Where have I been?

So the summer is almost over and soon it will be back to school or work if you had a summer vacation. Speaking of summer vacations, I spent mine in Antigua. Although there were some bad press about the island this summer, my vacation went unscathed. Carnival is usually scheduled late July to early August and boy was it a blast! I got involved in most of the activities visiting the Local Carnival Queen Show and the Jaycees Caribbean Queen Show. The Party and Groovy Monarch Show and Lions which is a tradition for every carnival season.

I went on a boat ride and I was sailing the beautiful clear waters of Antigua and Barbuda. I visited Bird Island, went hiking and got a sun tan and a sun burn all in one day. Never forget to use sunblock, I did and it was not pretty. Anyway back to the boatride, it was amazing and is also recommended.

So you gained a little weight...

What now? Guess what, the weight is already there so its time to work with it!!! I always say, why not dress to distract the attention from the negative parts and focus on the positive parts. If you have nice legs, let work with your legs. Lets highlight them with some heels to elongate the legs until the area that needs work is back to where you feel most comfortable. Also if your midsection is your area of concern, lets get some free flowing dresses or tops and cover it up! Remember, NEVER STAY HOME AND SULK! It only makes the situation worst. Instead, go out and get a new hairstyle, put on some make-up and make sure your fingers and toes are nicely polished. Once all of those positive "distractions" are in place, you have absolutely nothing to worry about! People will be so fucused on your new hairstyle that you will not have to explain the extra 5lbs or 10lbs you gained. So smile, love yourself no matter what and remember you ARE beautiful!

Hey where were you?

Hello my loyal readers. I was away from my blog for a while catching up on a few things and getting into alot of new career ventures. Since the last time I updated my blog, I was asked to model by one of the designers featured on PDiddy's Rip The Runway, Qristyl Frazier of Qristyl Frazier Designs. The story was a bit of a farytail where I accompanied a friend of mine to a show where plus sized models went to audition for a spot on DSE-TV a new television show for plus sized fashion, modeling etc. Qristyl Frazier had a sample sale where I was getting busy shopping and it happened just like that! I was asked to model for her. My first show is on July 18th at Wall Street. I will keep you posted of the time and exact location. In the mean time, check out http://www.qristylfrazierdesigns.com/ to see some of the clothing that I may be modeling.

Hey Sexy Lips

On numerous occaisions I hear the phrase "hey sexy lips"or "beautiful lips" and sometimes "those are some...." well you can imagine. Girls my secret is to always moisturize even when you are sleeping or I should say especially when you are sleeping. Please do not use chapstick! At least stay away from it unless you have nothing else. It is waxy and does not let your lips breath. If used in the day, it tends to form a 'spit line' around the lips which is not very attractive. My favorite lip gloss that I use for moisturizing is actually being phased out by Victorias Secret. However another recommendation is NARS which is sold by Sephora. It may be a little pricey, but is worth every penny. My lipstick recommendations are outlined in an earlier post below. For sleeping use good old vaseline and keep those lips succulent.

Negative or Positive?

You know there are some people who MUST say nasty things to you just to make themselves feel better? With friends like that you can do two things, you can choose to let the negative comments keep you down or you can choose to make the negative comments remind you that you are so awesome that you make someone so bitter. Guess what, choose the latter! If someone is constantly giving you negative remarks, that is someone you need to keep away from. Always remember that you must be something really great to make that negative person so insecure.

Love yourself and always remain positive!

Lets talk about the feet

Girls, get a pedicure! It summer time and the sandals are all coming out from the back of the closet. Before that happens, make sure your feet are ready. Speaking to a male friend of mine, he hates it when a woman looks unkept but mostly the feet must be prepared for the summer time, size healthy or not!

Some tips for soft feet. Use a small bit of vaseline or lotion and massage your feet. Put some socks on and go to sleep. Once you wake, your feet will be soft and beautiful in the morning.
