Too bad when baby pops out, the waistline doesn't snap back to pre–pregnancy shape. For some, it can take a while to get back to the former self. For others, Yummie Tummies are here to help.

Started by Heather Thomson, who worked for J. Lo, Sean Jean, and Beyonce Knowles, the designing mother of two created Yummie Tummies. Fighting the battle of the bulge after two children, the entrepreneurial mother began sewing the nifty torso tighteners in her NYC apartment. Before she knew it, she had a hit.

The whole idea was to make a shaper that looks good, is comfortable and really works. The fabric is designed to not roll up over your belly and is made for layering over or tucking into pants or skirts. The panel will fit comfortably smooth and will naturally whisk moisture away, which makes them great for the gym. I seriously wear a Yummie Tummie every single day - my bra, my underwear, my Yummie Tummie.

Yummie Tummies come in eight practical styles and ten matchable colors. The wholesale prices range between $26 to $34. Only available in a handful of high profile boutiques in New York and Los Angeles, these tops are set to blaze their way into 400 stores this year. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these chub flatteners!

Things Are Heating Up (Like That Hairball on Your Carpet)

Did you know felines lose more hair in the summertime? Even if you didn't know the reason, kitty owners can likely attest to the abundance of hair on carpet (and clothes and sheets) during the warmer months. Although cats groom themselves excessively, it's still important to brush them during this time, especially long-haired cats who've got more coat to collect. Otherwise, in - or out - pops the dreaded hairball.

As the name implies, a hairball is in fact a ball of hair. The clump of ingested fur forms in a kitty's tummy and, when it becomes too big, causes that "present" found on your carpet. If you're noticing (or worried about) this problem, switch to a high-quality, special hairball formula food or a petroleum-based digestive aid. Already have a picky kitty on your hands? Get my tip and
