5 Random Facts About theFatGirlofFashion

I started blogger because I wanted the world to know that Chicago had women that were plus size and fashionable. Overwhelming engagement thefatgirloffashion expanded to include lifestyle. We discuss things like travel, food, and reviews. We all know my motto is “I’m happy with me.” If you’re happy with yourself than you will be more likely to live life on your own terms. That’s why randomness is important. With that being said here are 5 random facts about me.

Random fact number one is I’m going to Paris. Paris, France is the plan for my 40th birthday. I’m counting down the seconds! I’m on the fence about how long to stay and what to do when I arrive. Of course I’ll do all the regular tourist things but I want to see street culture off the beaten path. We’ll see.

m-a-c-cosmetics-x-taraji-p-henson-mactaraji-reviewed

Random fact two is I’ve grown into a real makeup junkie. It use to take me about 3o mins to do my eyebrows. I know along time but they were fleek. Over time now I can do just as good of a job within a quarter of the time. I use 3 products. First brushing the hairs with an e.l.f. wand. Then shaping with a Wet N Wild pencil and LA Girl concealer in color fawn & toast applied with an e.l.f. 1814 brush.

Random fact number 3 is that my favorite movie of all time is The Color Purple. Followed up closely by Dream Girls. When I first moved out on my own I didn’t have cable. Only a VCR player. Yes VCR, lol. I would watch The Color Purple over and over. The storyline was powerful and the acting was amazing. My favorite line from the movie is captured in Miss Celie Voice.

“I’m poor, black, I might even be ugly, but dear God, I’m here. I’m here.”

Random fact 4. I loooooove social media. I adore being connected to people world wide. Seeing things from the point of view others is how one grows.

We can connect everywhere.

The last random fact is that if I could move today I would move to Los Angeles

NO MORE SNOW, lol. I love Chicago. If I could move Chicago to a warmer climate I would do it in a heartbeat. New York would be idea for a blogger but the weather there is no better than Chicago. Like I said before I love Chicago so they’re stuck with me.

Chicago Bulls games have become a real fashion event. And now that the Bulls have added Dwyane Wade to the team I could find myself seating shoulder to shoulder with his wife and Birth of Nation star Gabrielle Union.

Self Care | Winter Blues

October 2, 2016April 13, 2024Posted in LIFESTYLE, UncategorizedTagged Chicago, Dating, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLE, makeup, mental health, mommy blogger, plus size, plus size fashion, REVIEWS, self love, Suicide Prevention, TRAVEL1 Comment

Fall has just arrived and I can already feeling the start of the winter blues. The sun is disappearing sooner making way for dark evenings. This season I’m being proactive with some of the things I’ll be doing to help my mood. Here are a few things I’m doing to get started.

Start doing daily affirmation journal.

Tell yourself great things about yourself. Write down the great things people say about you to read later. We easily tell others what we love about them but it’s harder to do the same for ourself. So writing down what others find great about you will make it easier.

Shadow Flora Mini Notebook & Pen | Inspirations & Ideas Notebook | Wild & Free Paperback Journal

Hit the delete button on your social media feeds.

We all have that one friend that is a Debbie downer. Delete them! You don’t have to see day after day these people and their sad Instagram post. You are not required see their drama filled Facebook statuses. Don’t read their woo is me tweets. At the least mute them.

Give your body attention.

Wear things that feels great next to your skin. Get a sexy grown to wear at night. Moisture. Dry skin gets itchy and will make you feel bad. Self sooth. Stroke yourself. Look lovingly at yourself. No one can make your body feel as good as you can.

LACE BABYDOLL | Day-to-Night Healthy Skin Set | Venus Butterfly

Fix things that annoy you.

Fix that broken zipper, that wobbly table, change that light bulb that’s out. Fixing these small things will give you a sense of accomplishment. Change always starts off small.

Be selfish.

Get something that makes you happy. It’s Monday stop and get a new dress. On Wednesday get a clutch. New shoes on Sunday, Why not! Don’t go broke now, lol. That’ll cause other problems.

CEGINUS DRESS | Faux Suede Fringe Booties | Mesh Envelope Clutch

Get social.

Goof around for a bit. Get out of your comfort zone, even if it’s just talking to a stranger at the bus stop. Dance to your favorite song. Shake your booty. Have a good laugh even if it’s at yourself.

Pictured: theCurvycon co-founders Chastity Garner StyleValentine and CeCe Olisa

theCURVYcon is a two day event that brings plus size Brands, Fashionistas, Shopaholics, Bloggers and YouTubers into one space, to chat curvy, shop curvy and embrace curvy. Come join us as we embrace our curves, do a little shopping, and tackle topics like confidence, fashion and style, health, fitness, dating, body positivity and everything in between! For 2017 this plus friendly event will take place during NYC FALL FASHION WEEK September 8th & 9th.

2017 “So YOU WANT TO BE A GIRL BOSS” Panel with Nicolette Mason & Gabifresh, Garner Style & CeCe Olisa moderated by Aminatou Sow

As a plus size woman I needed theCurvycon. Often times when I attend fashion events I’m the largest woman in the room. Many of the looks are not even sized for me to purchase. So when I found myself in a room full of fabulous fatties I truly felt better about myself. Personally I don’t have self-esteem issues. I’ve been plus size since a preteen. I’ve always enjoyed fashion but didn’t have many options. As an mature woman much hasn’t changed. I’m still a plus size lover of fashion but there are a few more fashion options to select from. But still have less clothing options to select from then my straight size friends can make even the most confident woman feel less than. theCURVYcon reminded me that there are many fabulous women and men of size and they have her servicing fierce fashion on a silver platter. This is why I’m excited for 2017.

Whitney Way will be on the Confident Sex, Love & Dating panel.
