Zumba: Join the P A R T Y!

Soooooo, please know this...

I am plus-sized, and I love every curve and crevice on my body..but I still want to be more H E A L T H Y...that is all.

With that being said, I did some research on the best route to take to get to where I want to be at a comfortable pace and actually stick to it. It seems the key to all of is is M O T I V A T I O N. So this is what I can up with, with a little bit of help from my BF...

I'm gonna get up in the morning time and do about 30 minutes of....

and as I progress, for every 10lbs that I lose, I'll be gifted with a new pair of....

NOW IF THAT'S NOT MOTIVATION THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS!!!!!

LOL..seriously though, I'm changing the way I eat and my very crazy sleeping habits also. This will be taken seriously, because I'm serious about being healthy. But please know, I WILL ALWAYS BE A KURVY GIRL!! soooo until I update you with my progress....

Hair Cannnnnn-day!!

Sooooo as you all know my hair is natural, and i really don't do a lot with it but ball it up in the back and call it a day. But as we all know, the best thing to make the most out of your African roots is to add some G L A M to it!!

I previewed these headbands for my upcoming online store, and I liked them so much I decided to add them to the hair candy collection, I have more ,and they are now available for a whoppin' $3.00 each!! E-mail me for details HERE!

♥In Kurvy News

One of my all-time F A V O R I T E kurvy ladies, Ms. Queen Latifah is debuting her fashion called the “The Queen Collection”.

♥ Big Big B R I D A L Bliss

SoOoOoO on April 29^th  TLC’s, SAY YES TO THE DRESS: BIG BLISS premiered. This is actually the 2^nd  Season. The  1^st season originally aired last year on Oct. 1^st.

Taped inside premier bridal salon Kleinfeld Bridal, each half-hour episode follows the emotional journey of plus-size brides as they shop to fulfill their dream dress fantasy.

 I haven’t missed any episode! I loved the show before “Big Bliss” aired, so O F  C O U R S E I love it even more now!!

I’d love to visit Kleinfelds one day, perhaps on a field trip while I’m visiting NY next summer. :o)

(Below) I’ve added some of the brides & the dresses that were on the show,  Don’t you just L O V E these dresses?!?!

♥Hair There, Hair E V E R Y W H E R E

So maybe you've noticed that my hair is N A T U R A L E. I've actually been natural for 4 years now. I became natural by accident!! I was getting the usual creamy crack put in and then it was time to wash it out, W E L P,my hair came out with it. I didn't panic, maybe it was just meant to be. I'm not really big on the whole natural hair thing, so please be surprised when I blog about it! LOL

Hopefully, *crossing fingers*, I'll be featuring some hair accessories and earrings from some very talented people!

(Below) A couple of my F A V E products and some pics of my hair, ENJOY!

Great Moisture Lock!

Works wonders on my Curls! I use this for my twist styles.

Nothing in my hair, just conditioner from the previous day.

My fave quick hairstyle, fresh wash, brush back, clip and G O!

Got my hair straightened and my ends chop chopped :o)

 That is all for now, lately i've been B O R E D with my hair. I need more ideas on what to do?!?!

♥Closer to my D R E A M S

Sooooooo my  D R E A M that I don't really share with a lot of people is tooooooo *drum roll please*..to own my very own KURVY BRIDAL SALON. It's not a fun experience for most KURVY ladies to go into a bridal salon to find their dress, because 9 times out of 10, THEY DON'T CARRY THEIR SIZE! If they do, then being comfortable to try it on, is so out of the question. I just want to create an atmosphere for the Kurvy to be COMFORTABLE and most of all CONFIDENT in purchasing their dress for a very special moment in their life.

 I don't talk about this to a lot of people because I value my dream and if someone was to talk down on it, then it would be very bad....for them.jk. On a serious note, I also draw & design a lot of fashions that I want to come to life sooner than later.(I will be uploading some for you to see soon.) I'm just putting G O D 1st and taking it one step at a time.

I also want a KURVY DRESS SHOP, just for dresses and elegant tops.

(Below) I'm posting a couple of salons to look at...J U S T B E C A U S E :o)

Oh yea, I'm going to go see 'Bridesmaids' when it  comes out and I can't wait to share my movie review!! YAYY!!

♥ Maybe it's Maybellineeee: F A L S I E S

I friggin' L O V E this Mascara, for me P E R S O N A L L Y, it works wonders! I've also seen and talked to a lot of people who hates it but EVERYTHING ISN'T FOR EVERYBODY. I'm not one to run and buy things just because it has a commercial, but I got a little caught up because the tube is P U R P L E.

(Below) Getting ready for a H O T D A T E & mall trip, I took a couple of pics E N J OY. The compact in my hand has no meaning in my life..it's used only for the mirror!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, i'm a N A T U R A L B E A U T Y, and I've been growing my natural hair for almost 4 years now! Got the dress ($7) from Ross and the cover-up ($8) also.

♥Red Zebras

I'm not a hugeeee fan of Zebra Print, but when it's worn, I like it best with R E D! I've seen a lot of people put different colors on it, but T O M E only red does it justice.

(Below) These are just a few things that I found and L O V E D, of course I wouldn't put those earrings with THAT dress but I LOVE THEM NONETHELESS!!

Dress: Monif C.  $458( No longer being sold)
Earrings: Forever21 $3.50
 Shoes: ...Some Random Website...IDK..they resembled the ones I wore BELOW..

I'm good for having T H E M E D  B I R T H D A Y  O U T I N G S, so one year we did of course..R E D Z E B R A!! I have to tell you a S E C R E T about that "dress" that i'm wearing later...E N J O Y the pics first..LOL :o)

Me ♥ (I cropped my cousin Teesha out..sorry Beesha!..LOL)

They did it just for ME!! Awwwwww

Heather and I. I A B S O L U T E L Y ♥ HEATHER and will be sharing her BlogSite, SoTenacious, with you guys very soon! Peep her E A R R I N G S!

Sooooooo even though i'm hanging out of my dress, (SOMEBODY COULD HAVE TUCKED THAT IN FOR ME..LOL) I had a very fun night. Oh yea the SECRET!! That "dress" originally had a bra-like top that I cut off, which in return looked like an over-sized skirt. Sooo I pulled it up over the twins and made it apart of the R E D Z E B R A collection.
