Fabulously Curvy Nominated for The Liebster Award




Fabulously Curvy has been nominated by a fellow Blogger whom we love to follow, our local royalty, Princess Kaija of the blog, The Life and Adventures of Princess Kaija.  She was also nominated for her work and as graciously given me the nod which we gladly accept.

We love the adventure of getting "out and about" and meeting new bloggers and writers and we gladly follow back.  Thank you Kaija for thinking us worthy of the Liebster Awards. Forgive us for the late "acceptance speech".  Life has been inundated with family-life, exams & presentations, since we're in the world of students again, and research for our new looks on the blog.


 Without further ado, I will use the same questions Kaija responded to on her blog that I linked above.  

 One of the rules of this award is to answer 11 questions about 
myself and my blog. I hope this will help for you to get to know me better! Here are the Q's and A's:

 1. Where does your blogging inspiration come from?

 I am inspired by what I read on and off line.  

 2. Is your blogging simply a hobby? What kind of dreams do you have for it?

 It has been a hobby for a while now.  Because of my love for what I do, writing, sharing and meeting new people, I have began to transition into a business.


 3.  What is your support system like and who are your biggest supporters?

 I'm a working mom and wife. I like to interact with other bloggers some of whom have been great to collaborate with. Offline my children are old enough to give me their opinions and my hubby is a great help as well.
4. What are 10 random facts about you?

  1. I'm speechless!  Not my usual way to be right?! I'm trying to think of anything random...lol! I do share on my blogs so hopefully I don't repeat myself.
  2. I'm a comic fan. I do love to read some of them, and especially love the movies but I'm not a hardcore fan where I will dress up or cite quotes.
  3. I want to attend Comic Con when it happens in Orlando next year.
  4. My son likes comics too. He's been to Comic Con twice already, including to the most recent one that took place this year.
  5. I'm thinking of cutting my hair really short. 
  6. I color my hair myself.
  7. I am back in school after so many years! 
  8. I am wearing contact lenses for the very first time.
  9. I fell asleep with my contact lenses in recently.  It was a bit scary because my eyes were so dry when I woke up, I was scared they wouldn't come out, but they did.
  10. I love to dance.
  11. I am more comfortable in heels than flats.

 5.  What do you enjoy most about blogging?

 Being able to share information that my readers might not have known about. 

 6. What do you do when you feel overwhelmed with too many tasks at once?

 I pitch a fit!lol! Sometimes...no, seriously. I take a step back.  I will then sort out what has to be done first, and take it from there.

 7. What would you do with a large sum of money given to you?

 Oh that beach house is calling my name!  I would definitely travel too. I would also put some of my goals into effect.

 8. What was one of the most moving books or movies you have ever seen?

 "Remember Me" with Pierce Brosnan and Robert Pattinson. Go watch it if you haven't...get the hankies ready at the end!

 9. Where would you like to see yourself in the next couple of years?

 In my dream career, doing what I love the most.

 10. Do you have a bucket list? Name 5 things on that.
  1. See the Eiffel Tower
  2. Visit Europe....especially, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Britain
  3. Fly in an helicopter. I sat in one and it was awesome. Next time, take off!
  4. Get myself ready to launch! (more on that another time)
  5. Write a book

 11. What is your single best piece of advice for someone starting out in the blogging world?

Just do it.  Focus on what they like and not worry about anyone else.  Also, when the days get rough at times and they're ready to throw in the towel, remember why they started their blog in the first place and smile.

Whew~ I did it!  Now for the next part of this award acceptance. I have to nominate 11 Awesome Bloggers!  I'm still checking out those nominated by the Princess.

The bloggers I must choose should have less than 200 followers.  If any of my choices are over 200 in following, I hope you will like them too anyway!  I believe some of my blogger-friends have been too busy off-line to make an appearance. But they're among the ones I like to read and they fit into the category nicely, so I'm posting links to them as well.

Found: The TShirt Dress

I found myself at the Mall of Millenia, a high-end mall the other day, Amanda and I went on a little adventure at which I was very excited. This mall is a bit farther away from us so we don't get there as often. It was about time I visited H&M...oh my love for that store has increased!!!  While I was there, I wanted to grab a handful of clothing and run to the fitting room, but I had a hard time finding my size.  Where were the larger sizes for us curvy girls??!!  I thought there was a sectioned for plus size-didn't see if one and couldn't find sizes for me. Jersey Maxi Dress w/raw edges at arms & slit It was a busy place so I couldn't ask anyone who worked there (I saw so few employees), but the store was pretty busy... however after looking around, I saw a dress I liked, a large was the largest size, I picked one in each color, a black and a grey;  it was a tee-shirt style, cotton-jersey material; with a round neckline and a slit that had me won...

So Those have lasted quite a long time!

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...
