The Fight of A Fit Phatty
Hey girlies! Its been a while since I’ve chatted with you! I hope all is good these days. For the past year I’ve been 75% serious about living a healthier lifestyle, HA! I say 75% because I will go hard for a few weeks and take an over-extended break. Honestly the exercising isn’t my biggest issue. My problem is……FOOD! I love food; not for nutrition, not to live, but merely the taste lol.The struggle has been real. No I havent lost a significant amount of weight, but I feel better and I can see the physical changes! I had two kids 19 months apart, and the last one was via…

Sistalove: Not Just For Sandra Bland Or Bobbi Christina: For You Too
Sistalove is a hashtag that I use on almost all of my posts. Not that all of the things I post are about women who are blood relatives, but everything I post is about uplifting and empowering the female collective. This sistalove is about the sisterhood that is defined as a society or community of women linked by common interests, religion, trade, or environment. This is the Sistalove that takes work. It’s this Sistalove that requires us to remember that little girl that inside us that needs to know she’s worthy. In the last few days there has been an overall sentiment ( which I share) of condolences and sympathy…

Full Beauty & Style- Full Figured Fashion Week & The Curvycon
This week I had the pleasure of being in the same space as some of the innovator’s, creators, and leaders of the #Full Beauty / Curve movement. I started my week off with the Official Welcome Party Luau given by Ms. Gwen Devoe creator of Full Figured Fashion Week. There I met the likes of Ms. Sharon Quinn of “Model Behavior” she was the coach for #FFFWeek2015 hosted by “#FitforMe” Fruit of the Loom. I live in central Jersey and I usually drive to NYC, but this week I decided that it would be more economical for me to just take public transportation, and plus it was raining and…

Let The Snack Battle Begin
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! No one will admit it but to most Americans, this is a holiday. Just as the CME (people who only go to church on Christmas Mother’s Day & Easter) make it to Sunday service, as does all of America become football fans! We all sit around and watch what is kinda like a modern gladiator war. Don’t get me wrong I was raised by a single Father with brothers and mostly male cousins, so football season was like the “ Holy” season in my house. Yes the Super Bowl was the high holiday! With all the SuperBowl Parties, Football pools, betting, and wagers that will be…

Watch Out For The Big Girls
Plus Size Women Take Center Stage! “Watch Out For The Big Girl”one of my favorite club bangers back in the day. I’m from Jersey so you know we do the Club Music. If you’ve never heard it you got to look it up and get your jam in real quick. Lol! Just imagine if we really had a plus sized daily printed periodical, what would some of the headlines be? This was my inspiration for this post. In fact I’m going to do one of these every few weeks just so we know what’s out there for us, so we can support it. Well let me get this off…

Top Five Ways To Take The Fuss Out Of Fabulousness
Hey Sistas, well 2014 is coming to a close and we are knocking on the door of 2015. Last New Year’s Day, I made a promise to my family for the year of 2014; I would enjoy my life more and get back to loving me and sharing my wonderfulness with the world. LOL! Little did I know what God had in store for us. At that time, I didn’t know that I would start a blog to share my natural journey, and my struggle finding fashionable affordable plus sized items that fit my style. By the way my style is, I love the high maintenance look but I’m lazy so…

Was this not one of the best summers that we’ve had in a long time? I know it has been for me, but atlas, we bid adieu to summer. So we have officially entered the Fall of 2014. It seems that we have been seeing articles and posts about it for the last 6 weeks. And wouldn’t you know it, here’s another one.

That Blessed oil, My ride or dry!
Hey Phatty, I know we’re always getting flooded with the next “try this” product, and most of our closets or dressers are filled with so many things that we never use. Or even worse, products that we hate! Don’t get me wrong there are truly great products out there, but sometimes we over-look the items that we already have right in our very own kitchens! But why would we automatically think to check our cupboards for hair products? I can remember getting yelled at for over using something that was intended for food. I can’t imagine telling the adults that I needed some olive oil for my hair lol. But…
