Beach Ready Products

As the really hot summer weather is coming up soon curvy divas, your minds will drift off to vacation-time and seeing the ocean might be in your travel plans!  I love going to the beach. I sit on the sand, play with my daughter and run into the sea, a lot!  I also like walking on the sand where the waves will roll around my feet...hmmm, I can just imagine it now!

One of the things that I dislike about the beach however, is getting sand in my hair...yes, I know that's a given and I tolerate it if and when it happens.  I also don't like having dry salt water for too long on my skin because of the dryness & itch that ensues!

I was reading The Zoe Report on thezoereport.com and what perfect timing, Rachel featured some products that would be great to use for those Beach days!  She features a Bumble & Bumble Surf Creme Rinse Conditioner and Foam Wash Shampoo.  They are made with body-enhancing minerals and skin softening sea botanicals, sea fennel & kelp.

$24 & $25 at bumbleandbumble.com




She also mentions Marc Anthony True Professional Sea-waves shampoo!  This one is at a more price-conscious cost of $8!


Listed at drugstore.com for $7.99!



Rachel also recommended Kate Somerville Body Glow sunscreen!

$45 on Neiman Marcus.com


After the beach and showering you need a good lotion to repair your dry skin and any damages from the sun.  This wasn't mentioned in her beach article, however I found this one in another article link here: Spa repairing body butter!


Listed for $9.99 at dermstore.com




For me personally, having good moisturizing hair products and a good lotion are key to having a great beach day!

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

I like reviewing my Style-looks to see how my fashion has progressed, what clothing I intend to keep during my #Showmeyourcloset make over (more on this soon) and also just in case I have to re-think my style strategy when in work-mode. There are good days when my looks are on pointe, and those moments when I wonder what the heck was I thinking with a look that I wore! That may have happened to you as well at times curvy divas?! You know, when the clothing you wore makes you go...WTF?!  This was not how I envisioned this look. I can't wait to get home to take it off!lol! Been there, done that so many times! haha

Vintage Vogue

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....! I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below. These were my  favorite looks from a  Vogue  magazine issue from August 2006 , six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love  flipping  through the pages!  These  looks are so fresh today !!  Vogue  featured the color combination of  "The  Red  is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time!
