Curvy Confidence:Remember The Three R's


I'm reclaiming myself on this day that is usually Throwback Thursday curvy divas. It is nice to look back and see how far you have come, to remember what you once were, that is, in thinking, how you felt, the position or place you were at whatever moment in time.


It is a great feeling when you see how much you have grown, how you are and what you will be, meeting your destiny.  As women we get "hit" from so many corners of our lives. The media, our friends who mean well, but somehow will sometimes discourage your growth, our spouses and/or special person who often take us for granted, or can't see us for who we really are; or who we are supposed to be.  Society tosses their habits, denials, expectations, rules, all and sundry at us and we are supposed to hang our heads in shame and step back into the shells that enclose us.


Do you remember as children you were told about the Three Rs, Arithmetic, Reading and Writing? I believe that terminology is still around today.  I propose a new way of thinking for our grown up selves.  Today I say make this Thursday and all Thursdays going forward, positivity ThursdayIt is, and should be everyday, your day to shine because you are Resilient, Radiant and Receptive (The Three Rs).


Resilient – For your ability to recover quickly from adversary. No matter who or what comes at you on any given day or at any time. Yes you will hurt from the pain of negativity. But you will be even stronger to shine bright like a flame. #resilientme


Radiant – You emanate joy, love, and health.  You are your true authentic self; discovering who you are meant to be. You wear your fashion with grace and fierceness. #feelingfierce


Receptive – You are ready to receive and accept. You are flexible, approachable, responsive and accepting of new ideas and thoughts.  You can choose your own word here such as #open, #approachable, #accessible etc.
Whatever it is, make it your own and let's be positive going forward with #positivitythursday!

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
