A Plus Size Life, Style, Fashion and Beauty Blog!
Everyday brands are extending their apparel lines to include plus sizes. Its refreshing to see that that brands are also opting to dress women with more hips and busts. I can still remember a time when their were only a few brands that would cater to us. We were left to purchase non flattering clothing. Young women had no choice but to purchase matronly and mature garments. This is why I chose to feature these brands on my Rumor Has It series.
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.
As a curvy woman who is constantly on the go; comfort is essential. My love of cute heels and flats have on occasion left me with sweaty, bruised and battered feet. Why? Some of us women suffer from bruises on the back of our heels. Wearing shoes with out pantyhose or socks can lead to stinky and smelly feet too; which is not ideal. If you are like me; who also suffers from flat feet it can be even more challenging. I was fortunate to receive a sample of a great new product which is will eliminate these woes.
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.
Happy Monday, Lovelies! I have been meaning to write this post for quite some time. Perhaps, I should have written it in October when I first launched Curvy Intuition. Nevertheless, I have decided to write a series of posts about me. My intention was also mentioned in this month’s goals and you can read that here. Like the title reads…today I will be telling you 5 random facts about me.
