Tonight is Curves En Blanc! Every year, @mauibigelow kicks off @lifestyledhonors with her annual all -white party and I’m so happy she’s gone digital this year because I love rocking out with my blogger boos! Plus, this year @tyalexander is on the ones and twos, so I’m def getting my swerve on tonight! In true #CurvesEnBlanc fashion, I had to get my looks from @lanebryant , the presenting partner for Curves En Blanc! I posted the white longline bra the other day and got a lot inquiries, so had to put my twist on it. Head to my stories to get your looks today! Either way, I hope I see y’all at tonight’s part! I put the link to the Zoom Virtual Party in my bio! Can’t wait to see your looks! (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XbYFBBJ8y/?igshid=1lfu0p081oaws

Since 2012, I’ve been an avid thrifter. Consignment shops are God’s gift to my pockets. And wearing something that once belonged to someone else doesn’t make me feel ashamed. The benefits of thrifting always include having something that no one else has. Also, tapping into that vintage side. But today, on Earth Day, thrifting means so much more. Sustainable fashion is important in reducing our carbon footprint! That’s why one of my go-to places is @marylouscloset1 ! Ashley created her online Thriftique to honor the passing of her very fashionable grandmother. Today she carries lots of plus size pieces that are one of a kind. For instance my blazer and polka tank are both from her store! Also— if you’re a size 11 12 or 12.5 in shoes, she has GREAT deals! Check out her store and live sustainably ❤️♻️♻️🌍 #plussize #plussizefashion #plussizethrift #plussizethrifting #plussizethriftstore #thrifting #thriftingfinds https://www.instagram.com/p/B_TDgLuBFip/?igshid=1330fku52vydm

This time, last year, I was selected to go on a trip to @essencefest with @eloquii ! It was such a memorable time for me. 2019 was such a rough year for me and this collaboration with Eloquii was the highlight of my year. I got to learn more about a brand that I’ve been shopping at for years (and I’m guilty of catching one of their sales today, lol), experience New Orleans, and make some historical connections to Haiti. I’m so sad that Essence Fest is cancelled this year but when there are lives at stake, the tough decisions have to be made. Til then, I’ll be on Eloquii’s website picking out my next dressing room chronicles! #xoq (at Essence Festival New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_P_TYPBx-v/?igshid=1drk50ucz6xww

In IDGAF if no body cares news: I’m happy to say my knees are finally cooperating with me! In September 2019, I suffered a painful knee injury which resulted in me being immobile for a month, and then a painful recovery thereafter. When I arrived at 355 lbs, I knew it I had truly ga Ben up on myself. While I was ready to pretty much submit to the new lifestyle, @ojfit_ never gave up on me. He understands the human body and resilience. He’s helping me build up all the muscle groups around my injury, and now my fitness and health journey is back on track. Going to therapy, learning about the nutrients that go into my body, and regular movement truly make for a balanced lifestyle. In the midst of a pandemic, I’m learning that life is still going— no mater how much it feels like life is at a standstill. Everyday is a new day, glass half full over here!

Feeling groovy baby! Yes, I still get dressed and take pictures around my house or grandma’s house because that’s what normalcy feels like to me! Outfit: @modcloth #mymodcloth (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CtmKdh7xj/?igshid=q8tvri4sw20a

Bloggers: Are y’all doing photoshoots in and around your house? Or posting pics from me pre-quarantine? Either way— get out, enjoy yourself and keep showing up. I decided to play dress up three times a week, while talking to my neighbors (unfortunately, some of these people I’ve never seen before. In fact, I saw @lladnar1 for the first time in MONTHS). Although we’re speaking from windows and across the street, I’m finally feeling like I have caring neighbors. Anywho, I just wrote blogpost on 5 Reasons Why It’s Still Normal to Dress Up and Look Nice during Quarantining.

Anyone else guilty of thinking a couple makeup wipes will clean your face properly at the end of the night? I’ve been practicing my makeup technique every day...EVERYDAY but the makeup wipes are cutting it, especially now that I’m starting to break out (my pores are probably clogged). If anyone So check out the steps I take to ensure I get all the makeup out of my pores. Side note, no need to scrub your face super hard...especially around the eyes unless you enjoy black circles. 1. Makeup Remover Wipe 2. @thayersnatural Witch Hazel 3. @yangubeauty Cleansing Whip (super soft on your skin, use facial scrub brush) 4. @beautycounter Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil 5. Your favorite night serum, one of mine is @nipandfab Dragon’s Blood Fix Plumping Serum. Then use a frozen Jade Roller to helping the product penetrate as deeply as possible while also boosting blood and lymphatic circulation." 6. @laneige_us Lip Sleeping Mask (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4cdVaBzTC/?igshid=1tgh26jj7kzml
