Latina Beauty

I don’t know about you but I’m still struggling to lose all those libritas de más that I gained over the holidays–so I can totally use all the help I can get.  So, when the PR Chica at ShaToBu told me about this new line of shapewear, which gives you a sleek silhouette while helping you burn calories,  I jumped at the opportunity to try it before it was launched.

While it doesn’t help you lose a ton of weight–remember that only happens with a sensible diet and exercise plan–it does help maximize your body movements to burn extra calories.  It does this by building seamless resistance bands into the shapewear so that the body works a little harder as it moves throughout the day.  So when you walk, chase the bus, go up the stairs, you burn extra calories just by wearing it.  How much more?  According to the brand, up to 12 percent more.

While I can’t exactly measure how much weight I’ve lost thanks to ShaToBu I can tell you that I love the way it shapes my body and gives it a smoother silhouette.  I’ve been wearing it todos los días under dresses, skirts, jeans, etc. and it’s super wearable and comfortable. I tried the high-waist style and found it didn’t roll when I sat down or pinch anywhere.

ShaToBu comes in a wide range of sizes and comes in buff and jet black.  You also have a choice of waist-to-knee and high-waist styles and sells in the $50-60 price range, depending on the style you choose.  At the moment you can only buy ShaToBu here but it will soon come to a retailer near you.
