What the world sees

When it comes to us curvy divas, you know the world is looking at you wherever you go. Am I right, or am I right?  What, they don't do that to you?  Hmmm, that means you might need to amp it up a bit so that you can be remembered wherever you go!

What is the first thing that someone will notice about you when they meet you?  No, besides that gorgeous outfit that you're rocking!  The next thing they will remember is not whether you have fresh breath or not, it is how beautiful your skin is!  At any age, having great skin is one of the best thing any of us can do for ourselves.  The one thing I've always read is that if they do nothing else, most people will spend money, lots of it, on their skin!  

Guess where I was on Saturday morning?  At a hotel attending a Mary Kay event!  My daughters, Jessica and Amanda and I went over to the Holiday Inn Express in our neck of the woods where Jessica was invited to a morning of pampering by the gorgeous ladies of Mary Kay Cosmetics!  She invited us to go along with her!

In attendance were several brides to be with their guests, and the hostesses of the event, Adriane, Lisa and Heather from Mary Kay Cosmetics.  They are trying to see how many facials they can do in 30 days!!!  They have quite a competition going on! We walked in and were greeted enthusiastically by our hosts who made us feel quite at home!  Then were given Mimosas....of the virgin variety!

A refreshing drink! (refilled however many times you want too!)








We completed a survey card so that they could have an idea of what our skin type was and the type of makeup we like.  






For the next two hours we experienced the use of their skin products and learned what not to do to our skin, and what we could use to make it look so much better!




By the time we were finished, our skins were soft and glowing!   There was some competitiveness going on to see which of the attendees could collect the most raffle tickets so we could win give-a-ways!


At the end of the event we were given a sample of their skin lotion.  I walked away with a smile on my face and with my skin glowing!  I loved that they didn't pressure anyone into buying anything, that was totally up to each of us!  If you ever get an invite to go to one of these events curvy divas, do go!  It will turn out to be a fabulous experience!

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

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! ...
