A few weeks ago I said how I was Preparing For Cuffin’ Season. I said how I was going to be more open to dating. Today we have entered pre-season in the cuffin’ season and I haven’t made much progress in being cuffed. Honestly! Truly! I haven’t taking any of my own advice. But I’m putting my heel down. In order to achieve anything you must have a vision. So I thought about what I would want to do on my first date. Dinner is a given but I would like to do something that would allow us to talk. The first thing that came to mind is a visit to Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
I was lucky enough to see Kerry James Marshall exhibition while it was at MCAC. I found the collection to be bold and beautiful. A celebration of blackness. Mr. Marshall’s work will be in Chicago until 09/25 before it’s moved to NYC where it’ll be housed at the Met.
Ideally for me spending time with a person that will help me grow as a person is best. Art does that. It’s a reflection of life past, present and future. I was moved in seeing how a person could dream up something in their head and make it come to life for the world to see. Thinking outside the box when trying to get to know a person can be so beneficial. I’m thinking The Adler Planetarium next.
I left the museum feeling like this dating thing could be nice, lol. So I’m going to start working on it! I’ll let you know what happens next.

I found about the Miller Lite #IDDCmustlovebeards #kickbackseries day party from my blogger boo Ivory Jinelle. When I was in L.A. we had dinner and she got on me about my dating life. I told her I pretty much work and do events for my blog. She wasn’t having it. What seemed like the second my plane landed in Chicago she sent me a message about the day party. I told a handful of friends about the party but I ended up going alone. Which was fine I usually go to all my blog events alone. This time felt a little different. To be honest I was very nervous. I don’t know why but I was. I took longer than I normally do getting ready. My friend tried to coach me though my silly fears. I shock off my doubts and hopped in my Uber. I told myself that my Too Matte With Love lippie was all I needed, lol. Besides there are very few place I can go in Chicago and not know someone. Turns out this day party was no different. You can read my thoughts on the day party here.
I wanted to wear my new bandeau top by any means, lol. Rain or shine. I matched it up with about 125,376,364,375 combinations. I have a matching scarf but decided not to wear it. For people out there that take issue with me having my stomach out I say poke your eyes out if you don’t like what you see. My fat sisters would have been proud because I walked in head high thinking …
My thoughts: If you do purchase from AṢỌ DÁRA I would suggest buying the head wrap and wearing it as a bandeau top also. That’s what I did. Getting both isn’t really necessary unless you want to have a matching head wrap & bandeau top. If that’s the case just get two head wraps if you like have more fabric to work with. I really like the packaging my items came in. I was also sent a handwritten thank you note. The shipping was fast also which is always good! Pieces sell out fast so if you see something you like buy it. I am not an affiliate. You can read my thoughts on the Miller Lite #kickbackseries with I Don’t Do Clubs day party here.

After seeing Southside With You I felt like I was hit with Cupid’s arrow. I was in love with love but then it hit me. I’m as single as a dollar bill. I’ve been very single for a while now and I think I’m really to start dating again. There are a few things I need to do to get myself in the proper mind set for dating.
1) Become open to dating.
I haven’t been making myself available to dating or a relationship. My main focus has been on my blog and making it successful.
2) Shorten my want list.
My good girlfriend told me that my what I want in a relationship list was unrealistic.
3) Stop thinking all men are liars.
I can’t stand a liar so if something doesn’t add up I’m quick to be out. I need to stop looking for the lie.
4) Start an online dating profile.
I would prefer to meet someone the old fashion way but I need to be open.
5) Go where the guys are.
I go out a lot but it’s mainly blog related and when I get to events I’m all business. I’ll need to start going where the action is.
Hopefully with these changes I’ll have a bae by the start of cuffin’s season.
Wish me luck!

I was feeling extra specially cute when I went to the screening of Southside With you. I took a few e.l.f. brushes & M.A.C. products and when to work. If you follow me on Snapchat you were a witness to the glo up, lol.
Beside showing of my outfit I wanted to encourage other fat girls to show off their shapes. I hear a lot of plus size girls saying they don’t like wearing short because of how their legs or thighs look. I here to say again “Don’t worry about what others may think or say.” Because simply…
