Skinny WHAT??? (Featured Etsy Seller)

Spring has arrived, whether or not the temperature in New England wants to admit it.

Along with spring comes lighter clothes and eventually...*gulp* bathing suits. More people are crowding into my aerobics classes in preparation.

You might be on a program like Weight Watchers and have a big weight loss goal. Or maybe (like me) you just want to tone up a little more for the fierce little red dress you'll be wearing on your upcoming summer vacation. Either way, I have a fabulous accessory for you!

Let me introduce you to Naya Designs:




Naya's come up with a stylish little way to keep up with your diet and exercise goals: the Skinny Bitch bracelet. (You heard me!) Her idea is so smart and creative. I tried to explain it in my own words, but I can't possibly do it justice. Since Naya Designs does a much better job at her own product description than I ever could (obviously!), I'm just going to post the description directly from her shop:

"How it works:
Your Skinny Bitch is a beautiful bracelet in and of itself. The bracelet is made of 27-28 6mm beads. Every 5th bead is a different color making it easy for you to count. With your bracelet (this is the best part) you receive two sterling silver charms. The first is the Skinny Bitch! She is so skinny, that bitch. Anyway, she is running towards the second charm, an adorable STOP sign.

You start your day by setting the stop point. If you are using a weight loss program that has a "points" system, you would set the stop sign at your "points" limit. Next, your Skinny Bitch is connected at the first bead. As you go through your day, you simply move Skinny Bitch along, one bead for each "point". When Skinny Bitch reaches the STOP sign, you STOP eating! Pretty simple!

BUT WAIT! There are other ways to use the Skinny Bitch. You can set the stop sign to track anything. You can keep track of how much water you drink in a day. You can track how many times you go to the gym in a week. You can track how many times you hug your husband in a day. You can even use it to track ovulation. Get creative, your Skinny Bitch will be your new best friend."

Brilliant, right? I just bought this one today:

It's made from rhondonite beads. Pretty!
I'm not on WW, but I thought it might be good to start keeping track of my work-outs over the week. Heck, with 28 beads, I could probably keep track of them all month! And besides, it's just a really cute and pretty reminder to stay healthy.
Head over to Naya Design's Etsy shop. She also creates really pretty earrings...and for the men - there's even a "Skinny Bastard" bracelet available! (o;
