Hey Babes Its been a minute, but i trust you dolls are good ☺ So spring is in full blossom and we getting ready for the summer of 2016/17. This summer seems like its going to be hot and why not add to the temperature by looking ravishing in your swimsuits from at Donna Fashion. Donna Fashion always has the best swim wear collection and the way it's designed is to give you that extra support amd it makes you feel more comfortable in your skin.

So as I'm looking at my heading it comes to mind, whenever you see on a magazine The Body Issue it will be filled with ways to loose weight and be skinny, they try to push it as being healthy when all they doing is trying to brainwash us in thinking we all need to look a specific way...  Being plus does not mean you are unhealthy Being plus does not mean you ain't beautiful honey  Being plus does not mean you are not acceptable  This is what is acceptable to me.  Live an active lifestyle,drink water and make good choices with food.  You are beautiful regardless of what society says Accept yourself and live life to the fullest.  Recently I did a shoot in the nude with  unlimitedcreations  Jonathan the photographer was so amazing and totally made me feel at ease.  There comes a point where we all need to look at our Bodies and Be happy, Look in the mirror and tell yourselves how beautiful  You are .. Some of the Photoshoot pics has been posted on the Un-limited Crea

Hello, Loves I had the most amazing oppurtunity to walk the runway at The Night Of Queens Event, I walked in the showcase for designer Melissa Europa for her clothing line called Meleur. I wanted to know more about this Fierce, Powerfull plus size designer as her clothes speaks to all woman out there, everything is designed to show of your curves and not hide them. Melissa is so passionate about normalizing plus bodies and that's exactly what I'm about... I got some answers you were seeking and you are in for a treat below Tell me About Melissa Europa? I was born and raised in Mitchells Plain. My mother died when I was 11 years of age, but I carry her creativity in my blood, as she too was an artist. I grew up fast, hustled young and now I’m here. But I am grateful for the family that stuck by me, the friends that never made me feel out of place and friends’ parents who took the liberty and help raise me. I thank God for always being by my side. When did

Oh as per heading I'm sure you can see which way this is heading :) On Saturday morning I woke up and got ready for my Photo Shoot with Jonathan from Un_Limited Creations. I knew I wanted to do something daring and completely break all the boundries. When i entered the studio I actually pinched myself and said the F word a couple of times in my head cause i knew what was coming... Some Background: Most people that know me are aware growing up I was the weird skinny bony girl I was very sickly as I was born prematurely, when I was 16 I was diagnosed with a syndrome (won't go into detail now) but my life got very depressing and with the treatment I was on I just started packing on the pounds. For a period I was ridiculed and made fun of even some teachers would have jabs, I was a cheerleader and very active and they were all confused about the weight gain. Body Shaming became an everyday thing for me and at that moment it didn't affect me that much cause i was dealing

So I was listening to Beyonce's previous album and the song Super Power stayed stuck in my head ... here is a part of the lyrics And when I'm standing in this mirror After all these years What I'm viewing is a little different From what your eyes show ya I guess I didn't see myself before ya Moving forward And it was like I had a light bulb moment and I realised how much authority and power we give others over our lives. Looking in the mirror should be a joyous occasion everytime you see yourself it's should be a celebration of how great you are. So I tapped in to me Super Powers of Self love and I actually put a Cape on :) Now knowing me my Cape can't be no ordinary cape it's full of sparkle hahahahaha.. I've come up with my super hero name and yes its a bit cliche but makes sense to me  .. Selflove Woman ... and my super power is to spread self love where ever I go. What most women don't understand that it's ok to wake up and look in

I am Her!! I am Strong I am a Warrior I am of the lineage of Super Woman And I yes I can do whatever I set my mind to  .... Wow my mantra, my motivation is me because I am Her .... I have been extremley quiet on my blog as I had to decide which path I want to take and the direction of my Blog   After all these months I have decided that my Blog will fully focus on Body Confidence as I believe all women suffer at times with Body shaming and it's good to have a place to go to where we all belong  I have seen alot of woman even myself being shattered by people pin pointing your faults and sadly the circumstances we live in it may seem if you not a size 0 you do not belong I believe that all women no matter your size are perfect and designed by your maker to live a happy and full life . We should not allow anyone authority over our lives and we should never live it on others terms .. Yes we all have a I'm an fat day or even a I am skinny day ... I am urging us to rather

Happy Saturday So it was my sisters big day on the 26 December, her wedding day. With things being so hectic i discovered on the day that i really had nothing to wear (as in really) Since it was a public holiday i knew most stores were operating and i woke up bright and early and ventured to Canal Walk. As this was like the day you can imagine how stressed i was to find the perfect dress. I was looking for something Chic yet very comfortable as i knew lots of running around will be taking place (and yes it did hahaha) When i entered the mall i almost got carried away as i just saw SALE!!!! everywhere hahaha... So i snapped out of it and regained focus. First shop that caught my attention was Miladys and being Curve Size i knew they stock amazing dresses in their Renee Taylor range, to my surprise there was a 25% dicount on all Renee Taylor items .. Yay Me!!! A very stylish Maxi Dress caught my attention and it was love at first sight further more looking at the shoes i fou
