What the world sees

When it comes to us curvy divas, you know the world is looking at you wherever you go. Am I right, or am I right?  What, they don't do that to you?  Hmmm, that means you might need to amp it up a bit so that you can be remembered wherever you go!

What is the first thing that someone will notice about you when they meet you?  No, besides that gorgeous outfit that you're rocking!  The next thing they will remember is not whether you have fresh breath or not, it is how beautiful your skin is!  At any age, having great skin is one of the best thing any of us can do for ourselves.  The one thing I've always read is that if they do nothing else, most people will spend money, lots of it, on their skin!  

Guess where I was on Saturday morning?  At a hotel attending a Mary Kay event!  My daughters, Jessica and Amanda and I went over to the Holiday Inn Express in our neck of the woods where Jessica was invited to a morning of pampering by the gorgeous ladies of Mary Kay Cosmetics!  She invited us to go along with her!

In attendance were several brides to be with their guests, and the hostesses of the event, Adriane, Lisa and Heather from Mary Kay Cosmetics.  They are trying to see how many facials they can do in 30 days!!!  They have quite a competition going on! We walked in and were greeted enthusiastically by our hosts who made us feel quite at home!  Then were given Mimosas....of the virgin variety!

A refreshing drink! (refilled however many times you want too!)








We completed a survey card so that they could have an idea of what our skin type was and the type of makeup we like.  






For the next two hours we experienced the use of their skin products and learned what not to do to our skin, and what we could use to make it look so much better!




By the time we were finished, our skins were soft and glowing!   There was some competitiveness going on to see which of the attendees could collect the most raffle tickets so we could win give-a-ways!


At the end of the event we were given a sample of their skin lotion.  I walked away with a smile on my face and with my skin glowing!  I loved that they didn't pressure anyone into buying anything, that was totally up to each of us!  If you ever get an invite to go to one of these events curvy divas, do go!  It will turn out to be a fabulous experience!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Love Wedges? How to wear them!

I have this thing with heels that when I mention it to anyone, they look at me as if I'm weird.  I have to, HAVE TO wear heels, at least 80% of the time.    The reason why I have to wear heels a lot is because I'm flat-footed. Yes, I have very low arch , so low that if I wear flats for two to three days straight without any height in heel, my feet will hurt and then I have to wear heels to make my feet feel better. Weird, or a more serious condition? Who knows?!   I wear heel height from 4inches to 6 inches! Nope, I haven't mastered the 7inch heel, and I won't even try.  As a curvy girl, a six-inch heel is the height where I stop! I like wedges, high heels, and stiletto heels.  With some platform heels, popularly called wedges, the heel can be low, or high; however, the main thing is, the heel will balance the height of the heel so that you can walk with confidence!      On about.com, Desiree Stimpe...

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.
