I was sent this fantastic kit to review a little over a month ago but every time I go to post it I change my mind.  The premise is a weight loss suit, you apply the blend of aromatherapy oil to your problem areas, wear the shrinky suit and work out.

The reasons for the delay are listed below: 1)  I look ridiculous in it2)  It’s not the kind of thing I normally post about3)  I look ridiculous in it4)  Getting the right photos wear I don’t look sweaty or tired are super hard to come by5) ...

A month ago I was very excited for something that landed on my door step, having heard lots about shrinking violet* wraps used in salons, I was intrigued to hear that they had branched out into at home kits.

When I was contacted by the Get Shrinking team, I had literally no clue of what the product might be and what it’ll do.
