• Buyer Beware: Dying for a bigger butt 

  • By Corrie Shenigo

  

  From the Kardashian clan to Nicki Minaj, the junk in your trunk is a big (#bunpun) business. So big, in fact, that the merits of a big beautiful booty has inspired hit songs like “Bootylicious” and “Baby Got Back,” #belfies (butt selfies), dance trends (hello, twerking), and a current standard of beauty more accepting of a woman’s curves. 

• Non-Surgical Fat Reduction: The Cool Down 

  • By Kelly Cook

  

  By now, we’re all aware of how liposuction works, and while some sing its praises, not everyone loves – or can even stomach – the idea of surgery.

• Snapping Back To Pre-Pregnancy Shape Is Possible 

  • By Mary Cunningham

  

  Congratulations are in order to those who've managed to shed their pregnancy weight once they’ve welcomed their little bouncing bundle of joy to the world. Now that the extra pounds are gone, many women may still be left with some residual excess or loose skin, as well as sagging – and I’m betting that some of them may be wondering what to do about it particularly because exercise and dieting doesn’t seem to be making a dent!
