Your heart is pumping wildly....

You break out in sweat over your whole body. You feel extremely dizzy. You force yourself to take nice deep breaths. Suddenly you are wondering if you packed the Resq remedy and rummage through your over full disorganized handbag in a wild attempt to locate it although you know very well it's in your other bag with 3 toy cars and various dried fruit bars. Another big breath as you shut your eyes tightly and pull on the offending bit of overpriced Lycra.

And voila! For once it does not look too bad. For once you chose the "old tannie" one that promise to keep the twin skin in tact and it actually works. Nothing hangs out that shouldn't, somehow things does look a bit more trim. Huge relief! And what the hec, I may be well over my bikini days with no hope to ever get there again, but I have a swimming costume that makes me feel less of a beached whale and more of a , although slightly not so firm,  beach babe mom of 3. Yes, a part of my sanity day off was spent doing the worse shopping of the year.

BTW Woolworths has a fabulous range of secret shaping swimwear this year for less than half the price as what you would pay at one of those speciality shops and I could have chosen another 4 that looked quite good too. Thanks Woollies! (This is no promotion for Woollies - I did not get anything from them for this, I am just a very relieved  happy swimwear shopper)

  3. Awww that is great. I also took the plunge and bought a cozzie from them while we were on holiday in Plett. Now if they could just do something about the lighting in their booths. I don't think we really need to see each lump and bump.

  4. OMG! I know the feeling exactly - the pulling and tucking in! And I'm never happy! Will definitely go and have a look at Woolies then - I haven't punished myself by buying a new cozzie since I went to Mauritius in 2008! :) Time for an investment clearly! Thanks for sharing the good news!

  5. oh the stress of cozzie shopping. I have zillions of them (all tankini's) different tops/hotpants,bikini bottoms....I mix and match all the time looking for the MAGIC one that will make me feel okay in public....has yet to happen. If I am on a beach I am in short shorts and a tank top! Too much skin has me cringing. :-0
