Black Friday: Spend On A Shortcut or Invest In The Longcut?

Black Friday: Spend On A Shortcut or Invest In The Longcut?


Black Friday got me thinking... it's so interesting.


Did you know the average woman spends around $382 in Black Friday sales? I can guess that beyond gifts a fair chunk of that spend is on clothes, and make-up... maybe signing up for a new gym to start in January whilst they've got a deal on?


How much do you spend on your appearance every year?


More importantly - how much do you spend masking elements of your appearance that you have the power to change?


New clothes to make us feel better...despite our growing waistline. Or maybe just baggier clothes we can buy online because the experience of shopping right now feels pretty horrendous!


How much do you spend on make-up to cover up the bags from too much work and not enough sleep? Or the sugary diet that's crippling your collagen production...have you read our article on skin health yet?


So...Black Friday: Spend On A Shortcut or Invest In The Longcut?


Let's Talk Real Changes To How You Look...


I didn't used to think it was possible.


I'll be honest, when I first lost weight it was an expensive exercise... in the best way! I was so stoked with how I felt and looked, I was throwing out my size 14 and 16 clothes, slowly replacing them with size 8-10 clothes that made me feel on top of the world! It's not about the size or clothes, but rather that feeling of confidence that makes you WANT to go shopping. It's pretty magical.


Throughout the whole process, I also realised how much I had been spending on flasher brands, thicker fabric... so much to mask the stomach I was trying to hide and the boobs that didn't fit into normal bras. It was exhausting and expensive.


More than simply losing body fat, the transformation was unreal as my skin and my face began to change. My skin got better (fewer random spots) and brighter which meant I was less bothered about make-up. I also hadn't realised how inflamed I had been. My face and body (in hindsight) looked almost swollen.



Beyond Black Friday Splurges to a Lasting Body Transformation


As the allure of Black Friday deals beckons us to invest in new clothes, makeup, and fitness challenges, it's time to reconsider the true cost of transforming our bodies.


How much are we spending annually to mask a body we don't love, and what if the key to lasting transformation lies not in short-term splurges but in foundational principles of nutrition, movement, and education?


Welcome to a new paradigm of self-investment—where the returns aren't just skin-deep, but transformative for life.


The Black Friday Splurge:


Every Black Friday, the shopping frenzy offers an opportunity to reinvent ourselves through new clothes, cosmetics, and gym commitments. The promise of a fresh start often comes in the form of external transformations—yet, the costs add up, both in dollars and the pursuit of elusive satisfaction.


The Hidden Costs: Consider the cumulative expense of what you spend on trying to make your skin your better, more glowing. What you spend on clothes...or what you WISH you could spend on clothes, if you could bear to go shopping!


The Basics of Body Transformation:


What if the answer to a slimmer waist, better skin, and more energy isn't in fleeting trends but in fundamental choices—choices centred on nutrition, movement, and education? Enter the Body Reset Transformation Programme, where the emphasis is on providing real, no-nonsense, natural tools that last a lifetime.


Nutrition: Investing in the quality of your food is an investment in your well-being. Body Reset teaches you the principles of nutrition, empowering you to make informed choices that nourish your body, promote vibrant skin, and create a foundation for lasting health.



Movement: Rather than fleeting gym challenges, the programme emphasises consistent and enjoyable physical activity—a practice that becomes a sustainable part of your life. Beyond calorie burn, regular movement positively impacts mood, energy levels, and overall vitality.





Education: Enter the game-changer—investing in your education through the Body Reset Transformation Programme. Offering the long cut rather than the shortcut, this programme provides you with real tools for life. Yes, it requires time and effort to learn, but the rewards are profound and enduring.




The Long Cut vs. the Shortcut: We understand that lasting transformation requires more than quick fixes. It's about embracing the long cut, investing in your education, and acquiring tools that empower you to navigate your wellness journey independently.




Incredible Returns: The returns from investing in your education are immeasurable. Armed with knowledge, you gain the power to make informed choices about your nutrition and exercise, creating a sustainable, lifelong approach to health and well-being.


This Black Friday, let's shift our perspective on transformation.


Instead of pouring resources into fleeting external changes, consider redirecting your focus to the foundational principles of nutrition, movement, and education.


The Body Reset Transformation Programme offers a genuine, no-BS path to lasting transformation—a long cut that ensures your investments yield incredible, enduring returns.


This year, invest not just in superficial changes, but in the profound journey of self-discovery and empowerment that will transform your body and life.
