The Subscription Box Diaries- Chapter One-Armoire

Image
Hello friends! I wanted to start a series that I thought would be helpful for so many of us! The thought of buying new clothes can be daunting to a lot of people. Whether it is because you hate shopping, you can’t find your size, you don’t know your size or any other reason, I’ve got you covered in this new series I’m calling The Subscription Box Diaries.  For me personally, I’d say it’s a combination of the reasons above that I decided to show off some options for all of you too! As you know, I’m doing a low dose of a GLP1 and have been losing some weight. I don’t really want to spend a ton of money buying new clothes but I also don’t want to do without. Especially as the seasons are changing and fall fashion is arriving, I thought the timing of this was good!  As I started looking for alternatives, I came across subscription boxes as a way to either rent some clothing items or try services to style me in some new clothing items. This series will give you a combination of bot...

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself

Image
Welcome to Curvy Girl on the Run! If you’re new around here, I’ve had this blog since 2013 and I’ve taken the last few years off to do more social media. I always knew that I’d be back here because my love of writing and still photography makes me so happy!  I started this blog back in the day to show off how a plus size woman lives and loves her life and to encourage all of you to do the same! It doesn’t matter your size! Get out there and be happy! The same applies today and will always apply. Life is too short to worry about the small things - even though I do it too!  This blog is all about lifestyle and fashion- what to wear, how to wear it, where to go, what to do, you get the idea! Follow me over on Instagram @curvygirlontherun and you’ll see reels and photos and can catch up from the last few years.  I’m still in Texas and boy is it hot! I will share some fall-ish looks soon but here it’s still as hot as the surface of the sun! We’re in the 90’s and 100’s every da...

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!

Sunday Style: Orange

Image
Happy Sunday! I thought I’d bring back a fun color series that I did a long time ago. I basically wear an outfit of a certain color and then talk about that color- what it means, etc.  This week is super special because I just got back from Hawai’i and I splurged and hired a professional photographer while I was there. Making memories is super important to me and taking pictures is one of my favorite things to do. These pictures are my souvenirs from the trip and I am so happy with them- I even did a bikini shoot that I am low key obsessed with!- more to come on that!  For today’s color, we are talking about orange. Orange is the color between red and yellow on the spectrum of visible light. Orange represents energy, vitality, excitement, adventure, warmth and good health. It’s no surprise that orange is one of my favorite colors to wear! It’s a vibrant color and commands attention! Orange is also a color that you’ll find on a lot of marketing as it grabs your attention and is...

Travel Tuesday: Waxahachie TX

Image
Look no further than Waxahachie for a cute little town in Texas to enjoy! It’s full of fun little shops- think antiques, candy, popcorn, boutiques and a soda shop!  Waxahachie has lots of examples of Victorian architecture and gingerbread- style homes. You’ll find many are bed and breakfasts here! You’ll also see the beautiful Richardson Romanesque courthouse in the middle of the downtown square.  My son and I love going to new little towns and exploring. It’s one of our new favorite things to do in Texas! There are so many cute little towns that we haven’t gotten to yet but Waxahachie has been on my list for a little while!  The town itself is small with a population of only about 43,000 people, it’s a small city with a big heart. It’s coined the “Crape Myrtle Capital of Texas” and boasts a beautiful downtown square with an old courthouse in the middle.  You’ll find plenty of places to explore and see nature as well as shops and places to eat. If antiques is your th...
