For those who decide *not* to do the bathroom squats

If you tried 'em yesterday and immediately decided the bathroom squats weren't worth the trouble, don't fret, because in the same spirit of backside improvement, a reader was kind enough to send my way - and thus, your way - a coupon-code good for the entire month of October for 25% off any and all items on Spanx's website.

And, if you're big into the whole charity scene (whistling and rocking back on stilettos), you can feel both cinched and self-satisfied with your new Power Panties purchase, because every time a customer enters the code "Washington," Spanx has agreed to donate $5 toward the Junior League's literacy campaign.

Now if you're on the fence because you own something like this* or God forbid this, just remember, ladies, no matter how happy you may be in your own skin...

This is still what your ass looks like without Spanx.

Do the right thing.

*love you, E!
