Friday February 6 - Wear Red Day

In recognition of our health curvy divas, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has declared tomorrow a day to wear red.  In 2002 the NIH created the Red Dress ® as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness.

Of course you can see why. The color red for our heart, somehow that color is associated with love and matters of the heart isn't it?!  Plus when you wear red, you are a force to be recon with. You feel bold, strong and beautiful.



The Heart Truth® created and introduced the Red Dress® as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002

It is very important to remember to eat healthy, exercise, even if it is just 15 minutes a day.  That is a start to getting yourself healthier.  Heart disease is a silent killer.  It often takes us by surprise.  We don't recognize it until it is too late.  Don't forget to share this information with your best girlfriend, your mom, aunty, teacher, neighbor, and remind them to go to the doctor for their physical; make that appointment now.  

Go to the NIH's website where you will see that lovely photo with these gorgeous women in red.  Get your best red dress, or suit, or jacket, hoodie...just do you and be healthy.  Now follow this link to read more about Wear Red Day and grab the toolkit if you want to perhaps, host an event...no, it is not too late, you can whip something up and celebrate in no time!  Or just think about it for next year!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

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!
