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, since last week’s post, I have come and gone to Michigan. I enjoyed the cooler temps, seeing friends and family, eating food that I have missed, etc. I have only been gone for a little over six months so not really long enough to forget everything and a short enough time to go right back to the way it was before I left. Does that even make sense? It does to me… First things first, here's my outfit for today. Yes, I am wearing these pants again but I love them! And this cold shoulder flutter top from eloquii has me all googley-eyed. But w ant to know why I am laughing? It is always funny to me to see guys on the sidelines when I am taking my outfit pictures. They shake their heads and look at their phones...today happened to be a coworker of mine-so funny! By the way, I am under the treehouse at work getting this picture taken since my photographer is currently out of commission for the summer. Anyways, on the way up to Michigan, my son and I stopped and saw the c...

Well, the unofficial End of Summer is upon us. I think a lot of us have mixed feelings. For me, I know I was happy to see my son go back to school today because he was excited to see everyone and see who was in his class. He grew a lot over the summer, physically and mentally, and I think he is excited to see what this year has in store for him. It helps that he was excited to go too and not dreading it like some kids! There is also some sadness that summer is over. I am not sitting here boo-hooing or anything like that, but given the horrible cold and snowy winter that we had, I am just not ready for the sunshine and warm temps to end! This last week was our last summer camping trip of the year. We have a couple of great families that we enjoying camping with and this last week was no exception. We chose to camp at a spot that we love called Cranhill Ranch in Rodney, MI. It is a Christian campground and we love that we also get to worship in the woods on Sunday morning. Th...
