Shape up for summer and find the right swimsuit for your shape

When swimsuit season arrives, insecurities seem to follow.

But there is a right swimsuit for every person – you just have to know how to find it.

Juliana Renz, who designs the celebrity-favorite swimwear line Le Doux, says the key to buying a swimsuit is knowing your body type.

“To me, swimwear is about knowing what your body looks like and how to create the illusion of proportion,” Renz said. “I think that’s what you try to accomplish when you buy swimwear – to hide the less pleasant areas, whatever it is. So to me, it’s about creating proportion where you don’t have it.”

One Million Entrepreneurs: How do you unwind after a long day or week of juggling all of your family and business responsibilities?

Fabienne Fredrickson: The key is to winding down after a long day or a full week of work is to plan low key activities after a long period of working. In the evenings, I plan for easy-to-make meals. I recommend having a freezer stocked with healthy foods that are easy to make. In the morning, you can take out some individually frozen pieces of lean fish and frozen diced vegetables from the freezer and leave them in the fridge to thaw during the day while you work. At night, all you need to do is bake it with some seasonings, reheat or make a simple pot of rice, serve these with a simple tossed salad, and you’ve got dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes, healthy and without stress. On weekends, we make Friday night “pizza delivery night” and curl up on the sofa to watch a movie with the kids. It’s low key and family focused, and it doesn’t require any more juggling or responsibilities.

Brandmaker News interviews Fabienne Fredrickson

Brandmaker News: What were some of the initial challenges you faced as you tried to balance motherhood and running your own business?

Fabienne Fredrickson: I’d had my own business for a few years before having a family. I was used to working whenever I wanted and setting my own hours. But when my first child arrived, I felt an enormous amount of guilt spending time on my business. I felt that I was stealing time from my infant daughter if I took time to market my business or when I was speaking to a client on the phone. At the same time, I felt conflicted, because I knew that I really enjoyed my work, that it brought me fulfillment but that I also needed to focus on my business if I wanted to continue having paying clients.
