Brush Up...literally!

I hate to add even more to your to-do lists, but if you decide and of course have the time to do any summer body prepping, my best piece of advice is to invest in a body brush.
 
You've probably read it over and over again in all the get-bikini-ready-summer-guides, but I can honestly say hand on heart, or should I say brush on thigh, it really does the trick. OK, maybe that's a tad bit overzealous. What I mean to say is, for most of us, however yummy mummy, our bikini days are long gone. If you were part of the cover-up kaftan/sarong crew pre-baby days, as I was leader, chances are post-baby days you're even more likely to wear a tummy-hold-in stupidly expensive one-piece on the beach or by the pool as well as your beloved friend, the kaftan. But less exposure should never mean less care. You deserve to feel your best even under all that light layering and pools of cleavage sweat! 
 
So, while it's still early enough before the kids break up, promise yourself, three times a week before your morning shower to get brushing (on dry skin towards the heart) pay particular attention to legs, bums and tums and don't think the harder you brush, the slimmer your silhouette, you shouldn't draw blood!  Try Aromatherapy Associates Body Brush, £12 for it's soft bristles and easy-to-grip handle.
