Quiz: Are you in a Denim Rut?

Answer Yes or No to the following statements:
- I feel the button of my jeans digging into my stomach when I sit down.
- I constantly wonder if my undergarments are visible when I am sitting.
- By the end of the day my jeans are a size larger than when I put them on.
- I’d rather be in sweatpants than my favorite pair of jeans.
If you answered Yes to any of these questions, you may be ready for a new pair of jeans!
Since 2005 Kathy Moca and Emilie Moca Whitaker have been bringing Brazilian jeans to women across the USA who have spent their lives looking for that perfect pair of jeans.
The secret behind Beija-Flor, which is Portuguese for hummingbird (hence the adorable hot pink bird logo on the back pocket) is rather simple: The jeans are designed to work with rather than against a woman’s natural curves.
Every pair is made with a lightweight 4-season Brazilian stretch denim that does not stretch out- no matter how many times you wear them! Every style features a vertical illusion wash with darker shades on the outsides and lighter towards the mid-thigh for a slimming effect. The jeans are not the traditional low-riding styles of Brazil, but rather come with a contoured waist that dips in the front and sits higher on the backside- also helping to alleviate any gaping in the rear.
They really truly work! Check them out here.

Oh dear – this totally describes how I feel about all the jeans in my closet!
Unfortunately, I can’t find these anywhere near where I live!
Will travel to find the perfect pair of jeans, though!
