How to Style A Plus Size Pencil Skirt: Mixed Up In Prints
Well, this is supposed to be my Thanksgiving Holiday look. However, I’m just not sure how long this belt is going to stay on, once the food starts going in!

It has a kind of vintage style which I seem to be drawn to. I…

Born Flawless : Embrace Your Normal
“You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” Song of Songs 4:7 NIV First and foremost God loves you and “You were born flawless” Auntie Oprah likes to say babies come into the world trailing the breath of Angels. They know they are born flawless. As we grow through life and experiences we get imprinted with images, encounters and other people’s beliefs and ideas which cause us to question our flawless-ness. These people who imprint their beliefs, and fears on our psyche, sometimes think they are doing us a favor. I’m not just talking about tramatic or drastic things. Sometimes these are subtle consistant themes or words that…

Inspired By – Imitation VS Duplication
Have you ever heard the saying, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” ? Well, there’s another side to this coin. Duplication is the surest way to fail. In this era of social media we are constantly bombarded with images, ads, and words that tailor our thinking one way or another.
