HUGS FOR LIFE

Image
July is here and we are loving it already... Happy New Month Everyone and welcome to a new week. Over the weekend, I was chatting with a very dear friend and in the course of our conversation,  he said, curvy girls give the best hugs. what do you think? Did you know that hugging (and also laughter) is very effective at healing sickness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress? Let me tell you a quick story. This one time, I worked in an organization where I thought my boss didn't like me, half the time, it felt like I was walking on egg shells while at work and I dreaded the moments she would scold me over things I did wrong or expectations I didn't meet. At some point, I went through a deeply hurting, personal emotional phase and she found out about it. The following morning, she called me to her office, I was already wondering what I did wrong and was preparing my mind for an early morning round of scolding. She got up from her seat as I walked into her of...

We made it to another great week 👏👏👏😊 and oh! Happy Happy Eid holiday to all my Muslim readers around the world, I got my share of the Sallah fried, spicy rice and chicken from my neighbour yesterday..yummy! Let me jump-start your week with some curvy candy. Got a few style ideas for the new week that I thought was worth sharing. Remember the popular saying "Dress as you want to be addressed"? This week is the time to get all dressed up, dolled up and go chase your dreams, Hun, so dress for it.  Plan your week, pick out your clothes for the week and get them ready, you are about to slay, so you might as well have fun with it. No one in their right minds will ignore a well dressed woman or man 😃😃😃 Try to be early to all your appointments this week. I used to be a perpetual late comer at a point while I was working with a bank, and amazingly, my home was just 10 minutes drive to the bank but I was just in the habit of waking up so late, taking my t...

If you are plus size, full figured, curvy, get in here! This post is for you 😄😊.  I know that sometimes picking out clothes while shopping, putting together the pieces you have available that will give you that smart, lush look as you step out, can be quite a challenge. So here, I have put together a few tips that could help. Colours:   Once you are plus sized, you may need to be a bit careful with colours, try to pick colours that would enhance your complexion, some coloured clothes  depending on how it is tailored could bring too much attention to the some of the bulges you may want to keep a bit tucked in 😉😉😉. I would recommend darker shades like brown, maroon,black, deep purple etc. If you choose bright colours, then make it patterned, floral ones. Then again, Once in a while, it's OK to be bold and look different with bright coloured pieces such as pants, blazers or dresses.  Fabrics:  Being a full figured lady myself, I h...

MUSINGS OF A BURNING HEART

That moment ,when I am tempted to feel that perhaps I was not good enough for you, that I am inadequate, and don't deserve you, that moment when I feel the pressure of the need to prove my worth to you; I pause, sit back and remind myself who I  really am; a jewel waiting to be purchased from the master craftsman, masterpiece of my Sculptor, worth being treasured. I remind myself that I have invaluable substance, and I am a blessing to any one blessed enough with the gift of me, full of beautiful flaws, beautiful, loved you like my life depended on you. I am an asset you just lost. I remind myself that I am capable of receiving and giving the kind of love you read about in fairy tales or watch on telenovelas, the very kind you have secretly yearned, hoped for, in your heart. Perhaps it isn't me, I was too good for you and you couldn't handle it, maybe you are yet unwilling to learn to accept this magnitude of affection, or could it be that you are not mature enough...

No matter what the occasion is, there is always a proper dress for it. Accessorize !!! Remember that accessories add to the glamour of your beautiful dress and make up. Pick the right shoes, the right earrings, purse or bag and your make up should make you look classy and chic and not like a "Calabar Masquerade" Pick the right dress colours. Colours  that enhances your complexion  and goes with your accessories as well. Avoid big skirts and tops and any other dress that doesn't flatter your full figure, you want to bring attention to the right places and not look drab. Garner Style Confidence is key, it makes you walk tall and trust me, confidence is sexy. It definitely adds springs to your steps as well. Never forget that you rock no matter what shape, height and skin colour you are. W...
