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!

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.
