Tip #52: How to Get Out Stubborn Sweat Stains

I get so many questions about how to keep white shirts clean... I am hoping this is an answer.  I haven't tried it yet because I keep on forgetting to buy aspirin at the store!!

1. Place 5 aspirin tablets under running water to soften them (or use a Water spray bottle)
2. Smooth the pills over the stain
3. Leave on overnight
4. Rinse with HOT water in the morning

The salicylic acid in aspirin will loosen the sweat, dirt and antiperspirant residue that cause discoloration.

Tip #50: Suggestion for Petite Girls

I am NOT petite at 5'8".  But, I do NOT want to exclude any body types on Hip Bargain Chick!

For Petite Women with a slim upper body and short(er), stockier legs:

• Choose fitted tops in light colors (but stay in your color palette) to draw attention to  your tiny upper body.
• Wear dark, wide-legged pants or jeans
• A-line skirts (avoid narrow Pencil styles if you have stocky calves).  
• Shoes with height always make the leg look longer and make you taller!!

Tip #49: What NOT to wear!!

OK, girls... this may be obvious, but I feel a need to say this after my trip to the store today.

Avoid wearing the following on areas of the body you wish to appear smaller:

• Shiny
• Heavily textured
• Superbright 

It will have the opposite effect!!!
