tummie, so many of you wrote in to ask “Should I get the regular or long length?”

My fast and easy answer is: “Get both!”

Here’s why: the two lengths do different jobs. Most of us have a convertible bra to wear with halters or strapless looks, and another one that is perfect under t-shirts. It’s the same with Yummie Tummie — you pick the one that works with the outfit!

For example, with a casual look like low-rise jeans and a hoodie, I wear a Yummie Tummie long boyfriend tank. The extra length lets me be confident that everything will stay covered, even when I’m chasing my kids up, over and around the jungle gym!

When I wear something dressier, like a sheer top with light-weight trousers, I pick one of the Yummie Tummie basics, like a strappy tank in the regular length. I can even tuck it in for a more formal look, without a lot of extra fabric bunching up.

I hope this helps you to find the right Yummie Tummie. I love answering your questions, so please keep sending them in!

Stay yummie!
Heather

PS – You only have a few more days to get the bright green limited edition Yummie Tummie Life Tank. Order one today and support organ donors! All proceeds will go to the non-profit New York Organ Donor Network.




California Dreaming

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

I just got home from an amazing trip to California, which you’ve been reading about if you follow me on Twitter or you’re a Yummie Tummie Facebook fan.

It was fantastic to meet so many of you in person. I love that women always pull up their shirts when they meet me – gotta show off your Yummie Tummie!

Everyone was wild about the spring collection, especially the sexy new Bareback in raspberry. It’s my favorite right now, too!

In San Francisco, I had a great conversation – Hi Michelle! – about figuring out which size Yummie Tummie to get. Since this is a question I hear all the time, I thought it would be good to tell everyone the big style secret: be comfortable!

Seriously, wear the size that fits and feels good on you! Start with your usual size. If you want a little more support and shaping, try on a size smaller. If it’s too tight, go a size up.

It’s that easy. The trick to looking yummie is feeling good. Your shapewear should make you happy. Try a Yummie Tummie and you’ll be wearing it with a big smile, I promise!




It’s Time to Spring-Clean Your Wardrobe!

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

heatherIt’s been a long, snowy winter, but spring is here at last. It’s time to get a fresh start with some wardrobe spring-cleaning!

Take an afternoon to go through your closet. Donate anything you haven’t worn in a year, and mend loose buttons and sagging hems.

Try on everything with the right shoes and undergarments. You might be pleasantly surprised to see how pieces really look on you. I always say, “YummieTummie is a passport to your own closet” because all clothes hang better with a little support!
You have more support choices than ever with the new spring Yummie Tummie collection:

  • The trendy Boyfriend tank has wider straps, like that one you always borrow from him, only smoother in the middle!
  • The sexy Bareback halter is the only shapewear that gives you the support while letting you show off your shoulders and back!
  • The Lacie, with feminine lace details on the neckline and hem is a sweetly slimming layer, or perfectly pretty by itself!

Check out all of the new styles, plus see your favorites in bright colors for spring. You can be comfortable and look great, with Yummie Tummie!

Stay Yummie!

Show Off Your Arms Like Michelle Obama!

Friday, March 6th, 2009

peek-a-boo-straplessIt might still feel like winter, but spring is right around the corner! That means it’s time to put away sweaters and get ready to show a little skin.

Like everyone, I’ve been watching our new First Lady, Michelle Obama, take the fashion world by storm. This season we can expect to see a lot of her favorite styles that show off well-toned arms and shoulders.

I’m so excited to tell you about the new spring Yummie Tummie styles that are perfect for this chic look!

We added two strapless styles:

And for the first time ever, with our exclusive Bareback halter, you can have the support of shapewear with the sexiness of a halter top.

Visit the Yummie Tummie site to see all of the new spring styles that are easy to wear, every day. Stay comfortable and look great, even when it gets warmer, which is any day now!

Stay Yummie!
