Day Five: Happy TGIF a bit Later

OMG, we're at the "9th" hour of Friday and I'm so late in posting this article which I am writing as I "speak"! I recorded a video vlog earlier today to post as an update before I posted the last article for this week's blog-scavenger hunt but alas, sometimes life just gets in the way! Oy!

Firstly, I had to go to the docs to get a check up because of some flare up issues with my upper back. Yikes, I've been feeling really yucky on and off and have put off doing what needs to be done and decided, now it must be done. Now I'm supposed to take all these meds and I'm like, "Really"? I hate taking pills! Then the nurse prior to me seeing the doc told me my weight and I was like "Really"? Nooooooo! No seriously NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oy!

You know I've not been working out as often as before and that usually keeps me in shape and toned and now.....nope sir gotta get back to it, but since this discussion is for my Foreverserenity blog and not this one, on that note, I will end this conversation here. But in the meantime, do go see your doctor should you sense something is wrong or you have been avoiding going in to see what is wrong. I talk about this all of the time on my lifestyle blog and I'm reminding you here as well my curvy divas.

So, this is the last of the articles for this week's and this 3-year annivesary scavenger hunt. Hmmm, next year I'm going to see what I will do next!lol!

I enjoyed doing this and I do hope you did too. I will leave Day Five's write up until sunday when I will hopefully be able to do a drawing of the raffle and will put that results on the blog on Monday. So, do get your responses in to me by 12 Noon Eastern/US time on Sunday, May 30th! And we will have a Blogversary article up as well that day! I'm excited about the anniversary article because I've written it in a different style this year. I love the movies, and I love award shows and I've done something along that line...kind of! You have to stay tune to read it and I do hope you will enjoy it when it's out!

I can't wait to receive your emails my highest purpose at donnaandcompany at yahoo.com. Remember, use all of the words and/or phrases you have taken note of from all of the articles. And the last words are somewhere here in this very article. Also, the clue for you to see where the actual phrase is....nope, not that easy, go hunt for it somewhere on our fan page. I don't have to tell you where our fan page is now do I?! lol! Thank you so much for playing! Stay tune for the blog below.

Each day, for the next five days, I will include a word or phrase in each article I publish for this entire week. You will put it all together and send the sentence or quote from those words as the answer in an email to donnaand company at yahoo dot com. Now find the word or phrase in this article and make a note of it.

Come on, join in the fun with me.

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! ...

Society's Never-ending Debate - Who is Plus Sized?

The debate continues about women who are curvier, heavier, plus sized...whatever your favorite terminology is for women who are not Size 0-14, or in the fashion world, Sizes X0-4! In 2014 I wrote about Designers who were confused about what plus size is and who also didn't want to dress women who were larger than a size 0. Once again in 2016, this debate that constantly has us, full-figured, curvy women, being pitted against the woman who is a size zero or regular size is still an issue today because of the Fashion Models being used by Designers in their fashion shows, the looks of these women being deemed as Plus Size are just not plus size. These days most Designers are also refusing to dress actresses ( Melissa McCarthy , and most recently Leslie Jones ) who are not a size zero is such a thoughtless thing, this kind of insensitivity must end.
