Livin' in Leggings


  The purpose of this post is another review, which I love!!!!! I've recently joined a great group of plus-sized bloggers, Ahead of the Curve Blog Hop, who are going to be blogging monthly on the same topic but different points of view. Cool, right?  This month is "Legging Like Things", yahoo!!  The truth about leggings, I definitely have a love/hate relationship with leggings.  I have about 10 pairs and I don't wear them as often as I could.  To be brutally honest, until recently sometime last year I felt I couldn't pull off leggings, I was afraid it accentuated all the problem spots and just made things worse.  Out of the many pairs I have a few stand out, so I thought I would take a picture in my favorite pair but list a couple others that I have and love.  Coming in at a close second, believe it or not, are a brand called Massini that you get at Meijer, they usually run about $10.00 and are comfy.  Another brand I have to mention is Old Navy, these don't last as long, kind of loses the stretch but still pretty efficient. 

            Last but not least, my favorite, the Lane Bryant Control Top Leggings.  I love these they make me feel amazing but still comfortable while still having control.  Honestly, Lane Bryant make these in more colors and variations.  I currently own these in black and a deep wine color but I'd take a few more pairs for sure.  The current ones I am wearing I've had about two years and still look and feel brand new for sure, there is no visible wear and these still fit close to the body.  These run around $28.00 but I've always bought them on sale and with coupons.

Keep it Clean...

First off, Welcome to my little spot!!!  I will start off by saying just a little bit about me.  I am new to the whole blog scene but I am loving it so far.  I love fashion, I am plus-sized and come on there just isn't enough reviews and clothes out there for us. Just my opinion.. I am planning on keeping this blog based on the things I love.. Crafting (Pinterest..OMG)..Fashion (Oh how I love thee)..Skin Care/Makeup, maybe a little cooking.  I am not an expert on any of these areas but they are definitely high priorities in my life.  This is a place to have fun and maybe learn a few things along the way.  If there are any suggestions feel free to leave a comment and follow me in the social media world!! :)


REVIEW TIME!!!!! I am so in LOVE with this product. Trust me try it you will fall in love as well.  It is called GLAMGLOW Super-Mud Clearing Treatment. Let me tell you this stuff is amazeballs for sure.  I am in love with Sephora so I took a little trip for some goods and a couple weeks prior I was hearing about this wonderful mud mask that cleared black heads, it was getting rave reviews so I thought why not.  I honestly have never had my skin feeling so nice after a treatment of any kind.  When it starts to dry the beauty of it is you can almost see it working in your pores.  I am by no means affiliated with either company but it honestly is the most amazing product I have ever put on my face for sure.  So, in a nutshell, hop into your car, train, plane, bus, or bike head to the nearest Sephora or hit them online for free shipping and just try this out.  I will post a couple pics below to see what it looks like excuse the wild hair!!!



Peace and Love,
