Curvy Girl on the Run

Hi friends! How has everyone been lately? If you’ve been following along with me, you know that I took a break over the past week or so to really focus on helping Black creators to be seen and heard more on Instagram- as that is my main platform with followers. I muted myself other than my stories (meaning no posting of regular content on my feed) and on my stories posted resources, content and more all relating to Black Lives Matter.  I feel like this needs to be said. Just because someone is back to posting their outfit pics doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re no longer helping the cause. Don’t let yourself get caught up in what others are doing. I fell into this trap this past week and let me tell you, it’s no fun. If you feel a certain way, let it be known. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing in order for you to feel like you are enough. I’ve had a lot of meaningful conversations this past week about this and I feel that I am ready to post my content and move for...

Well this has been a week! Is it Friday yet? It was only Monday and my son and I both said we were already ready for the weekend! Some weeks are just like that!  We got our first snowfall accumulation on Monday and on the way to dropping my son off at school, I got rear ended. It wasn’t a big deal- it still isn’t a big deal. No one was hurt- a young girl didn’t stop in enough time and slid and hit me. The problem I had was when I called the police to file a report, her dad came at me and yelled and called names. Hmm no wonder she was crying, she was probably scared of what her dad would say. I was very kind to the girl and told her it was okay- you just never know what kind of damage you might have so it’s always best to have a police report. Stay safe out there friends! It’s been snowing a lot all across the country so be careful as you’re out and about!  Now on to more fun stuff like fashion! Let’s check out outfits from today and the past week or so! You can leave your hat ...

Well it’s hard to believe it was exactly eighteen years ago that the dreadful day happened. 09/11 seems like it was so long ago, yet just yesterday! I must confess that I miss the comradery of Americans after the attacks happened. Flags flying, strangers being kind, patriotic anthems playing, the whole nine yards. I wish we would be like that every day!  We continue to live our lives as if nothing ever happened. Let us never forget.  Now, let’s talk about how this past week went. I had a birthday, made a custom lipstick, went to a garden and sculpture park and had a fantastic brunch. This past week was full of fun activities and friends and family.  I went to the  Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park  with my friend Kathy. We have been friends for years and used to travel together everywhere for work! It’s nice that I’m back up in MI close to her for a little while anyways! While we were there, we saw lots of plants - not many flowers because of the time o...
