My Quick Fix for a Tired Look

The other day I woke up feeling really tired. Have you ever had a moment like that curvy divas? I had only 3 hours, yes, 1-2-3 hours of sleep. I was TIRED! I had to get up and face my day and I had to go to work. After my shower it was time to put a mad-dash-slap of make up on (read: put on make up in 5 mins. or less) and wondered what I could do to make the tired me go away!

I put my makeup base on all over and blend as I usually do, then I put my under-eye concealer on and blend, blend. What's next,

hmmmm......I looked at my concealer and then thought....."....put it on my eyelid....?" I did. Do you know what happened next? After blending and completing my makeup, my eyes were alert, and I looked less tired than I did! AMAZEBALLS!!!

The look lasted the entire day at work, when I got home I was amazed at how wide-awake I looked!

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair. I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red. I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL! Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with. I cannot be really "loud" with my hair. In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future". Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29 where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event! The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
