TALES FROM THE BELLY FLAP

I have been curvy since I was an adolescent, I vividly remember the very first time somebody called me fat I was in the 4th grade and it devastated me. It was like they had been waiting the entire year to call me fat. It was like everybody was thinking it but nobody would say it, but once somebody did, It was open season on the duck farm! I got in more trouble that year. I lashed out in all kinds of ways I would fight and I started cursing people out in the 4th grade. When I got to the 5th grade it became a whole new ball game. My mother would threaten me every morning after breakfast by telling me that I had just eaten my last meal if she had leave her job and come up to my school because I was showing my......! The problem wasn’t that I was misbehaving, I just wasn’t really focused. I was being teased a lot for various reasons my weight being the biggest. I became depressed throughout much of my elementary and middle school years with no one to turn to and no one to make me feel lik

The Power of Your Words!!

So I have a question for some parents of curvy young girls. Why are there are still in parents in 2017, that say and do things horrible things to children that they deem "overweight"? Why are these things said to be done out of love, or for their own good? Could it be possible that some adults are really that thick headed? I am sure that some just don't think, or just don't realize how much damage is being done with their words. It is in no way helpful to constantly remind a child of your issues with their weight. They know they are overweight. They woke up like that and saw themselves before you did, I promise! Now please understand that this is not something that every curvy young girl experiences but it is an unfortunate nightmare for some. My goal is to empower young women. So, if even one girl is dealing with something like this, then we should all support them and be a voice for them.A voice to those who don't have the confidence to say that they are hurting

SHOP CONFIDENTLY!!!!

Most women jump for joy in the mere thought of going shopping. Buying shoes, dresses, jeans, new tops it’s any girls favorite activity, right? Well at least it’s supposed to be. Ok, so since were all friends here, I will admit that I have be shopping with women much smaller than myself…. Trying to fit in where I didn’t and trying to act like I felt better about my body than I did. I felt like If I associated myself with thinner women then eventually I would be more socially accepted They respected my fashion opinion and I did love to give it. So, I used this as sort of a golden ticket into a group of women I thought I wanted to be like (Not my smartest moment, don’t judge me!) I called them my Barbie dolls, they would often encourage me to pick out different outfits and would tell how good things would look on me or saying, “You can fit this go try it on” and then politely hand over the item in a size XL, REALLY!   On one shopping trip, at a popular nationwide clothing that on

Basic Fashion Tips For An Anything But Basic Result.

So ladies lets go over a few things. We make so many purchases in the name fashion, but how many of those purchases are actually worth it. You may have a closet full of spectacular outfits but do you have your closet staples. Do you have that one piece that can take a blah outfit and turn it into POW! Here are few things that not only every curvy girl but every girl should have in her arsenal of fabulousness. 1. A Foundation Garment- My all time favorite foundation would be my Spanx, I love them! They smooth out my not so favorite areas. For most women it cuts down on the wiggle and jiggle while still leaving you comfortable also can be worn year round. 2. Black Leggings- Now there is a fine line here. The material of your leggings should be heavy fabric and they should have a tight stretch to them. I hate to see a curvy girl in cheap leggings that don’t do anything for your thighs that have been stretch to the brink and are almost see through. 3. Black trousers or dress pa
