After reaching out to Kimberley Dolson, I received an invite to Curve Nation's Kickoff Welcome Reception this Friday, July 11th! Of course I jumped at the opportunity.  This happening event is being lauded as Curve Nation's first Annual Plus Size Expohosted by plus model and star of Curvy Girls on NUVOtv, the fabulous Rosie Mercado.

Why did I say exponential?  Well, just look at the planned activitieswho will be making appearances and what they will be sharing with attendees to the conference and expo!  

Lifetime’s Double Divas, Molly Hopkins and Cynthia Decker of LiviRae Lingeriewill speak about breast health and how to fit our undergarments, yes, those bras can be a handful (pun intended)!  

Kelly Glover, media personality and blogger of BigCurvyLove.com and creator of the project 50 Fat Dateswill share about sex, dating and the plus size woman.

You will be able to shop, attend a pool party, a fashion show, and have a massage for your tired, but happy feet.  There will be experts on hand to offer health assessments as well, kind of like a one-stop bee-hive of activities geared to all of us!

On Saturday night, get your party on by attending Curve Nation’s Curves in Paradise Party, and a meet and greet with Rosie Mercado; CEO and Founder of Full Figured Fashion Week, Gwen DeVoe, whom I've had the pleasure of "interviewing" (by email) for an article write up I did earlier this year, will also be launching the next phase of her career at this event. This is the last year DeVoe will be presenting Full Figured Fashion Week in New York - (angels out there, I want to be at this event).  At the Expo, she will be speaking on personal branding and discussing what she has learned touring the country scouting models for Full Figured Fashion Week.  DeVoe will also be filming the first episode of her new talk show, Mogul Moments.

It is wonderful to note that Curve Nation has partnered with Dress for Success of Greater Orlando, who has a major need for work appropriate suits and separates for women sizes 14 and overA silent auction will be held and donations are being accepted. All proceeds will go to the charity.

So hop on the bandwagon curvy divas & gents who love us, check out the registration for the Expo includes swag bag with samples and other items provided by sponsors and vendors, among other things!

Think of the connections you can and will make when you attend the Curve Nation Plus Size Community Expo.  It's a great way to learn more about our plus-size community! So, tell me, is that exponential or what?!!!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
