Critical People…

I have been debating for the last several hours about posting this rant on here. I finally decided I would just do it.

I’m a bit pissed off right now. So I will try to keep my ranting to a bit of a minimum, but understand I make no promises.

Can anyone tell me why it is the people in our lives that should not judge us, that should love us, accept us and encourage us the most that end up being the ones that hurt us the most? Don’t get me wrong, I have some pretty great people in my life that love me and accept me just the way I am. But it’s those few that don’t that cause the most pain.

Frustrated With My Pants!

  • Posted on January 21, 2010 at 6:12 am

Ok, so I am utterly irritated right now! I’m in one of my moods today. I am getting dressed for work. I started going through my pants. Bad idea on a day like today…but anyways, I’ve read a lot of different articles about buying the right pants for your figure..don’t do this, do this, buy these, don’t buy these…

I have to say, when you are a full figured shorter woman…buying pants just flat our SUCKS!

I prefer bootleg or flare, depending on the amount of flare..lol I also have some of Lane Bryants straight leg which I like too. I don’t think any of them actually look right on me…I am short but hate petite fit pants. ESPECIALLY if they are flare. It’s like they come in at the knee and then balloon back out and they make me look short and frumpy. I can’t stand looking short and frumpy…but if I go with average then they drag the ground most of the time and I tear the bottoms up.

Even my dress pants are like this. I’ve even had some altered and still hate how they look! I’ve come to the conclusion that when I shop, I’m not going to look at anything other than how my butt looks in them…if my butt looks good I am buying them…LOL!

I have some really great pants, jeans etc…but I don’t wear most of them cause I hate how they look.

One thing I will say…If I wear heels with my jeans, they look better than if I wear some other kind of shoe, but who the hell wants to wear heels all of the time…

Ok, just had to get that off my chest…lol

Tell me…when you buy your pants/jeans what do you look for? Are there certain styles you like better?

PLUS TEEN USA

PLUS TEEN USA

DEMAND FULFILLED WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF REGIONAL PAGEANTS

“Promoting Inner Beauty, Self-Acceptance, and Confidence That Permeates Outwardly”

For Immediate Release
P- 817-317-1992
Contact: Jacqueline Lawrence, National Director
Email: plusteenusa@yahoo.com
www.plusteenusa.com

United States- Because 50% of teenage girls in the United States are either already plus sized, or on the verge of becoming plus sized, Plus Teen USA acknowledged the need for a pageant and self-esteem building conference exclusively for plus size teens; its mission- to embrace, celebrate, empower, and transform plus teens across America.

The project works to help beautiful young ladies not get caught up in the lie that they are not worthy of the acceptance, recognition, celebration, and inspiration in which their thinner counterparts enjoy, but that they, too, deserve self-love, life fulfillment, and a pageant experience to express their own unique beauty.

The Plus Teen USA pageant, which promotes healthy living, gives young ladies an opportunity to collaborate with like minded youth, create lasting friendships, and to have a place in the beauty and fashion industry. The contestant crowned Plus Teen USA will be selected among young ladies ages 13 – 19, who wear a size 12 and above.

Plus Teen USA 2009, America’s first pageant and conference exclusively for plus size teens, was held during the weekend of October 23-25 in the DFW Metroplex, and was attended by the Style Network’s “RUBY”, who mentored the contestants and encouraged them to live life now in the skin they’re in. Sharon Quinn, also known as “The Original Runway Diva” from all three seasons of Oxygen’s MoNique’s Fat Chance, was the featured speaker and modeling trainer. Lynae Tucker from Grand Rapids, South Dakota took the crown.

Responding to the growing need for plus teens to recognize their inner beauty while becoming confident from the inside, out, Jacqueline Lawrence, founder and CEO, launched four Regional Pageants, which will be held during the month of July, 2010 in the cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York, along with the National Pageant and Conference, which will again be held in the DFW Metroplex in October.

Plus teens across America will walk away with a renewed sense of self esteem, self awareness, self image, self acceptance… SELF. Plus Teen Regional titleholders will earn their region’s crown, and one plus size beauty will walk away with the title of Plus Teen USA 2010, a beautiful crown, a minimum $500.00 scholarship, the opportunity to represent plus teens all over the nation, and numerous other fantastic prizes.

Plus size teens interested in participating in a life transforming experience are encouraged to register online today to become contestants at www.plusteenusa.com.

A Daily Struggle

  • Posted on December 30, 2009 at 9:26 am

It’s so funny when you sit back and really think about the things that affect us on a day to day basis, what makes us who we are. Who do we strive to impress.

There are some days when I am so high on myself that nothing could pull me down. Days when I feel as beautiful as a Covergirl Model. When I know I look good and can feel it in my bones.

Then there are days when I feel like at any moment the flood gates are going to break and I am going to cry my eyes out. Like everyone is looking at me, and that I look awful and hate how I look and feel about myself.

There are days that I envision a goddess…and there are days that I envision a slob….

It’s hard. It’s hard to always be positive and love myself. I do a good job for the most part but it’s still hard. It’s something that I choose to work on daily. Something that I make a conscious effort at on a regular basis. Because I feel better when I like myself…

No amount of validation from other people on how pretty I am, how good I look etc, is going to make me happy…I have to learn to completely love myself and my flaws and learn that it really is ok to be me.

It’s a struggle everyday…some days are good and some days are bad…but today…I love me.

Plus Size Diva Spotlight and Company Spotlight

  • Posted on December 15, 2009 at 8:51 am

As many of you know I do a spotlight page for those Plus Size Diva’s that are well..awesome. LOL This month I have put up a new one. Her name is TroJah. One reason I picked her is that she has went a step further than just being a good role model and loving her curves.

She has an organization called Elite Plus Inc. You can visit it here: Elite Plus Inc

With her organization she is helping the young and the old to come together (sort of like a sisterhood) to get solutions to daily problems and teach (as well as learn) how to channel the negative energy into positive aspects of life.

Their mission statement which I love is:

Our deepest passion is getting Full Figured women and young girls to understand that we have a place in this world; and its at the top. Elite Plus desire is to recruit women who are confident in their own skin and be a seed of hope to those who struggle daily with the concept of self-love. We want to discover a new way of living life, and ultimately live a happy, healthy, and prosperous one.

Take time to check out her website! It’s such a wonderful idea and can’t wait to see where she takes her organization!
