How to Wear Plaid | 5 Chic Fall Essentials
Plaid has always made me feel stylish. From grunge era flannel shirts to iconic school uniforms, plaid never goes out of style so I consider it a classic print. I’m confident that if I see a photo of myself in plaid from any era, I’ll still consider it a cute look.
Five Beauty Products I Love: October Empties
Do you ever notice that you have random jars of unused beauty products around your bathroom? If a jar is sitting in my bathroom for months and I’ve only used it once or twice, chances are I didn’t love it but I feel bad about being wasteful so it just sits on my shelves. I recently realized that a great way for me to figure out which products I truly love is to look at the containers that are empty! This month I’m sharing five products that I’ve used all the way to the end. I also made a video review on my instagram - you can watch that video here!
My Strapless Bra & Shapewear Guide

This is very exciting to me because I now know that if it can happen for me, it can happen for anyone… including you. Don't quit your daydream, doll!
How to Throw a Last Minute BBQ (in 1 Hour or Less!)
As co-founder of theCURVYcon, my dreams are coming true, which also means that my work life is a lot more demanding than it used to be. This is a beautiful thing, but I don't get to spend as much time just hanging out as I used to. I'm noticing that people in my life are much more appreciative of time spent together, than they are a perfect meal made from scratch. So, I do the best I can and give myself grace so that I "don't make perfect the enemy of good" -Voltaire Here's How to Throw a BBQ in 1 hour or less:
