Living Without Compromise

Please welcome little blog’s newest contributor, Lisa Zahiya!   Last month I randomly found myself alone with a day to myself in Atlanta, GA. I felt grateful, in the midst of a busy spring, I was able to do a favorite activity – walking a big city, earbuds in, with some dedicated thinking and dreaming time. I set my mind to what I wanted this year and moving forward in my life. I was thinking about all the things I am {Read More}

Mr Wonderful to the (Beauty) Rescue!

I’ve mentioned my husband a few times in previous posts…. I lovingly refer to him as “Mr Wonderful.”  And, while some of you may have assumed a little tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, there is none.  Because Mr Wonderful is actually pretty wonderful.  He is my most favorite person in the whole world.  And, every single day, I am grateful that I am his favorite person, too. Our married life has been happy.  Though some could never fathom it, we spend nearly every {Read More}

“Designer Valentine” Giveaway

I am not particularly interested in designers or their labels.  I am certain they are even less interested in outfitting my plus size body.  This works out well for all concerned, as my purchases have always been based on the way an item looks, fits and feels rather than who made it. Because there are so few designers making anything larger than a 12 or 14, and because I’m never actively seeking out specific lines, they rarely find their way {Read More}

Happy New Year!

And I carried that {Read More}
