WhatUp Wednesday #22


It’s Wednesday again so time to tell you all about what’s been happening! Today was another job fair at work. Yes, I am still displaced and yes, time is running out for me to find another job. Keep me in your thoughts or prayers or whatever you do that I will find the right job fit for me. February 5th will be my official last day here at Capital One and then on to bigger and better things (I hope!). I have recently started applying to more positions since I figured it is after the new year and now things will hopefully be picking up in the job market realm.
After the job fair, we went to a fantastic lunch buffet at Blue Mesa , one of our favorite spots. The food was so good and we all ate our money's worth for sure!

Here is my look for today:
This look was actually in my Dia&Co box this past month. I am glad I finally got a chance to wear it-even if it was one of the coldest days of the year! Want your own Dia box? Click here to learn more!

 On Netflix I have been watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. This just might be my new favorite show! I love Jerry Seinfeld but this takes it to another level by inviting other comedians to hang out with him for the day. More of my favorite things- comedy, coffee, jazz music and classic cars. I highly recommend you check it out! I am also watching Parks and Rec again- I like to watch something light when I go to bed at night and sitcoms like these are the best!

I read a couple of books too- well, I finished one and I am almost done with another. The People We Hate At the Wedding was just meh. It was a lot of family drama around one of the members of the family getting married. It was a quick read and held my attention but I don’t know that I would necessarily recommend it. It was definitely a chick-lit book and would probably be best while lying on the beach drinking pina coladas.

The other book I am reading and almost done with is called The Punch Escrow. It is set in the future and it is all around teleportation of humans and the drama that ensues when one person is not teleported properly. I don’t want to give too much away but it has definitely held my attention! I would definitely recommend this book and I have found it to be quite interesting. I also really like that the author has incorporated definitions of what he is talking about at the bottom of each page. It makes it easier to understand and is also quite thought-provoking of what might be to come in the future.
Here are my outfits that I posted on Instagram over the past couple weeks:









Let me just mention that this last look is from SheIn featuring this star print dress. SO good! Shop the dress here and use my coupon code on it or anything else: "curvygirl20"!
By the way, these other looks are also from SheIn and they are so good!
You can find the blouse here and you can find the sweater here. Don't forget to use "curvygirl20" for your discount!
Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! Thanks for reading and following along with me!

It’s a special edition of Travel Tuesday on a Thursday!   Ya’ll  need to get on board with going to Galveston! If you’re in the DFW area and you want to get to the beach, you can head south a few hours and get to Galveston easily! This was my second time visiting but I have a feeling I’ll be going back a little more often! I don’t have a ton of recommendations for you yet based on one weekend but the more I go, the more I’ll have!  First things first, where to stay?! There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away!

I took a bunch of pictures for you guys so you can check out how cute it is!  These are a few little sneak peeks of the rooms t

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
