A Plus Size Life, Style, Fashion and Beauty Blog!
I am a winter baby! A winter baby who has sensitive and dry skin. My skin can become so dry and cracked; that it requires constant TLC. As a skincare enthusiast, proper skincare has been one of my goals for the new year. Every week I incorporate face masks into my skincare routine, which includes a combination of sheet, mud and peel masks. Sheet and peel off masks are my absolute favorite.

Happy October! I love the month of October. The leaves have officially changed and the weather is slowly getting cooler. It is the month of pumpkins, apple picking, cozy sweaters and of course Halloween! I am not really a fan of Halloween, but I must admit that I can be found perusing the aisles of Party City looking at this year’s costume selections. Guilty pleasure, what can I say? 2017 is coming to a close in the next few months and I want to end the year with a bang. It is also the month that Curvy Intuition was born. Not sure how I want to celebrate this milestone, but I am sure I will figure something out. Now, for the reason, we’re here! Time to outline my goals for this month.
Hello, Curvy Beauties! Summer is officially over and we are getting close to the end of 2017! On a happier note, it is now my favorite season…Fall. I absolutely love the Fall. The leaves change color and the weather becomes crisp and cold. I am a huge fan of cold weather as I am sure you can tell. Soon we will be breaking out the cashmere sweaters, the thigh high boots, hats and cozy coats. I am here for it! I have seen some of the latest Fall collections of my favorite plus size designers and I am looking forward to a Fashionable Fall Season. This month I am so excited to announce that I will be attending the Curvy Con. This is the first time that I will be attending and I can hardly contain my excitement.
Before I started Curvy Intuition and even now after its launch I would read the Style & Beauty Doctor blog. Danielle Gray is the guru of all things beauty and fashion. The video tutorials on Youtube are so helpful. It can assist even the trendiest beauty blogger to the everyday woman (me). This is the 2nd Secret Beauty event that I have attended. Read about my first experience here.
It was a hot summer afternoon on a Saturday. I was looking forward to attending the event, networking with other bloggers and maybe even taking a photograph with Danielle Gray. My attire was casual, comfortable and functional. I wore a black tank calf-length midi dress, flat sandals, and simple hoop earrings. Clicked the Uber app and was on my way to the city. The event was being held on Prince Street at SpaceNK Apothecary London.
SpaceNK Apothecary is nestled in a white corner storefront in Manhattan. Upon entering I was immediately greeted with a chilled glass of champagne and sweet treats. There were approximately 40 people in the store and a sea of beauty products to sample. Skincare products have been my main focus for the past few months. After perusing the other displays of make-up and haircare; I headed to the skincare section.
Skincare display was filled with cleaning washes to eye creams. The products that I was most interested in trying is the Chantecaille Nano Gold Energizing Face Cream and the Nano Gold Energizing Eye Cream. Also the Kat Burki Vitamin C Nourishing Cleansing Balm. The reviews will be forthcoming.
Women of all nationalities attended the event. Questions in relation to beauty and skincare were happily received by Danielle. Her vast knowledge of beauty and skin care topics are substantial; suggesting specific products that would be best for your skin type. She was engaging, charming and despite the school of women waiting in line to grab a tidbit of her knowledge.
I finally got a chance to speak to Danielle towards the end of the event. Even though our conversation was not beauty based; it was certainly a pleasure to converse with her. I always have a keen eye when her newsletter hit my inbox. There may be another secret beauty event to attend. Schedule permitting; I will be in attendance.
Hello, Beauties! Happy June! We’re officially 6 months into 2017. This year is going by so fast. Faster then I have actually imagined.

Not only am I going to discuss my goals for this month, but I am also going to outline a few revisions.
