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.

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.
